DESIGNATING PRQTECTED MATER]AL 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Desiant'ljina Material for Protection. Each Party or non-party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualities under the appropriate standards A Designating Party must take care to designate for protection only those parts of material, documents items, or oral or written communications that qualify - so that other portions of the material, documents, items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order. Mass, indiscriminate or routinized designations are prohibited Designations that are shown to be clearly unjustified, or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber or retard the case development process, or to impose umiecessary expenses and burdens on other parties), expose the Designating Party to sanctions If it comes to a Party's or a non-party`s attention that information or items that it designated for protection do not qualify for protection at all, or do not qualify for the level of protection initially asserted, that Party or non-party must promptly notify all other parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation 3 srtruLAr"Eo l'aorsc'rtvs christi Wins(on & Strawu LLP 333 Snnfh Grand Avenue, 38th Floor Lus Angeles., CA 90071-1543 \OOO‘--.IO\U'\-h. 10 ll 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 2`1' 28 Case 3:05-cv-01398-.]SW Document 25 Filed 11/21/05 Page 5 of 14 Case 3:05~cv-01396-JSW Document 24 Fi|od 11/17/2005 Page 5 of 15 5.2 Manner and 'l`iming of Designations.

Only those portions of the testimony that are appropriately designated for protection within the 20 days shall be covered by the provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order.

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party's confidentiality designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable substantial unfaimess, unnecessary economic burdens, or a later significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right to challenge a conndentiality designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the original designation is disclosed 6.2 Meet and Cont`er. A Party that elects to initiate a challenge to a Designating Party*s confidentiality designation must do so in good faith and must begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other forms of` conununication are not sufficient) with counsel for the Designating Party. In conferring the challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief that the confidentiality designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party an opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if 6 sriPuLATse raorscrrvs emma Wanston & Strawn LLP 333 Sotlth Grand Avenne, 38£§1 Flonr Los Ang¢lt$.
