1}/1. INTRODUCTION 2 1.1 Purposes and Limitations. Discovery in this action is likely to involve 3 || production of confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special 4 || protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than 5 || prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby 6 || stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the following Stipulated Protective 7 || Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections 8 || on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from 9 || public disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or items that are 10 || entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. The parties 5 11 || further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated □□ 12 || Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal; 13 || Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and the a 14 || standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file S 15 || material under seal. = 16 1.2. Good Cause Statement. This action is likely to involve trade secrets, a 17 || customer and pricing lists and other valuable research, development, commercial, 18 || financial, technical and/or proprietary information for which special protection 19 || from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecution of this 20 || action is warranted. Such confidential and proprietary materials and information 21 || consist of, among other things, confidential business or financial information, 22 || information regarding confidential business practices, or other confidential 23 || research, development, or commercial information (including information 24 || implicating privacy rights of third parties), information otherwise generally 25 || unavailable to the public, or which may be privileged or otherwise protected from 26 || disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common 27 ||law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt 28 || resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately 17959.1:10672440.2 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

It is the intent of the parties that information will not be designated as 6 || confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good 7 || faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and 8 || there is good cause why it should not be part of the public record of this case. a 10 |} 2.

1|/3. SCOPE 2 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only 3 || Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or 4/|extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or 5||compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or 6 || presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. 7 || Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the trial 8 || judge.

DURATION 5 11 Once a case proceeds to trial, all of the court-filed information to be introduced □□ 12 ||that was previously designated as confidential or maintained pursuant to this 13 || protective order becomes public and will be presumptively available to all members a 14 || of the public, including the press, unless compelling reasons supported by specific S 15 || factual findings to proceed otherwise are made to the trial judge in advance of the = 16 || trial.

Accordingly, the terms of this protective order do not extend 20 || beyond the commencement of the trial. 21 22 || 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 23 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. 24 || Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under 25 this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that 26 || qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for 27 || protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written 28 || communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, items, 17959.1:10672440.2 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
Case 2/P1-cv-09880-ODW-AFM Document 23 Filed 08/26/22 Page6of17 Page ID#:144
1 || or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably 2 || within the ambit of this Order. 3 Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations 4||that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper 5 || purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose 6 || unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating 7 || Party to sanctions. 8 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it 9 || designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must 9 10 || promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation. 5 11 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in □□ 12 ||this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise 13 || stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection a 14 || under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or S 15 || produced. S 16 Designation in conformity with this Order requires: Lu 17 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic 18 || documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial 19 || proceedings), that the Producing Party affix, at a minimum, the legend 20||““CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEY’S EYES ONLY” 21 || (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend’), to each page that contains protected 22 ||material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for 23 || protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) 24 || (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). 25 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection 26 need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated 27 || which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and 28 || before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be 17959.1:10672440.2 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1||}deemed “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEY’S EYES □ □□ ONLY.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and 3 || produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof, 4|| qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the specified 5 || documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each 6 || page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on 7\|a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the 8 || protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). 9 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party 9 10 || identify the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the 5 11 || deposition. □□ 12 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary 13 || and for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place a 14 || on the exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the S 15 || legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information warrants S 16 || protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected Lu 17 || portion(s). 18 5.3. Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent 19 || failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive 20 || the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. 21 || Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable 22 || efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this 23 || Order. 24 5.4 Productions by Third Parties. If a party believes that documents 25 || produced in response to a subpoena to a third party may contain documents which 26||are confidential and proprietary and would be properly designated as 27 || “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEY’S EYES ONLY” such 28 || party may notify the subpoenaing party in writing prior to the designated production 17959.1:10672440.2 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

During such time any party may designate 5||documents provided in response to such subpoena “CONFIDENTIAL” as 6 || appropriate under this protective order. 8 || 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 9 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a 10 ||designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s 5 11 || Scheduling Order. □□ 12 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute 13 | resolution process under Local Rule 37.1, et seq. Any discovery motion must strictly > 14 || comply with the procedures set forth in Local Rules 37-1, 37-2, and 37-3. S 15 6.3. Burden. The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding = 16 ||shall be on the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an in 17 || improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on 18 || other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating 19 || Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is 21 || entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the 22 || challenge. 23 24 || 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 25 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is 26 || disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this 27|| Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action.
