(now known 4 as Amazon.com Services LLC) and Amazon.com Services LLC (“Defendants”) (collectively, the 5 “Parties”), by and through their respective undersigned counsel of record, that in order to facilitate the 6 exchange of information and documents which may be subject to confidentiality limitations on 7 disclosure due to federal laws, state laws, and privacy rights, the Parties respectfully request that the 8 Court sign and enter the [Proposed] Order following this Stipulated Protective Order to govern the 9 production of documents and the conduct of discovery in this action. 10 1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS 11 Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of confidential, 12 proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public disclosure and from use 13 for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. Accordingly, the Parties 14 hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The Parties 15 acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to 16 discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited 17 information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. 18 The Parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective 19 Order does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal; Local Rule 141 sets forth the 20 procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission 21 from the court to file material under seal. Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or 22 otherwise protectable in its entirety will not be filed entirely under seal if the confidential portions can 23 be redacted. If 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 be filed. Any 25 application that seeks to file documents under seal in their entirety should include an explanation of 26 why redaction is not feasible. 27 28 2 This action is likely to involve valuable confidential, proprietary and/or private information for 3 which special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecution 4 of this litigation is warranted. Such confidential and proprietary materials and information consist of, 5 among other things, confidential business information, information regarding confidential business 6 practices, or other confidential commercial information (including information implicating the privacy 7 rights of third parties), contact information and/or personal identifying information (including SSNs) 8 of third parties, information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or which may be privileged 9 or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or 10 common law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of 11 disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties are 12 entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such 13 material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of the 14 litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is justified in this matter. 15 It is the intent of the parties that information will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons 16 and that nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a 17 confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part of the public record 18 of this case. 19 3. DEFINITIONS 20 3.1 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the designation of information 21 or items under this Order. 22 3.2 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information (regardless of how it is 23 generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for protection under Federal Rule of 24 Civil Procedure 26(c), or that contain personal identifying or private information, or that contain 25 information received in confidence from third parties that is produced in this Action and designated as 26 “CONFIDENTIAL” OR “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” 27 28 2 sensitive “Confidential Information or Items,” disclosure of which to another Party or Non-Party would 3 create a substantial risk of serious harm that could not be avoided by less restrictive means. 4 3.4 Counsel (without qualifier): Outside Counsel of Record and House Counsel (as well 5 as their support staff). 6 3.5 Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates information or items that it 7 produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as “CONFIDENTIAL.” 8 3.6 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless of the medium 9 or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, among other things, testimony, 10 transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced or generated in disclosures or responses to discovery 11 in this matter. 12 3.7 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter pertinent to the 13 litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as an expert witness or as a consultant 14 in this action. 15 3.8 House Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a party to this action. House Counsel 16 does not include Outside Counsel of Record or any other outside counsel. 17 3.9 Non-Party: any natural person, partnership, corporation, association, or other legal 18 entity not named as a Party to this action. 19 3.10 Outside Counsel of Record: attorneys who are not employees of a party to this action 20 but are retained to represent or advise a party to this action and have appeared in this action on behalf 21 of that party or are affiliated with a law firm which has appeared on behalf of that party. 22 3.11 Party: any party to this action, including all of its officers, directors, employees, 23 consultants, retained experts, and Outside Counsel of Record (and their support staffs). 24 3.12 Producing Party: a Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or Discovery Material 25 in this action. 26 3.13 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation support services (e.g., 27 photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or demonstrations, and organizing, storing, 28 or retrieving data in any form or medium) and their employees and subcontractors. 2 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” 3 3.15 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material from a 4 Producing Party. 5 4. SCOPE 6 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only Protected Material (as 7 defined above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, 8 excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or 9 presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. However, the 10 protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order do not cover the following information: (a) any 11 information that is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to a Receiving Party or becomes part 12 of the public domain after its disclosure to a Receiving Party as a result of publication not involving a 13 violation of this Order, including becoming part of the public record through trial or otherwise; and (b) 14 any information known to the Receiving Party prior to the disclosure or obtained by the Receiving 15 Party after the disclosure from a source who obtained the information lawfully and under no obligation 16 of confidentiality to the Designating Party. Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by 17 a separate agreement or order. 18 5. DURATION 19 Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by this 20 Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court order 21 otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and 22 defenses in this action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion 23 and exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this action, including the time 24 limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time pursuant to applicable law. 25 6. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 26 6.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each Party 27 or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take care to 28 limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. The 2 or written communications that qualify. Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are 3 prohibited. Designations that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an 4 improper purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber or retard the case development process or to impose 5 unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) expose the Designating Party to sanctions. 6 If the Designating Party learns that information or items that it designated for protection do not 7 qualify for protection, that Designating Party must promptly notify all other Parties that it is 8 withdrawing the mistaken designation. 9 6.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order (see, 10 e.g., second paragraph of Section 6.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or 11 Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so designated before 12 the material is disclosed or produced. 13 Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 14 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, but 15 excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party affix 16 the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” 17 (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”) to each page that contains protected material. If only a 18 portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must 19 clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). 20 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for inspection need 21 not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which material it would 22 like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all the material made 23 available for inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 24 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied 25 and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for 26 protection under this Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party 27 must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL” legend to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a 28 2 clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). 3 (b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, that 4 the Designating Party shall either (1) identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, 5 or other proceeding, all protected testimony, or (2) designate the entirety of the testimony as 6 “confidential” (before the proceedings is concluded) with the right to identify more specific portions 7 of the testimony as to which protection is sought within 30 days following receipt of the deposition 8 transcript. 9 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any other 10 tangible items, that the Producing Party shall affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the container 11 or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 12 CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” If only a portion or portions of the information 13 or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected 14 portion(s). 15 6.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to 16 designate qualified information or items does not waive the Designating Party’s right to secure 17 protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving 18 Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the 19 provisions of this Order. The Receiving Party shall also promptly destroy or return the inadvertently 20 produced material, and all copies thereof, and shall retain only the materials designated as 21 “confidential.” 22 7. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 23 7.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of 24 confidentiality at any time that is consistent with any applicable Scheduling Order. Unless a prompt 25 challenge to a Designating Party’s confidentiality designation is necessary to avoid substantial 26 unfairness, unnecessary economic burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party 27 does not waive its right to challenge a confidentiality designation by electing not to mount a challenge 28 promptly after the original designation is disclosed. 2 and shall appropriately meet and confer in compliance with Local Rule 251. To avoid ambiguity as to 3 whether a challenge has been made, the Challenging Party must provide written notice of each 4 designation it is challenging and the basis for each challenge, and must recite that the challenge to 5 confidentiality is being made in accordance with this specific paragraph of the Protective Order. The 6 Parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith and must begin the process by conferring 7 directly (including voice–to-voice dialogue, if feasible) within 14 calendar days of the date of service 8 of notice. In conferring, the Challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief that the 9 confidentiality designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party an opportunity to 10 review the designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if no change in designation is 11 offered, to explain the basis for the chosen designation. The ultimate burden of persuasion in any 12 challenge is on the Designating Party. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the 13 challenge process only if it has engaged in this meet and confer process first or establishes that the 14 Designating Party is unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in a timely manner. 15 7.3 Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court 16 intervention, the Designating Party shall file and serve a motion to retain confidentiality (and in 17 compliance with Local Rule 141, if applicable) within 30 calendar days of the initial notice of challenge 18 or within 21 calendar days of the Parties agreeing that the meet and confer process will not resolve 19 their dispute, whichever is later. Each such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration 20 affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the 21 preceding paragraph and by Local Rule 251. Failure by the Designating Party to make such a motion 22 including the required declaration within 30 calendar days (or 21 calendar days, if applicable) shall 23 automatically waive the confidentiality designation for each challenged designation. In addition, the 24 Challenging Party may file a motion challenging a confidentiality designation at any time if there is 25 good cause for doing so, including a challenge to the designation of a deposition transcript or any 26 portions thereof. Any motion brought pursuant to this provision must be accompanied by a competent 27 declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed by 28 the preceding paragraph. The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the 2 impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other Parties) may expose the Challenging Party to 3 sanctions. Unless and until the Designating Party has waived the confidentiality designation by failing 4 to file a motion to retain confidentiality as described above, all Parties shall continue to afford the 5 material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Designating Party’s 6 designation until the court rules on the challenge. Maintaining a confidential designation without just 7 cause or for an improper purpose may expose the Designating Party to sanctions. 8 8. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 9 8.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed or 10 produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this case only for prosecuting, 11 defending, or attempting to settle this litigation, and for no other purposes and no other client. Such 12 Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the conditions 13 described in this Order. When the litigation has been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with 14 the provisions of Section 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION). 15 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location and in a 16 secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under this Order. 17 8.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 18 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered by the court or 19 permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any information or item 20 designated “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” 21 only to: 22 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this action, as well as 23 employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the 24 information for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be 25 Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A; 26 (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the 27 Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the 28 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 2 for this litigation and (ii) who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” 3 (Exhibit A); 4 (d) the Court and its personnel; 5 (e) court reporters and their staff, professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, 6 and Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have 7 signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 8 (f) during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is 9 reasonably necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” 10 (Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the Court. Pages of 11 transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material must be 12 separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted under 13 this Stipulated Protective Order. 14 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a custodian 15 or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information. 16 (h) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, mutually 17 agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions. 18 9. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER 19 LITIGATION 20 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that compels 21 disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 22 CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” that Party must: 23 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include 24 a copy of the subpoena or court order; 25 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to issue 26 in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or order is subject to this 27 Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and 28 2 Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. 3 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the subpoena or 4 court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” or 5 “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” before a determination by the Court 6 from which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s 7 permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that 8 court of its confidential material – and nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing 9 or encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to disobey a lawful directive from another court. 10 10. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN 11 THIS LITIGATION 12 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non- Party 13 in this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ 14 EYES ONLY.” Such information produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is 15 protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be 16 construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections. 17 (b) If a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce a Non-Party’s 18 confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement with or duty to the 19 Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall: 20 1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that 21 some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party; 22 2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective 23 Order in this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of the 24 information requested; and 25 3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non- 26 Party. 27 (c) If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this Court within 28 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may produce the 2 seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession or 3 control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by 4 the Court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense of 5 seeking protection in this Court of its Protected Material. 6 11. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 7 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected 8 Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated Protective Order, 9 the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized 10 disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) 11 inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this 12 Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be 13 Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 14 12. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED 15 MATERIAL 16 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain inadvertently produced 17 material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties 18 are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to 19 modify whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production 20 without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), disclosure 21 (including production) of information that a Party or Non-Party later claims should not have been 22 disclosed because of a privilege, including but not limited to the attorney-client privilege or work 23 product doctrine, shall not by itself constitute a waiver of any claim of attorney-client privilege, 24 attorney work product, or other ground for withholding production as to which the Producing Party 25 would be entitled in this Action or any other federal or state proceeding. Pursuant to Federal Rule of 26 Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B) and Federal Rule of Evidence 502(e), if the Receiving Party reasonably 27 believes that such information has been inadvertently disclosed or produced to it, it shall promptly 28 notify the Producing Party and sequester such information until instructions as to disposition are 2 itself constitute a waiver of any claim of attorney-client privilege, attorney work product, or other 3 ground for withholding production as to which the Producing Party would be entitled in this Action or 4 any other federal or state proceeding. 5 13. MISCELLANEOUS 6 13.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person to seek 7 its modification by the court in the future. 8 13.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective Order 9 no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any information 10 or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives 11 any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective 12 Order. 13 13.3 Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the Designating Party or 14 a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in the public 15 record in this action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected Material 16 must comply with Local Rule 141. Protected Material may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court 17 order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at issue. Pursuant to Local Rule 141, a 18 sealing order will issue only upon a request establishing that the Protected Material at issue is 19 privileged, protectable as a trade secret, or otherwise entitled to protection under the law. If a Receiving 20 Party's request to file Protected Material under seal pursuant to Local Rule is denied by the Court, then 21 the Receiving Party may file the information in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the 22 Court. 23 14. FINAL DISPOSITION 24 Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined in paragraph 4, each 25 Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As 26 used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, 27 summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether the 28 Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a written certification to 2 deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned 3 or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, 4 compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. 5 Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion 6 papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial 7 exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such 8 materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected 9 Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (for the duration of 1 year). 10 IT IS SO STIPULATED. 11 12 Dated: August 3, 2022 BRADLEY J.
