Yea, I think he learned a new novel way to be sanctioned.
A person or entity who produces information,
documents, or other materials may designate them as CONFIDENTIAL when they in
good faith believe the information, documents, or materials contains trade secrets or
nonpublic proprietary confidential technical, scientific, financial, business, health, or
medical information, including confidential health information under the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 and its enabling regulations.
the producing party bears the burden of proving that the designation is
proper. The producing party’s failure to engage in reasonable efforts to resolve the
dispute or respond to an appropriately filed motion may result in the designation as
requested by the receiving party.
Other districts explain it this way:
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 unnecessary expenses and burdens on
other parties) expose the Designating Party to sanctions.
The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures
or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends
only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the
applicable legal principles.
