STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

KRISTEN L. MIX, Magistrate Judge.

Upon a showing of good cause in support of the entry of a protective order to protect the discovery and dissemination of confidential and proprietary information or information which will improperly annoy, embarrass, oppress, or unduly burden any party, witness, or person providing discovery or to whom discovery pertains in this case, IT IS ORDERED:

1. This Protective Order shall apply to all documents, materials, and information, including without limitation, documents produced, answers to interrogatories, responses to requests for admission, deposition testimony, and other information disclosed pursuant to the disclosure or discovery duties created by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

2. As used in this Protective Order, the term "document" is defined as provided in Fed. R. Civ. P. 34(a). A draft or non-identical copy is a separate document within the meaning of this term.

3. Information designated "CONFIDENTIAL" shall be information that is confidential, proprietary, personal financial information, and/or implicates common law and statutory privacy interests of the parties to this litigation or any other person entitled to protection under Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c) including, without limitation, personal financial information, account information, private social security numbers, and other private identifying information. CONFIDENTIAL information also includes (1) any information copied or extracted from information designated CONFIDENTIAL; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of CONFIDENTIAL information; (3) any testimony, conversations, or presentations by the parties or their counsel that might reveal CONFIDENTIAL information.

4. CONFIDENTIAL information shall not be disclosed or used for any purpose except the preparation and trial of this case.

5. CONFIDENTIAL documents, materials, and information (collectively "CONFIDENTIAL information") shall not, without the consent of the party producing it or further Order of the Court, be disclosed except that such information may be disclosed to:

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 copy of this Protective Order and obtain from such person a written acknowledgment (in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A) stating that he or she has read this Protective Order and agrees to be bound by its provisions. All such written acknowledgments shall be retained by counsel and shall be subject to in camera review by the Court if good cause for review is demonstrated by opposing counsel.

7. Documents are designated as CONFIDENTIAL by placing or affixing on them (in a manner that will not interfere with their legibility) the following or other appropriate notice: "CONFIDENTIAL."

8. 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 whenever possible, but a party may designate portions of depositions as CONFIDENTIAL after transcription, provided written notice of the designation is promptly given to all counsel of record within thirty (30) days after notice by the court reporter of the completion of the transcript.

9. An inadvertent failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the designating party's right to secure protection under this Protective Order for such material if the designating party timely corrects the designation within seven (7) days of receiving notice of the inadvertent failure to designate qualified information. Upon such timely correction of a designation, the receiving party must make reasonable efforts to assure the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Protective Order.

10. The terms of this Protective Order are applicable to information produced by a non-party in this action and designated as CONFIDENTIAL. Such information produced by non-parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Protective Order. Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a non-party from seeking additional protections.

11. A party may object to the designation of particular CONFIDENTIAL information by giving written notice to the party designating the disputed information. The written notice shall identify the information to which the objection is made. If the parties cannot resolve the objection within fourteen (14) days after the time the notice is received, it shall be the obligation of the party designating the information as CONFIDENTIAL to bring the dispute to the Court's attention according to the Discovery Dispute Hearing Procedures set forth in the Honorable Magistrate Judge Kristen L. Mix's Practice Standards. If the dispute is brought to the Court's attention within seven (7) days of the parties' inability to resolve the objection, the disputed information shall be treated as CONFIDENTIAL under the terms of this Protective Order until the Court rules on the dispute. If the designating party fails to bring the dispute to the Court's attention within the prescribed time, the disputed information shall lose its designation as CONFIDENTIAL and shall not thereafter be treated as CONFIDENTIAL in accordance with this Protective Order. In connection with a dispute brought to the Court's attention under this provision, the party designating the information as CONFIDENTIAL shall bear the burden of establishing that good cause exists for the disputed information to be treated as CONFIDENTIAL.

12. Documents, materials, information, interrogatory answers, and depositions designated as CONFIDENTIAL, when filed with pleadings or offered as evidence at any hearing or trial, shall be delivered sealed to the Clerk of the Court, and shall not be available for public inspection.

13. Within sixty (60) days after the final termination of this litigation, unless other arrangements are agreed upon, each document and all copies thereof that have been designated as CONFIDENTIAL shall be returned to the party that designated it CONFIDENTIAL, or the parties may elect to destroy CONFIDENTIAL documents. Where the parties agree to destroy CONFIDENTIAL documents, the destroying party shall provide all parties with an affidavit confirming the destruction.

14. The termination of proceedings in this action shall not thereafter relieve the parties from the obligation of maintaining the confidentiality of the documents, materials, and information designated as "CONFIDENTIAL" that are received pursuant to this Protective Order.

15. If a receiving party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed CONFIDENTIAL information to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under the order, the receiving party must immediately (a) notify in writing the designating party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the CONFIDENTIAL material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Protective Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the "Acknowledgement and Agreement to be Bound" that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

16. When a producing party gives notice to receiving parties that certain inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the obligations of the receiving parties are those set forth in Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(b)(5)(b).

17. This Protective Order may be modified by the Court at any time for good cause shown following notice to all parties and an opportunity for them to be heard.

SO ORDERED.
