19 Defendants 20 21 22 23 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. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth 11 in Section 8.4, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to 12 file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the 13 procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party 14 seeks permission from the court to file material under seal. 15 B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT. 16 This action is likely to involve private medical information, trade secrets, 17 customer and pricing lists and other valuable research, development, commercial, 18 financial, technical and/or proprietary information for which special protection from 19 public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecution of this action 20 is warranted. Such confidential and proprietary materials and information consist of, 21 among other things, the names of absent class members who underwent genital 22 enlargement surgery, confidential business or financial information, information 23 regarding confidential business practices, confidential research, development, and 24 commercial information involving the design and development of the medical device 25 at issue and including information implicating privacy rights of third parties, 26 information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, and information that may 27 be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, 1 court rules, case decisions, or common law. Significant harm will result to the parties 2 and nonparties if these specific categories of documents and related testimony are not 3 protected from public disclosure. Specifically, the parties or nonparties may suffer 4 loss of stature and business advantage in their competitive industries if procedures 5 and policies that are currently protected as proprietary information and/or trade 6 secrets become available to the public forum. Some of the parties involved are 7 private companies and their financials are not currently known or otherwise 8 accessible by their respective competitors or the public. Protection of these 9 procedures, policies, and financial information is necessary to ensure that such trade 10 information and financials do not lose the confidentiality and protection they 11 currently maintain: research developments, product iterations and changes, and 12 commercial information later subject to reduction to patent. The parties each rely on 13 such sensitive information to remain competitive with regard to their respective 14 businesses and will be prejudiced if their sensitive internal information is disclosed 15 to the public, including competitors. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of 16 information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of 17 discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties are entitled to keep 18 confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of 19 such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling 20 at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such 21 information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that information 22 will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so 23 designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, 24 non-public manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part of the public 25 record of this case. 26 2. DEFINITIONS 27 2.1 Action: this pending federal law suit. 1 2.2 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the designation 2 of information or items under this Order. 3 2.3 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information (regardless of 4 how it is generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for 5 protection under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), and as specified above in 6 the Good Cause Statement. 7 2.4 Counsel: Outside Counsel of Record and House Counsel (as well as 8 their support staff). 9 2.5 Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates information or 10 items that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as 11 “CONFIDENTIAL.” 12 2.6 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless 13 of the medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, 14 among other things, testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced or 15 generated in disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter. 16 2.7 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter 17 pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as 18 an expert witness or as a consultant in this Action. 19 2.8 House Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a party to this Action 20 or outside counsel other than Outside Counsel of Record retained by a party to this 21 action to provide on-demand in-house counsel services. House Counsel does not 22 include any other outside counsel. 23 2.9 Non-Party: any natural person, partnership, corporation, association, or 24 other legal entity not named as a Party to this action. 25 2.10 Outside Counsel of Record: attorneys who are not employees of a party 26 to this Action but are retained to represent or advise a party to this Action and have 27 1 appeared in this Action on behalf of that party or are affiliated with a law firm that 2 has appeared on behalf of that party, including support staff. 3 2.11 Party: any party to this Action, including all of its officers, directors, 4 employees, consultants, retained experts, and Outside Counsel of Record (and their 5 support staffs). 6 2.12 Producing Party: a Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or 7 Discovery Material in this Action. 8 2.13 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation support 9 services (e.g., photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or 10 demonstrations, and organizing, storing, or retrieving data in any form or medium) 11 and their employees and subcontractors. 12 2.14 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is 13 designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” 14 2.15 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material 15 from a Producing Party. 16 3. SCOPE 17 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only 18 Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or 19 extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or 20 compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or 21 presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. 22 Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the 23 trial judge. This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial. 24 4. DURATION 25 Once a case proceeds to trial, all of the court-filed information to be 26 introduced that was previously designated as confidential or maintained pursuant to 27 this protective order becomes public and will be presumptively available to all 1 members of the public, including the press, unless compelling reasons supported by 2 specific factual findings to proceed otherwise are made to the trial judge in advance 3 of the trial. See Kamakana v. City and Cty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1180-81 4 (9th Cir. 2006) (distinguishing “good cause” showing for sealing documents 5 produced in discovery from “compelling reasons” standard when merits-related 6 documents are part of court record). Accordingly, the terms of this protective order 7 do not extend beyond the commencement of the trial. 8 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 9 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. 10 Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under 11 this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that 12 qualifies under the appropriate standards. 13 Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations 14 that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper 15 purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose 16 unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating 17 Party to sanctions. 18 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it 19 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must 20 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation. 21 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in 22 this Order, or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material 23 that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so designated before 24 the material is disclosed or produced. 25 Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 26 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, 27 but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that 1 the Producing Party affix, at a minimum, the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” 2 (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to the protected document or material. 3 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identify the 4 Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the deposition. 5 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for 6 any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the 7 exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the legend 8 “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information warrants 9 protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected 10 portion(s). 11 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent 12 failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive 13 the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. 14 Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable 15 efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this 16 17 Order. 18 6. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION FOR ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY 19 6.1. If the Disclosing Party believes in good faith that particular 20 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION involves a trade secret, the disclosure of which 21 would cause irreparable harm to its business, the disclosing party may use 22 the designation: “CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION FOR ATTORNEYS’ 23 24 EYES ONLY,” or the equivalent. The term “CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 25 FOR ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” is used hereinafter to refer to 26 27 1 CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION that has been so designated pursuant to this 2 Protective Order. 3 7. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 4 7.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a 5 designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s 6 Scheduling Order. 7 7.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute 8 resolution process under Local Rule 37-1, et seq. Any discovery motion must strictly 9 comply with the procedures set forth in Local Rules 37-1, 37-2, and 37-3. 10 7.3 Burden. The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding 11 shall be on the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an 12 improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on 13 other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating 14 Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall 15 continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is 16 entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the 17 challenge. 18 8. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIALS 19 8.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is 20 disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this 21 Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such 22 Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the 23 conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a 24 Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 14 below (FINAL 25

DISPOSITION).

26 27 1 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a 2 location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons 3 authorized under this Order. 4 8.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless 5 otherwise ordered by the Court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a 6 Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated 7 “CONFIDENTIAL” only to: 8 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well as 9 employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to 10 disclose the information for this Action; 11 (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the 12 Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action; 13 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom 14 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the 15 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 16 (d) the Court and its personnel; 17 (e) court reporters and their staff; 18 (f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional 19 Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have 20 signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 21 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a 22 custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information; 23 (h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the 24 Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing party 25 requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit A hereto; and (2) they 26 will not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the 27 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise 1 agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the Court. Pages of transcribed 2 deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may 3 be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except 4 as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and 5 (i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, 6 mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions. 7 8.3 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION FOR ATTORNEYS’ 8 EYES ONLY” Information or Items. Except upon further Order of the Court, or by 9 express written consent of counsel for the disclosing party, disclosure of documents, 10 things and testimony designated CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION FOR 11 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY, and any information contained therein, shall be 12 restricted by the receiving party solely to: 13 (a) the Court and its personnel; 14 (b) counsel of record, including employees of counsel of record (such as 15 paralegals, clerks, secretaries, associates, and partners) actively engaged in 16 this litigation; 17 (c) House Counsel of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably 18 necessary for this Action; 19 (d) experts (as defined in this Order) retained by the Parties for the purposes 20 of this litigation, either personal or corporate (and the professional secretarial and 21 clerical staff of such entities) and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and 22 Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 23 (e) court reporters and their staff; 24 (f) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the 25 Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing party 26 requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit A hereto; and (2) they 27 will not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the 1 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise 2 agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the Court. Pages of transcribed 3 deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may 4 be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except 5 as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; 6 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a 7 custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information; and 8 (h) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel in the 9 context of confidential settlement discussions. 10 8.4 Filing of Confidential Information. Any Party reasonably and in good faith 11 wishing to file “CONFIDENTIAL” Information shall follow the procedure set forth 12 in Local Rule 79-5 for filing under seal. 13 8.5 Permissible Redactions. In order to protect against unauthorized disclosure 14 of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information, the Designating Party may redact portions of a 15 document, but only to the extent reasonably necessary to prevent disclosure of the 16 following categories of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information: (i) names and information 17 that would identify clinical trial subjects or patients referred to in adverse reaction 18 reports, product experience reports, and consumer complaints, except for patient 19 identifiers (e.g., randomly assigned numeric or alphanumeric identifiers) that do not 20 reveal the patient’s identity, date of birth, address or other personal identifying 21 information; (ii) home addresses of individuals; (iii) DEA numbers of medical 22 doctors; (iv) personal medical or family information, financial account numbers, or 23 social security numbers not the focus of the request, which is necessary to be 24 protected to prevent undue annoyance, embarrassment, or oppression; (v) highly 25 confidential information identifying proprietary aspects of the design and 26 manufacturing process that the Designating Party reasonably believes in good faith 27 is non-relevant and would, if disclosed, cause economic harm to the competitive 1 position of the Designating Party; (vi) commercially sensitive information reflecting 2 pricing or costs in commercial contracts that a Designating Party reasonably believes 3 in good faith is non-relevant and would, if disclosed, cause economic harm to the 4 competitive position of the Designating Party; and (vii) identifying information 5 about products and compounds that are not the subject of this Litigation and that a 6 Designating Party reasonably believes in good faith is non-relevant. A Designating 7 Party shall, within forty-two (42) days of said production, provide a redaction log 8 for “CONFIDENTIAL” Information that will identify by Bates number the 9 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information that has been redacted from the identified 10 document and state the above-listed basis for redaction with sufficient particularity 11 to allow the Receiving Party to assess the type of information redacted and the reason 12 for it and to challenge the redaction. 13 8.6 Privilege Logs. The Parties shall comply with the Federal Rules of Civil 14 Procedure (unless otherwise ordered by the Court) with regard to the production of 15 privilege logs as set forth more fully below. 16 The Party claiming a privilege shall produce a privilege log to the Receiving 17 Party. The privilege log shall list the privilege or privileges asserted with respect to 18 each withheld document and describe the document with sufficient particularity to 19 allow the Receiving Party to assess the claim of privilege but without revealing 20 privileged information. The privilege log shall also include the date the document 21 was prepared, the person or persons who prepared the document, and the person or 22 persons to whom the document was addressed, directly and by carbon copy or blind 23 copy. To the extent a Producing Party seeks to use categorical logs in lieu of 24 providing the information above, the Producing Party shall initiate a meet and confer 25 with the Requesting Party. 26 The Party may seek the Court’s assistance through in camera review in 27 assessing claims of privilege. 1 (a) Materials Not Required to be Logged. No privilege log entries shall be 2 required as to the following categories of materials and any applicable privilege or 3 protection shall be preserved even if such materials are not listed on a Producing 4 Party’s log: 5 i. Privileged communications exclusively between a defendant and 6 its Counsel after May 19, 2022 (the date this action was filed); 7 ii. Privileged communications exclusively between a plaintiff and 8 his Counsel on or after the date that plaintiff retained counsel; 9 iii. Work product created by Counsel representing any Party in this 10 Litigation; 11 iv. Communications between a Party’s counsel and that Party’s 12 consulting expert(s); 13 v. Internal communications within a law firm; and 14 vi. Privilege redactions made on the face of produced documents, 15 provided that the unredacted portion provides information sufficient to allow the 16 Receiving Party to assess the claim of privilege. 17 (b) Logging Email Threads. For purposes of creation of a privilege log, a 18 Party need include only one entry on the log to identify withheld privileged emails 19 that constitute an uninterrupted dialogue between or among individuals; provided, 20 however, that disclosure must be made that the emails are part of an uninterrupted 21 privileged dialogue. Moreover, the beginning and ending dates and times (as noted 22 on the emails) of the dialogue and the number of emails within the dialogue must be 23 disclosed, in addition to other requisite privilege log disclosure referenced above, 24 including the names of all of the recipients of the communications. 25 (c) Time for Serving Privilege Log. A privilege log shall be served by any 26 Party withholding responsive documents on the basis of privilege or work product 27 1 protection on a rolling basis within forty-nine (49) days after the production from 2 which it is withheld. 3 8.7 Challenging Redactions and Privilege. If the Requesting Party has a good- 4 faith basis for challenging the redaction or privilege designation, counsel for the 5 Parties shall initially attempt to resolve the issue through discussions. The 6 Challenging Party must give the Designating Party an opportunity to review the 7 withheld or redacted material and meet and confer. Absent good cause, no more 8 than fifty (50) documents shall be challenged at a time, and only one challenge may 9 be sent within a seven (7) day period, which shall concisely explain in writing the 10 basis of the challenge(s). The withholding Party shall within thirty (30) days of 11 receiving such written notice of the challenge either explain in writing the basis of 12 the withholding or redaction or produce or unredact the document. This period and 13 number and timing of documents challenged may be modified by agreement of the 14 Parties. If these discussions prove unsuccessful, counsel may move for a ruling 15 pursuant to the process set forth in Local Rule 37, which may require this Court’s in 16 camera inspection of a document, on the issue of whether certain information is 17 entitled to redaction or privilege. The party asserting privilege or confidentiality 18 shall have the burden of proof on such motion to establish the propriety of its 19 privilege designation or redaction. 20 The fact that a Party produces a document with or without redactions shall not 21 constitute an admission or concession that all portions of the document are or are not 22 relevant to claims or defenses in the Litigation. 23 9. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED 24 PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION 25 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation 26 that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as 27 “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must: 1 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall 2 include a copy of the subpoena or court order; 3 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to 4 issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena 5 or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of 6 this Stipulated Protective Order; and 7 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued 8 by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. 9 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with 10 the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this 11 action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the 12 subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s 13 permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking 14 protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions 15 should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action 16 to disobey a lawful directive from another court. 17 10. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE 18 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION 19 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non- 20 Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information 21 produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the 22 remedies and relief provided by this Order. 23 Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party 24 from seeking additional protections. 25 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to 26 produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is 27 1 subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s 2 confidential information, then the Party shall: 3 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that 4 some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement 5 with a Non-Party; 6 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective 7 Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific 8 description of the information requested; and 9 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party, 10 if requested. 11 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this Court within 14 12 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party 13 may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery 14 request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall 15 not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the 16 confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the Court. 17 Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense 18 of seeking protection in this Court of its Protected Material. 19 11. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 20 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed 21 Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this 22 Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in 23 writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts 24 to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person 25 or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this 26 Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and 27 Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 1 12. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR 2 OTHERWISE PROTECTED MATERIAL 3 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain 4 inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, 5 the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil 6 Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure 7 may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior 8 privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the 9 parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or 10 information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the 11 parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted 12 to the Court. 13 13. MISCELLANEOUS 14 13.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any 15 person to seek its modification by the Court in the future. 16 13.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this 17 Protective Order, no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to 18 disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this 19 Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any 20 ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order. 21 13.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any 22 Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may 23 only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the 24 specific Protected Material at issue; good cause must be shown in the request to file 25 under seal. If a Party’s request to file Protected Material under seal is denied by the 26 Court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in the public record unless 27 otherwise instructed by the Court. 1 14. FINAL DISPOSITION 2 After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in Section 2.1, 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 // 21 // 22 // 23 // 24 // 25 // 26 // 27 // 1 15. VIOLATION OF ORDER 2 Any violation of this Order may be punished by any and all appropriate 3 measures including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary 4 sanctions. 5 IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD. 6 7 DATED: August 3, 2023
