August 28, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 32 MINUTE ORDER: The parties have submitted a Stipulated Protective Order for the Courts approval. The Court will enter the parties' proposed Stipulated Protective Order subject to the requirements of Paragraph 2, below. Notwithstanding Paragraph 14.4 of the Stipulated Protective Order, the following provision shall apply:Filing Protected Material. If a party wishes to use "confidential" or "protected" documents or information to support or oppose a motion, the following procedures shall apply. Counsel shall meet and confer before filing documents under seal. During the meet-and-confer process, counsel shall explore the options of removing the confidential designation and/or redacting the protected portions of the document at issue. To the extent possible, counsel shall submit, along with any document filed under seal, a stipulation and proposed order reciting the reasons for sealing the document. See Local Civil Rule 5(g); Kamakana v. City & Cty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172 (9th Cir. 2006); Foltz v. State Farm Mut. Auto. Inc. Co., 331 F.3d 1122 (9th Cir. 2003). If counsel cannot reach agreement, then a properly noted motion to seal must be filed contemporaneously with the sealed document. If the party wishing to submit the material is not the party designating the material as confidential, the party wishing to submit the material shall provide at least seven (7) days' notice to the other party(ies), so that a motion to seal, if necessary, may be prepared by the designating party and filed at the same time as the material is submitted under seal to the Court. Counsel shall use the Case Management and Electronic Case Files ("CM/ECF") system to present materials under seal; counsel shall not provide original sealed materials to chambers and shall not provide working copies to chambers unless the materials are voluminous and working copies would otherwise be required under Local Civil Rule 10(e)(9). In association with any stipulation or motion to seal, the parties shall bring to the Court's attention the requested disposition of the confidential document in the event the stipulation or motion to seal is denied. Authorized by Judge Thomas S. Zilly. (MW)
