21 IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by the undersigned attorneys for the 22 respective parties, that with regard to material disclosed in the course of the above-captioned lawsuit 23 (“Lawsuit”) which constitute or contain trade secrets or other confidential research, development, or 24 commercial information of the parties (“Confidential Material”), the following procedures shall 25 govern: 26 1. This Order is meant to encompass all forms of disclosure which may contain 27 Confidential Material, including any document, pleading, motion, exhibit, declaration, affidavit, 28 1 deposition transcript, inspection and all other tangible items (electronic media, photographs, 2 videocassettes, etc.). 3 2. The parties may designate any Confidential Material produced or filed in this Lawsuit 4 as confidential and subject to the terms of this Order by marking such materials “Confidential”. If any 5 material has multiple pages, this designation need only be placed on the first page of such material. 6 Any material designated as “Confidential” shall not be disclosed to any person or entity, except to the 7 parties, counsel in this Lawsuit, and the Court. 8 3. Any material designated as confidential pursuant to paragraph 2 above shall be used 9 solely for the purposes of this Lawsuit and for no other purpose. 10 4. Prior to disclosure of any Confidential Material, each person to whom disclosure is to 11 be made shall execute a written “Confidentiality Agreement” (in the form attached hereto) consenting 12 to be bound by the terms of this Order. The parties, counsel for the respective parties (including legal 13 assistants and other personnel) and the Court are deemed to be bound by this Order and are not required 14 to execute a Confidentiality Agreement. 15 5. Only counsel of record in this Lawsuit shall be permitted to disseminate Confidential 16 Material. Upon dissemination of any Confidential Material, each non-designating counsel of record in 17 this Lawsuit shall maintain a written record as to: (1) the identity of any person given Confidential 18 Material, and (2) the identity of the Confidential Material so disseminated (such as by “Bates stamp” 19 number). Such record shall be made available to the designating party upon request. 20 6. If additional persons become parties to this Lawsuit, they shall not have access to any 21 Confidential Material until they execute and file with the Court their written agreement to be bound 22 by the terms of this Order. 23 7. In the event that any question is asked at a deposition that calls for the disclosure of 24 Confidential Material, the witness shall answer such question (unless otherwise instructed not to do 25 so on grounds of privilege) provided that the only persons in attendance at the deposition are persons 26 who are qualified to receive such information pursuant this Order. Deposition testimony may be 27 designated as confidential following the testimony having been given provided that: (1) such testimony 1 of the designation in writing within thirty days after receipt by the designating party of the respective 2 deposition transcript. All deposition transcripts in their entirety shall be treated in the interim as 3 “Confidential” pursuant to paragraph 2 above. When Confidential Material is incorporated in a 4 deposition transcript, the party designating such information confidential shall make arrangements 5 with the court reporter not to disclose any information except in accordance with the terms of this 6 Order. 7 8. If a deponent refuses to execute a Confidentiality Agreement, disclosure of 8 Confidential Material during the deposition shall not constitute a waiver of confidentiality. Under such 9 circumstances, the witness shall sign the original deposition transcript in the presence of the court 10 reporter and no copy of the transcript or exhibits shall be given to the deponent. 11 9. With respect to any communications to the Court, including any pleadings, motions or 12 other papers, all documents containing Confidential Material shall be done in accordance with Local 13 Rules IA 10-4 and IA 10-5, in additions to the directives set forth in Kamakana v. City and County of 14 Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172 (9th Cir. 2006) and Center for Auto Safety v. Chrysler Group, LLC, 809 F.3d 15 1092, 1097 (9th Cir. 2016). All communications shall indicate clearly which portions are designated 16 to be “Confidential” through a Motion to Seal and/or redaction 17 10. The Court may order the court files and records, or any part thereof, to be sealed or 18 redacted, provided the Court makes and enters written findings that the specific sealing or redaction 19 is justified by identified compelling privacy or safety interests that outweigh the public interest in 20 access to the court records. 21 11. If a non-designating party is subpoenaed or ordered to produce Confidential Material 22 by another court or administrative agency, such party shall promptly notify the designating party of 23 the pending subpoena or order and shall not produce any Confidential Material until the designating 24 party has had reasonable time to object or otherwise take appropriate steps to protect such Confidential 25 Material. 26 12. If a party believes that any Confidential Material does not contain confidential 27 information, it may contest the applicability of this Order to such information by notifying the 1 thirty days after such notice to meet and confer and attempt to resolve the issue. If the dispute is not 2 resolved within such period, the party seeking the protection shall have thirty days in which to make 3 a motion for a protective order with respect to contested information. Information that is subject to a 4 dispute as to whether it is properly designated shall be treated as designated in accordance with the 5 provisions of this Order until the Court issues a ruling. 6 13. Inadvertent failure to designate any material “Confidential” or shall not constitute a 7 waiver of an otherwise valid claim of confidentiality pursuant to this Order, so long as a claim of 8 confidentiality is asserted within fifteen days after discovery of the inadvertent failure. At such time, 9 arrangements shall be made by the parties to designate the material “Confidential” in accordance with 10 this Order. 11 14. This Order shall be without prejudice to the right of any party to oppose production of 12 any information or object to its admissibility into evidence. 13 15. When any counsel of record in this Lawsuit or any attorney who has executed a 14 Confidentiality Agreement becomes aware of any violation of this Order, or of facts constituting good 15 cause to believe that a violation of this Order may have occurred, such attorney shall report that there 16 may have been a violation of this Order to the Court and all counsel of record. 17 16.
