the discovery and dissemination of con?dential information, including sensitive personal
information relating to a victim of sexual abuse, copyright or trade secrets, commercially
sensitive information, or proprietary information.
I. Purposes And Limitations
The Parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on
all disclosures during discovery. Designations under this Order shall be made Sparingly, with
care, and shall not be made absent a good faith belief that the designated material satis?es the
criteria set forth herein. If it comes to a Designating Party?s attention that designated material
does not qualify for protection at all, or does not qualify for the level of protection initially
asserted, the Designating Party must notify all other parties that it is withdrawing or
changing the designation.
IT IS ORDERED:

party producing it or further Order of the Court, be disclosed except that such

working on this case whose assistance is required by said attorneys in the
preparation for trial, at trial, or at other proceedings in this case;

proceeding, to the extent such disclosure is necessary for preparation, trial
or other proceedings in this case;
6. the Cetut and its employees (?Court Personnel?) in this case;

to the conduct of this actiOn;
g. deponents, witnesses, or potential witnesses;

of competent jurisdiction.
6. Prior to disclosing any CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION to any person
listed above (other than counsel, persons employed by counsel, Court
Personnel and stenographic reporters), counsel shall provide such person with
a cepy of this Protective Order and obtain from such person a written
acknowledgment stating that he or she has read this Protective Order and

retained by counsel and shall be subject to in camera review by the Court if
good cause for review is demonstrated by opposing counsel.

appropriate notice: Discovery material designated
CONFIDENTIAL shall be identi?ed by Bates number. To the extent practical,
the respective legend shall be placed near the Bates number.
8. Designation of a document as CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION shall
constitute a representation that such document has been reviewed by an
attorney for the designating party, that there is a valid and good faith basis for
such designation, made at the time of disclosure or production to the receiving
party, and that disclosure of such information to persons other than those
permitted access to such material Would cause a privacy harm to the
designating party.
9. Whenever a deposition involves the disclosure of CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION, the deposition or portions thereof shall be designated as
CONFIDENTIAL and shall be subject to the provisions of this Protective
Order. Such designation shall be made on the record during the deposition

11. Challenging Designations Of Protected Material
(21) A Party shall not be obligated to challenge the propriety of any designation of
Discovery Material under this Order at the time the designation is made, and a
failure to do so shall not preclude a subsequent challenge thereto. Moreover,
failure to challenge the designation of any Discovery Material as
not in any way constitute an admission that such material
centains any competitively sensitive inferrnation, trade secret information, or
other protectable material.
In the event that counsel for the Party receiving Protected Material objects
to the CONFIDENTIAL designation of any or all such items, said counsel shall
provide the Producing Party and, if different, the Designating Party written notice
of, and the basis for, such objections. The Parties will use their best efforts to
resolve such objections among themselves. Should the Receiving Party, the
Producing Party and, if different, the Designating Party be unable to resolve the

to the propriety of the designation. The Designating Party will c00perate in
obtaining a prompt hearing with respect thereto. Pending a resolution, the
discovery material in question shall continue to be treated as Protected Material as
provided hereunder. The burden of proving that Discovery Material is preperly
designated shall at all times remain with the Designating Party.

agree that the Producing Party may retroactively apply the correct designation. If a

Protected Material according to the retroactive designation, including undertaking
