h. trial and deposition witnesses, provided that the Confidential Information is furnished, shown, or disclosed in accordance with paragraphs 14 and 15, respectively, herein; and
i. any other person agreed to in writing by counsel for the parties.
9. Before any disclosure of Confidential Information is made to any person pursuant to paragraph 7(f), 7(g), 7(j), 7(k), 8(e), 8(h), or 8(i) herein, such person must execute a confidentiality agreement in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. Counsel shall maintain the executed confidentiality agreements required by this Protective Order and supply a copy to counsel for the other party upon request; provided, however, that with respect to experts and consultants, counsel for the party shall not be required to supply a copy to counsel for the other party unless and until that expert is disclosed pursuant to Rule 26 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedures. 10. Any document or information that may contain Confidential Information that has been inadvertently produced without identification as to its confidential nature may be so designated by the party asserting the confidentiality privilege by written notice to the undersigned counsel for the Receiving Party identifying the document or information as “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential- Outside Counsel Only” within a reasonable time following the discovery that the document or information has been produced without such designation. Any party producing such improperly designated documents shall retrieve such documents from persons not entitled to receive those documents. 11. With respect to objections to designations of documents and information as “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential-Outside Counsel Only,” a party shall not be obligated to challenge the propriety of a designation as “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential-Outside Counsel Only” at the time made. In the event that any party to this Action disagrees at any stage of these proceedings with the designation by the Producing Party of any information as “Confidential” or
“Highly Confidential-Outside Counsel Only,” or the designation of any person as a Qualified Person, that party may serve upon counsel for the designating party a written notice stating with particularly the grounds for the objection, within the later of fourteen (14) days of the designation or entry of this Order. The parties and any affected protected person shall then discuss this contention and attempt to resolve the disagreement over the classification of the material. If the parties and the affected protected person cannot resolve the matter within fourteen (14) days, the designating party must submit a motion to the Court for resolution. Pending the resolution of such motion by the Court and any subsequent appeal therefrom, the parties agree to treat the information that is the subject of the motion in accordance with the Producing Party’s designation. The Producing Party shall at all times carry the initial burden of establishing that the contested information merits a “Confidential” or “Highly-
Confidential-Outside Counsel Only” designation. 12. All depositions, the information disclosed therein, and the transcripts thereof shall presumptively be treated as Confidential Information and subject to this Protective Order during the deposition and for a period of thirty (30) days after a transcript of said deposition is received by counsel for each of the parties. At or before the end of such thirty-day period, any party who claims some part of the deposition shall be classified as “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential-Outside Counsel Only” shall notify all of the parties in writing of the specific pages and lines of the transcript which should be treated as Confidential Information thereafter, including the appropriate tier of confidentiality. 13. A Receiving Party who seeks to file with the Court any deposition transcripts, exhibits, answers to interrogatories, and other documents which have previously been designated as comprising or containing Confidential Information, any pleading, brief, or memorandum which reproduces, paraphrases, or discloses Confidential Information, shall follow the procedures of this Court for seeking leave to file documents under seal so as to prevent the disclosure of Confidential Information to persons other than Qualified Persons. The party who designated the documents “Confidential” or
“Highly Confidential-Outside Counsel Only” will have the obligation to justify any sealing request. Notwithstanding any other provision, no document may be filed with the Clerk under seal without a further Order of this Court addressing the specific documents or portions of documents to be sealed. Any application to seal shall be accompanied by an affidavit or affidavits and a memorandum of law, demonstrating that the standards for sealing have been met and specifically addressing the applicability of Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 119, 119-120 (2d Cir. 2006) and any other controlling authority. Unless otherwise ordered, a party seeking to file an opposing party’s confidential information shall so advise the opposing party fourteen (14) days in advance specifying the precise portion of the information the party seeks to use, the general purpose thereof and any redactions to which the party does not object. Within seven (7) days thereafter, the party whose confidential
information is sought to be used may make an application to seal in accordance with the first paragraph of this Order, indicating the portion or portions of the information it seeks to have sealed. Nothing herein is intended to alter or modify the applicability of Rule 5.2, Fed. R. P., to this case. The redactions expressly authorized by Rule 5.2 may be made without further application of the Court. 14. Should the need arise for any of the parties to disclose Confidential Information during any hearing or trial before the Court, including through argument or the presentation of evidence, such party may do so only after taking such steps as agreed to by the parties or as the Court, upon motion of the disclosing party, shall deem necessary to preserve the confidentiality of such Confidential Information. 15. Any deposition witness who will be given access to Confidential Information shall, prior thereto, be provided with a copy of this Protective Order and counsel producing such witness shall make reasonable efforts to have such witness execute a confidentiality agreement in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto. If unable to obtain an executed confidentiality agreement from such witness, counsel producing such witness shall immediately and prior to the deposition provide notice to counsel
for the other party, who may seek relief from the Court regarding the terms and conditions under which Confidential Information may be disclosed to the witness in the deposition. Alternatively, counsel for the parties agree that Confidential Information is adequately protected by such witness’s existing obligations to maintain the confidentiality of such information. Nothing herein, however, shall prevent any counsel of record from utilizing Confidential Information in the examination or cross-examination of any witness who is indicated on the document as being an author or recipient of the Confidential Information, irrespective of which party produced such information. Further, no executed confidentiality agreement shall be required to show a current officer or employee of a party any Confidential Information that was disclosed by that party, provided that such Confidential Information is reasonably necessary and relevant to eliciting the testimony of such officer or employee.
16. A party may designate as Confidential Information subject to this Protective Order any document, information, or deposition testimony produced or given by any nonparty to this case, or any portion thereof, where such information has not already been designated as “Confidential” or “Highly Confidential-Outside Counsel Only” by the nonparty. 17. The production or disclosure of Confidential Information shall in no way constitute a waiver of each party’s right to object to the production or disclosure of other information in this Action or in any other action. 18. In the event that the Receiving Party is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in a legal proceeding, subpoena, civil investigative demand, other similar process, or rule of law) to disclose any Confidential Information in another action or proceeding, the Receiving Party shall provide the Producing Party with prompt written notice of any such request or requirement so that the Producing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Protective Order, provided, however, that nothing in this Protective Order shall be interpreted to obligate the
Receiving Party to seek such a protective order or other remedy. Unless the Producing Party waives the protections of this Protective Order, the Receiving Party will not disclose any Confidential Information except pursuant to the order of a court of competent jurisdiction directing the disclosure of such Confidential Information. 19. Consistent with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B) and Federal Rule of Evidence 502, in the event a Producing Party inadvertently discloses information subject to the attorney-client privilege, attorney work-product doctrine, or other applicable privilege or immunity, the disclosure of the inadvertently disclosed information shall not constitute or be deemed a waiver or forfeiture of any claim of privilege or work product protection that the Producing Party would otherwise be entitled to assert with respect to the inadvertently disclosed information and its subject
matter. Where it appears on its face that the information was inadvertently disclosed, or the Producing Party informs the Receiving Party that privileged information has been disclosed, the Receiving Party (i) must promptly return or destroy the specified information, (ii) must not use or disclose the information until the claim is resolved, (iii) must take reasonable steps to retrieve any such information that was disclosed or distributed before the Receiving Party was notified and prevent any further dissemination of the information, and (iv) may promptly present the information to the Court for a determination of the claim. The Producing Party must preserve the information until the claim is resolved. 20. In the event anyone shall violate or threaten to violate any terms of this Protective Order, the aggrieved party may immediately apply to the Court to obtain relief, including, without limitation, injunctive relief against such person. The existence, if any, of an adequate remedy at law shall not preclude the applying party from obtaining such relief. 21. This Protective Order shall continue to be binding after the conclusion of this litigation except that (a) there shall be no restriction on documents that are used as exhibits in Court (unless such
exhibits were filed under seal); and (b) a party may seek the written permission of the Producing Party or further order of the Court with respect to dissolution or modification of any provision of the Protective Order. The provisions of this Protective Order shall, absent prior written consent of both parties, continue to be binding after the conclusion of this Action. The Court expressly retains jurisdiction over this Action for enforcement of the provisions of this Protective Order following the final resolution of the Action. 22. Nothing herein shall be deemed to waive any privilege recognized by law, or shall be deemed an admission as to the admissibility in evidence of any facts or documents revealed in the course of disclosure. 23. Within sixty (60) days after entry of an order, judgment, or decree finally disposing of
this Action and any appeals, all Confidential Information produced or designated and all reproductions thereof, shall, subject to the exceptions below, be returned to the Producing Party or shall be destroyed, at the option of the Producing Party. In the event that any party chooses to destroy physical objects and documents, such party shall certify in writing within sixty (60) days of the final termination of this litigation that it has undertaken its best efforts to destroy such physical objects and documents, and that such physical objects and documents have been destroyed to the best of its knowledge. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, counsel of record for the parties may retain all pleadings, motion papers, discovery responses, deposition transcripts, deposition and trial exhibits, legal memoranda, correspondence, work-product, and attorney-client communications that include or are derived from Confidential Information. This Protective Order shall not be interpreted in a manner that would violate any applicable canons of ethics or codes of professional responsibility. Nothing in this Protective Order shall prohibit or interfere with the ability of counsel for any party, or of experts specifically retained for this case, to represent any individual, corporation, or other entity adverse to any party or its affiliate(s) in connection with any other matters.
24. This Protective Order is entered into without prejudice to the right of either party to seek relief from, or modification of, this Protective Order or any provisions thereof by properly noticed motion to the Court or to challenge any designation of confidentiality as inappropriate under applicable law. 25. This Protective Order may be changed by further order of this Court, and is without prejudice to the rights of a party to move for relief from any of its provisions, or to seek or agree to different or additional protection for any particular material or information. 26. When serving any subpoena in this Action on a nonparty to the Action, a copy of this Protective Order shall be included with the subpoena. 27. This Protective Order shall be binding upon any future party to the Action.
28. This Protective Order may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same document.
