24 /// 25 /// 26 27 1 1. A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS 2 Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential, 3 proprietary or private information for which special protection from public 4 disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may 5 be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to 6 enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this 7 Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to 8 discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends 9 only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment 10 under the applicable legal principles. 11 B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT 12 This action is likely to involve trade secrets, customer and pricing lists and 13 other valuable research, development, commercial, financial, technical and/or 14 proprietary information for which special protection from public disclosure and 15 from use for any purpose other than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such 16 confidential and proprietary materials and information consist of, among other 17 things, confidential business or financial information, information regarding 18 confidential business practices, or other confidential research, development, or 19 commercial information (including information implicating privacy rights of third 20 parties), information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or which may be 21 privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, 22 court rules, case decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of 23 information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of 24 discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties are entitled to keep 25 confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of 26 such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling 27 at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such 1 will not be designated as confidential or attorneys’ eyes only for tactical reasons and 2 that nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained 3 in a confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause why it should not be 4 part of the public record of this case, or, in the case of the most competitively 5 sensitive material, why it should be produced solely on an attorneys’ eyes only 6 basis.

7 C. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PROCEDURE FOR FILING UNDER 8 SEAL 9 The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this 10 Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information 11 under seal; Local Civil Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed 12 and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court 13 to file material under seal. 14 There is a strong presumption that the public has a right of access to judicial 15 proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non-dispositive motions, 16 good cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See Kamakana v. City and 17 County of Honolulu,

(9th Cir. 2006), Phillips v. Gen. Motors 18 Corp.,

, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar-Welbon v. Sony Electrics, 19 Inc.,

(E.D. Wis. 1999) (even stipulated protective orders 20 require good cause showing), and a specific showing of good cause or compelling 21 reasons with proper evidentiary support and legal justification, must be made with 22 respect to Protected Material that a party seeks to file under seal. The parties’ mere 23 designation of Disclosure or Discovery Material as “CONFIDENTIAL” or 24 “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” does not—without 25 the submission of competent evidence by declaration, establishing that the material 26 sought to be filed under seal qualifies as confidential, privileged, or otherwise 27 protectable—constitute good cause. 1 Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion or trial, then 2 compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must be shown, and the 3 relief sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the specific interest to be protected. 4 See Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Ass’n,

(9th Cir. 2010). For 5 each item or type of information, document, or thing sought to be filed or introduced 6 under seal in connection with a dispositive motion or trial, the party seeking 7 protection must articulate compelling reasons, supported by specific facts and legal 8 justification, for the requested sealing order. Again, competent evidence supporting 9 the application to file documents under seal must be provided by declaration. 10 Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable in 11 its entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential portions can be redacted. 12 If documents can be redacted, then a redacted version for public viewing, omitting 13 only the confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable portions of the document, 14 shall be filed. Any application that seeks to file documents under seal in their 15 entirety should include an explanation of why redaction is not feasible. 16 2. DEFINITIONS 17 2.1 Action: This pending federal lawsuit, Beyond Blonde Productions, LLC 18 v. Edward Heldman III, et al., No. 2:20-cv-05581-DSF-GJSx. 19 2.2 Challenging Party: A Party or Non-Party that challenges the 20 designation of information or items under this Order. 21 2.3 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: Information (regardless 22 of how it is generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for 23 protection under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), and as specified above in 24 the Good Cause Statement. 25 2.4 “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” 26 Information or Items: Extremely sensitive “Confidential Information or Items,” 27 disclosure of which to another Party or Non-Party would create a substantial risk of 1 2.5 Counsel: Outside Counsel of Record (as well as their support staff). 2 2.6 Designating Party: A Party or Non-Party that designates information 3 or items that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as 4 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 5 ONLY.” 6 2.7 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, 7 regardless of the medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained 8 (including, among other things, testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are 9 produced or generated in disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter. 10 2.8 Expert: A person with specialized knowledge or experience in a 11 matter pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to 12 serve as an expert witness or as a consultant in this Action. 13 2.9 House Counsel: Attorneys who are employees of a disclosing entity, 14 e.g. Amazon.com, but no “Attorneys’ Eyes Only” documents shall be disclosed to 15 House Counsel, if any, of the parties to this Action. House Counsel does not include 16 Outside Counsel of Record. 17 2.10 Non-Party: Any natural person, partnership, corporation, association 18 or other legal entity not named as a Party to this action. 19 2.11 Outside Counsel of Record: Attorneys who are not employees of a 20 party to this Action but are retained to represent or advise a party to this Action and 21 have appeared in this Action on behalf of that party or are affiliated with a law firm 22 that has appeared on behalf of that party, and includes support staff. 23 2.12 Party: Any party to this Action, including all of its officers, directors, 24 employees, consultants, retained experts, and Outside Counsel of Record (and their 25 support staffs). 26 2.13 Producing Party: A Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or 27 Discovery Material in this Action. 1 support services (e.g., photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or 2 demonstrations, and organizing, storing, or retrieving data in any form or medium) 3 and their employees and subcontractors. 4 2.15 Protected Material: Any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is 5 designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 6 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” 7 2.16 Receiving Party: A Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery 8 Material from a Producing Party. 9 3. SCOPE 10 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only 11 Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or 12 extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or 13 compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or 14 presentations by Parties, Non-Parties, or their Counsel that might reveal Protected 15 Material. 16 Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the 17 trial judge. This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial. 18 4. DURATION 19 FINAL DISPOSITION of the action is defined as the conclusion of any 20 appellate proceedings, or, if no appeal is taken, when the time for filing of an appeal 21 has run. Except as set forth below, the terms of this protective order apply through 22 FINAL DISPOSITION of the action. The parties may stipulate that they will be 23 contractually bound by the terms of this agreement beyond FINAL DISPOSITION, 24 but will have to file a separate action for enforcement of the agreement once all 25 proceedings in this case are complete. 26 Once a case proceeds to trial, information that was designated as 27 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 1 exhibit at trial becomes public and will be presumptively available to all members of 2 the public, including the press, unless compelling reasons supported by specific 3 factual findings to proceed otherwise are made to the trial judge in advance of the 4 trial. See Kamakana,

(distinguishing “good cause” showing for 5 sealing documents produced in discovery from “compelling reasons” standard when 6 merits-related documents are part of court record). Accordingly, for such materials, 7 the terms of this protective order do not extend beyond the commencement of the 8 trial. 9 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 10 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for 11 Protection. Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for 12 protection under this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific 13 material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must 14 designate for protection only those parts of material, documents, items or oral or 15 written communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, 16 documents, items or communications for which protection is not warranted are not 17 swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order. 18 Mass, indiscriminate or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations 19 that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper 20 purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose 21 unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating 22 Party to sanctions. 23 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it 24 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must 25 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation. 26 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided 27 in this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise 1 under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or 2 produced. 3 Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 4 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic 5 documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial 6 proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend 7 “CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), or “HIGHLY 8 CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” (“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL– 9 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY legend”) to each page that contains protected 10 material. If only a portion of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the 11 Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making 12 appropriate markings in the margins). 13 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for in-person 14 inspection may, but need not, designate them for protection until after the Inspecting 15 Party has indicated which documents it would like copied and produced. Any such 16 inspection may only be conducted by Outside Counsel of Record for the Inspecting 17 Party outside the presence of that Party or its House Counsel. During the inspection 18 and before the designation, the Inspecting Party’s Outside Counsel of Record may 19 not record or photograph any document without the Producing Party’s permission, 20 and all of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed “HIGHLY 21 CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” After the Inspecting Party has 22 identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must 23 determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this 24 Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must 25 affix the “CONFIDENTIAL legend” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 26 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. 27 If only a portion of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing 1 markings in the margins). 2 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identifies 3 the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the 4 deposition all protected testimony. When it is impractical to identify separately each 5 portion of testimony that is entitled to protection, and when it appears that 6 substantial portions of the testimony may qualify for protection, the Party or 7 nonparty that sponsors, offers, or gives the testimony or that claims confidentiality 8 may invoke, on the record before the deposition is concluded or by written 9 communication within 48 hours after the deposition’s conclusion, a right to have up 10 to 30 days to identify the specific portions of the testimony as to which protection is 11 sought and to specify the level of protection being asserted (“CONFIDENTIAL” or 12 HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”), during which thirty- 13 day designation period the entirety of the transcript shall be treated as HIGHLY 14 CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY. Only those portions that are 15 appropriately designated for protection within the 30 days shall be covered by the 16 provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order after the 30-day designation period. 17 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and 18 for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on 19 the exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored, or for 20 electronic files in the file name or accompanying correspondence, the legend 21 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 22 ONLY.” If only a portion or portions of the information warrants protection, the 23 Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s). 24 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent 25 failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive 26 the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. 27 Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable 1 Order. 2 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 3 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a 4 designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s 5 Scheduling Order. 6 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute 7 resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq. 8 6.3 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on 9 the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper 10 purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other 11 parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating 12 Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall 13 continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is 14 entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the 15 challenge. 16 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 17 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that 18 is disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this 19 Action only for prosecuting, defending or attempting to settle this Action. Such 20 Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the 21 conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a 22 Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL 23 DISPOSITION). 24 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a 25 location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons 26 authorized under this Order. 27 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless 1 Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated 2 “CONFIDENTIAL” only to: 3 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as 4 well as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably 5 necessary to disclose the information for this Action; 6 (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of 7 the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action; 8 (c) experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom 9 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the 10 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 11 (d) the court and its personnel; 12 (e) court reporters and their staff; 13 (f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional 14 Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have 15 signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 16 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a 17 custodian or other person who is shown, in written or oral evidence, or foundation 18 laid in deposition testimony, otherwise possesses or knows the information; 19 (h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the 20 Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing party 21 requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit 1 hereto; and (2) they will 22 not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the 23 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise 24 agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed 25 deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may 26 be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except 27 as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and 1 mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions. 2 7.3 Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ 3 EYES ONLY” Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered by the court or 4 permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any 5 information or item designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ 6 EYES ONLY” only to: 7 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record, and employees of 8 the Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the 9 information for this Action; 10 (b) experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom 11 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the 12 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A) prior to receiving 13 “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY materials; provided, 14 however, that before a Receiving Party may disclose, directly or indirectly, any 15 information designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 16 ONLY,” the Receiving Party must email written notice to the Designating Party’s 17 outside counsel of record the following information regarding such expert or 18 consultant: (i) an Executed Exhibit A; (ii) confirmation that the expert or consultant 19 has been advised in writing that his or her disclosure of information designated 20 “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” to the Receiving 21 Party is prohibited; and (iii) the outside consultant’s current curriculum vitae or 22 other description setting forth the person’s name and office address, his or her 23 present employer with job title and job description, any business or personal 24 relationship to any of the Parties (aside from being retained to consult and/or 25 provide testimony in the Action), and a brief job history for the past five years; 26 (c) court and its personnel; 27 (d) court reporters and their staff; 1 (e) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional 2 Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have 3 signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 4 (f) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a 5 custodian or other person who is shown, in written or oral evidence, or foundation 6 laid in deposition testimony, otherwise possesses or knows the information; 7 (g) the Designating party’s own employees, officers and directors, solely 8 as to the Designating party’s own “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEYS’ 9 EYES ONLY” material; 10 (h) during their depositions, third-party witnesses and attorneys for third- 11 party witnesses, in the Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary, provided: 12 (1) no party or nonparty objects to the proposed disclosure to the third-party witness 13 or attorney for the third-party witness; (2) the deposing party requests that the third- 14 party witness sign the form attached as Exhibit 1; (3) prior to any disclosure, the 15 deposing party consults with the Designating Party and counsel participating in the 16 deposition in order to determine whether a party or nonparty objects to the 17 disclosure; and (4) the third-party witness and his or her attorney may not keep any 18 confidential information unless they sign the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to 19 Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered 20 by the court.

26 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED 27 PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION 1 that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as 2 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 3 ONLY,” that Party must: 4 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification 5 shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order; 6 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order 7 to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the 8 subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include 9 a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and 10 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be 11 pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. 12 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with 13 the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this 14 action as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ 15 EYES ONLY” before a determination by the court from which the subpoena or 16 order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The 17 Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that 18 court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions should be construed 19 as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action to disobey a lawful 20 directive from another court.

21 9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE 22 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION 23 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a 24 Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 25 CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” Such information produced by 26 Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief 27 provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be construed as 1 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to 2 produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is 3 subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s 4 confidential information, then the Party shall: 5 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party 6 that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality 7 agreement with a Non-Party; 8 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated 9 Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably 10 specific description of the information requested; and 11 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the 12 Non-Party, if requested. 13 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within 14 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party 15 may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery 16 request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall 17 not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the 18 confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court. 19 Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and 20 expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material. 21 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 22 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed 23 Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this 24 Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in 25 writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts 26 to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or 27 persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, 1 Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

2 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE 3 PROTECTED MATERIAL 4 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain 5 inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, 6 the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil 7 Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever 8 procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production 9 without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and 10 (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a 11 communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work 12 product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated 13 protective order submitted to the court. 14 12. MISCELLANEOUS 15 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of 16 any person to seek its modification by the Court in the future. 17 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this 18 Protective Order, no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to 19 disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this 20 Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any 21 ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order. 22 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any 23 Protected Material must comply with Local Civil Rule 79-5. Protected Material 24 may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the 25 specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party’s request to file Protected Material 26 under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information 27 in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court. 1 13. FINAL DISPOSITION 2 After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 60 3 days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return 4 all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in 5 this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, 6 summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected 7 Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving 8 Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same 9 person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies 10 (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or 11 destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, 12 abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any 13 of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to 14 retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing 15 transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert 16 reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such 17 materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or 18 constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in 19 Section 4 (DURATION). 20 14. VIOLATION 21 Any violation of this Order may be punished by appropriate measures 22 including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary sanctions. 23 /// 24 /// 25 /// 26 27 1 SUBMITED BY: 2 3 4 Under Local Rule 5-4.3.4, Meir J.
