“2 15 161. A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS “47 Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public 19|| disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be 20|| warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter 21||the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order 22||does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery 23||and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the 24||limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the 25|| applicable legal principles. 26 B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT 27 This action is likely to involve confidential financial and proprietary 28 || information relating to the confidential information and business practices and policies _|-
1 of Defendant Synchrony Bank (“Synchrony”) and confidential information relating to 2 Plaintiff Alejandro Odeh-Lara (“Plaintiff”) for which special protection from public 3 disclosure and from use for any purpose other than the litigation of this action is 4 warranted. Such confidential and proprietary materials and information consist of, 5 among other things, confidential financial information, information regarding 6 confidential business practices, or other confidential research, development, or 7 commercial information, information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or 8 which may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal 9 statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to expedite the 10 flow of information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality 11 of discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties are entitled to 12 keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of 13 such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at 14 the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such 15 information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that information 16 will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so 17 designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, 18 non-public manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part of the public 19 record of this case. 20 C. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PROCEDURE FOR FILING UNDER 21 SEAL 22 The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this 23 Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information under 24 seal; Local Civil Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and the 25 standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file 26 material under seal. 27 There is a strong presumption that the public has a right of access to judicial proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non-dispositive motions, 1 good cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See Kamakana v. City and 2 County of Honolulu,
447 F.3d 1172, 1176(9th Cir. 2006), Phillips v. Gen. Motors 3 Corp.,
307 F.3d 1206, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar-Welbon v. Sony Electrics, Inc., 4
187 F.R.D. 576, 577(E.D. Wis. 1999) (even stipulated protective orders require good 5 cause showing), and a specific showing of good cause or compelling reasons with 6 proper evidentiary support and legal justification, must be made with respect to 7 Protected Material that a party seeks to file under seal. The parties’ mere designation 8 of Disclosure or Discovery Material as “Confidential” or “Confidential Manual” does 9 not— without the submission of competent evidence by declaration, establishing that 10 the material sought to be filed under seal qualifies as confidential, privileged, or 11 otherwise protectable—constitute good cause. 12 Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion or trial, then 13 compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must be shown, and the relief 14 sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the specific interest to be protected. See 15 Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Ass’n.,
605 F.3d 665, 677-79(9th Cir. 2010). For each 16 item or type of information, document, or thing sought to be filed or introduced under 17 seal in connection with a dispositive motion or trial, the party seeking protection must 18 articulate compelling reasons, supported by specific facts and legal justification, for 19 the requested sealing order. Again, competent evidence supporting the application to 20 file documents under seal must be provided by declaration. 21 Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable in its 22 entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential portions can be redacted. If 23 documents can be redacted, then a redacted version for public viewing, omitting only 24 the confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable portions of the document, shall 25 be filed. Any application that seeks to file documents under seal in their entirety 26 should include an explanation of why redaction is not feasible. 27 1||2.

This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial. 28 _5-_
14. DURATION 2 Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations 3\}imposed by this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees 4|| otherwise in writing or a court order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be 5|| deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in this Action, with 6|}or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion and 7\|exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this Action, including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time 9|| pursuant to applicable law. 10/5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL : 11 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.
: 12|| Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this : 13||Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies 14||under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for protection 2 15 only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written communications that : 16||qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, items, or 17||communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order. 19 Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations 20||that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper 21|| purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose 22|| unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating Party 23|| to sanctions. 24 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must 26|| promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation. 27 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in 28||this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise -6-
1 stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection 2 under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or 3 produced. 4 Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 5 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic 6 documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial 7 proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend 8 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL MANUAL” (hereinafter 9 “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that contains protected material. If only a 10 portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing 11 Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate 12 markings in the margins). 13 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection 14 need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated 15 which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before 16 the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed 17 confidential. After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants 18 copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or 19 portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the 20 specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL legend” 21 to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the 22 material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly 23 identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the 24 margins). 25 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party 26 identify the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the 27 deposition all protected testimony. 1 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary 2\|and for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place 3|}on the exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the 4|| legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL MANUAL.” If only a portion or 5||portions of the information warrants protection, the Producing Party, to the extent 6|| practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s). 7 5.3. Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent 8|| failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the 9|| Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. 10|| Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable : efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this : Order. 13/6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 14 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a 2 : 15||designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s : 16|| Scheduling Order. 17 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall meet and confer with the 18|| other party prior to challenging a designation of confidentiality. 19 6.3 Joint Stipulation. Any challenge submitted to the Court shall be via a 20|| joint stipulation pursuant to Local Rule 37-2. 21 6.4 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on 22||the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose 23||(e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may 24|| expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived 25||or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to afford the 26|| material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing 27|| Party’s designation until the Court rules on the challenge. 28 _Q.
17. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 2 7.1. Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is 3|| disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this 4||Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action.

Pages of transcribed 9 deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may be 10 separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as 11 permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and 12 (i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, 13 mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions. 14 7.3 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL MANUAL” Information or Items. Any 15 third party disclosure of Protected Material designated as “CONFIDENTIAL 16 MANUAL” shall be made only after notice is given to all Parties. Further no such 17 third party disclosure of Protected Material designated as “CONFIDENTIAL Manual” 18 shall be made unless all parties to this Stipulated Protective Order have had an 19 opportunity to object. If the parties cannot reach an agreement as to such disclosure, 20 the issue will be presented to the Court for a final determination. 21 The requirements of the preceding section, Section 7.2, shall not apply to 22 disclosure of Confidential Information designated as “Confidential Manual” when 23 disclosed to the following individuals: Randy Snyder and/or Jeff Hanson. 24 25 26 27 18 PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED 2 IN OTHER LITIGATION 3 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation 4||that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as 5|| “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL MANUAL,” that Party must: 6 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification 7|| shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order; 8 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or 9||order to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the 10|| subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a : 11|| copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and : 12 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be 13|| pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. 14 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with = 15||the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this : 16j}action as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL MANUAL before a 17|| determination by the court from which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party 18|| has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party shall bear the 19|| burden and expense of seeking protection in that court of its confidential material and 20||nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a 21|| Receiving Party in this Action to disobey a lawful directive from another court. 22/9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO _ BE 23 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION 24 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or 26|| “CONFIDENTIAL MANUAL.” Such information produced by Non-Parties in 27|| connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this 28 -|]-
1||Order. Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party 2|| from seeking additional protections. 3 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, 4||to produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is 5||subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s 6|| confidential information, then the Party shall: 7 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality 9|| agreement with a Non-Party; 10 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the : 11|| Stipulated Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a : reasonably specific description of the information requested; and 13 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by 14|| the Non-Party, if requested. 15 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court : 16|| within 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving 17||Party may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the 18|| discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving 19|| Party shall not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to 20|| the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court. 21|| Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense 22|| of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material. 23/10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 24 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in 27|| writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts 28|| to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or _12-
1|| persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, 2\}and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 411. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR 5 OTHERWISE PROTECTED MATERIAL 6 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain 7\|inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, 8||the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil 9|| Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure 10||may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior : privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the 12||parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or 13|}information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the 14|| parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted to 15|| the court. : 16/12. MISCELLANEOUS 17 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the nght of any 18|| person to seek its modification by the Court in the future. 19 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this 20|| Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to 21|| disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this 22||Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any 23|| ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order. 24 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any 25|| Protected Material must comply with Local Civil Rule 79-5. Protected Material may 26|}only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the 27|| specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party’s request to file Protected Material 28 _13-
under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in 2|| the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court. 3/13. FINAL DISPOSITION 4 After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 60 days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return 6|| all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, 8|}summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected 9|| Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving 10|| Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same : person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies 3 12||(by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or 13||destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any “= 15]/of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to : 16||retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert 18||reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in 21|| Section 4 (DURATION). 22/14. VIOLATION 23 Any violation of this Order may be punished by any and all appropriate 24||}measures including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary 25|| sanctions. 26 27 28 _14-
