Now, therefore, it is ORDERED that:
1. This Protective Order applies to all correspondence between the United States
Attorney's Office and the Intervenors, including any attachments thereto, that was the subject

CONFIDENTIAL - SUBJECT TO STIPULATION AND ORDER OF
CONFIDENTIALITY.
The marking shall be affixed in such a manner as not to obliterate or obscure any written
matter. With respect to discovery materials produced electronically, the designation of
Confidential may be made on the outside of the disk or ed.
3. In the event that the Producing Party inadvertently fails to designate any CDM
as confidential in this Action, it may make such designation subsequently by notifying all
parties to whom such discovery material was produced, in writing as soon as practicable.
After receipt of such notification, the parties to whom production has been made will treat
the discovery material and all copies as having been designated as CDM.
4. The parties agree that the CDM, or any summary thereof, shall be used solely
for the purpose of this Action and for no other purpose without prior written approval from
the Court or the prior written consent of the Producing Party and the Intervenors. All persons
receiving or given access to CDM in accordance with the terms of this Protective Order
consent to the continuing jurisdiction of this Court for the purposes of enforcing this
Protective Order and remedying any violations thereof.
5. a. CDM shall not be disclosed to anyone other than the following categories of
persons:

10. No party shall be obligated to challenge the propriety of any designation, and
a failure to do so shall not preclude a subsequent challenge on the propriety of such
designation and shall not constitute an admission that any information is, in fact, confidential.
11. In the event a party seeks to file any pleading, brief or memorandum or other
document purporting to reproduce, paraphrase or summarize any CDM or portions thereof,

accordance with Local Rules of the United States District Court for the Southern District of
Florida.
12. a. In the event that a party intends to file COM with the Court in support
of, or in opposition to, a non-discovery motion (e.g. motion for summary judgment or any
other dispositive or substantive motion), the filing party shall take appropriate action to
insure that the documents receive proper protection from public disclosure and shall seek
leave of Court to file the document under seal in accordance with the local rules.
b. The non-discovery motion filing and briefing schedule shall be adjusted
and tolled to provide sufficient time for the Court to consider and rule on the motion seeking
permission to file the document(s) under seal.

document(s) in accordance with the parties' and Intervenors' agreement and/or the Court's

receive the confidential information contained therein under the terms of this Protective
Order.
14. This Protective Order is intended to provide a mechanism for the handling of
the CDM and is not intended to imply that any CDM is relevant or admissible in this Action
or any other litigation. Any party may move for relief from, or general or particular
modification of, the mechanism for maintaining confidentiality herein set forth, or the
application of this Protective Order in any particular circumstance, and each party
specifically reserves all rights to object to the relevance or admissibility of any information
produced in accordance with this Protective Order on any grounds it may deem appropriate.

information demanded in the subpoena or process shall notify the party served of its
objections as early as possible prior to the requested compliance date.
