By stipulating to this Protective Order, the parties acknowledge that they will receive unredacted discovery containing Personal Identifying Information, and covenant to abide by the guidelines for redacting Personal Identifying Information established by Rule 5.2 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure in all electronic or paper filings with the Court.

The parties further stipulate that any Personal Identifying Information produced during discovery is produced solely for purposes of prosecuting and/or defending this case only, and any other use of Personal Identifying Information so produced is prohibited. The parties agree to destroy material reflecting Personal Identifying Information produced by other parties at the conclusion of this litigation. This stipulation does not preclude use of Personal Identifying Information that is consistent with the exceptions to redaction listed in Fed. R. Civ. P. 5.2(b) or an order of the Court.
