A. PURPOSE AND LIMITATIONS 25 Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential, 26 proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public disclosure 27 and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. 1 Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the following 2 Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer 3 blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it 4 affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or items 5 that are entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. The 6 parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3 below, that this Stipulated 7 Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal; Civil 8 Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and the standards that 9 will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file material under seal. 10 There is a strong presumption that the public has a right of access to judicial 11 proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non-dispositive motions, 12 good cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See Kamakana v. City and 13 County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th Cir. 2006), Phillips v. Gen. Motors 14 Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar-Welbon v. Sony Electrics, Inc., 15 187 F.R.D. 576, 577 (E.D. Wis. 1999) (even stipulated protective orders require good 16 cause showing), and a specific showing of good cause or compelling reasons with 17 proper evidentiary support and legal justification, must be made with respect to material 18 that a party seeks to file under seal. The parties’ mere designation of material as 19 “CONFIDENTIAL” does not— without the submission of competent evidence by 20 declaration, establishing that the material sought to be filed under seal qualifies as 21 confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable—constitute good cause. Further, if a 22 party requests sealing related to dispositive motion or trial, then compelling reasons, not 23 only good cause, for the sealing must be shown, and the relief sought shall be narrowly 24 tailored to serve the specific interest to be protected. See Pintos v. Pacific Creditors 25 Ass’n, 605 F.3d 665, 677-79 (9th Cir. 2010). 26 Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable in its 27 entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential portions can be redacted. If 1 the confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable portions of the document, shall be 2 filed. Any application that seeks to file documents under seal in their entirety should 3 include an explanation of why redaction is not feasible. 4 B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT 5 This action is likely to involve confidential information pertaining to personnel 6 records and other materials subject to privacy protections for which special protection 7 from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecution of this 8 action is warranted. Limiting disclosure of these documents to the context of this 9 litigation as provided herein will, accordingly further important law enforcement 10 objectives and interests, including the safety of personnel and the public, as well as 11 individual privacy rights of Plaintiff, Defendants, individuals likely to be named in the 12 future, and third parties. Such confidential materials and information consist of, among 13 other things, materials entitled to privileges and/or protections under the following: the 14 United States Constitution, First Amendment; the California Constitution, Article I, 15 Section 1; California Penal Code §§ 832.5, 832.7, and 832.8; California Evidence Code 16 §§ 1040 and 1043 et seq.; the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. § 552a; Health Insurance 17 Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), Public Law 104-191, decisional 18 law relating to such provisions; and information otherwise generally unavailable to the 19 public, or which may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or 20 federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common law. 21 Confidential information with respect to the Defendants may include but is not 22 limited to: personnel files; internal investigative files and documents; email and written 23 correspondence records; and policies and procedures that are kept from the public in the 24 ordinary course of business, as well as other items subject to the Official Information 25 Privilege and other privileges. 26 Confidential information with respect to the Plaintiff may include but is not 27 limited to: employment and financial records; email and written correspondence 1 records; and psychological and medical records of any kind including, but not limited 2 to, notes, evaluations, reports, and treatment plans. 3 Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt 4 resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately protect 5 information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are 6 permitted to reasonably use such material in preparation for and in conduct of trial, to 7 address their handling at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a 8 protective order for such information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the 9 parties that information will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and 10 that nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a 11 confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part of the 12 public record of this case. 13 2. DEFINITIONS 14 2.1 Action: Larios v. City of Long Beach, et al. (2:18−cv−10486 PSG 15 (PJWx)). 16 2.2 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the designation 17 of information or items under this Order. 18 2.3 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information (regardless of 19 how it is generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for protection 20 under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), and as specified above in the Good Cause 21 Statement. 22 2.4 Counsel: Outside Counsel of Record and House Counsel (as well as 23 their support staff). 24 2.5 Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates information or 25 items that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as 26 “CONFIDENTIAL.” 27 2.6 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless 1 among other things, testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced or 2 generated in disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter. 3 2.7 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter 4 pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as an 5 expert witness or as a consultant in this Action. 6 2.8 House Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a party to this Action. 7 House Counsel does not include Outside Counsel of Record or any other outside 8 counsel. 9 2.9 Non-Party: any natural person, partnership, corporation, association, or 10 other legal entity not named as a Party to this action. 11 2.10 Outside Counsel of Record: attorneys who are not employees of a 12 party to this Action but are retained to represent or advise a party to this Action and 13 have appeared in this Action on behalf of that party or are affiliated with a law firm 14 which has appeared on behalf of that party, and includes support staff. 15 2.11 Party: any party to this Action, including all of its officers, directors, 16 employees, consultants, retained experts, and Outside Counsel of Record (and their 17 support staffs). 18 2.12 Producing Party: a Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or 19 Discovery Material in this Action. 20 2.13 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation 21 support services (e.g., photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or 22 demonstrations, and organizing, storing, or retrieving data in any form or medium) and 23 their employees and subcontractors. 24 2.14 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is 25 designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” 26 2.15 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery 27 Material from a Producing Party. 1 2.16 Producing Party: a Party that makes a Disclosure or produces 2 Discovery Material to the Receiving Party. 3 3. SCOPE 4 The protections conferred by this Order cover not only Protected Material (as 5 defined above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted from Protected 6 Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and 7 (3) any testimony, conversations, or presentations by Parties or their Counsel (as 8 defined by Sections 4.8 and 4.10) that might reveal Protected Material. 9 Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the trial 10 judge. This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial. 11 4. DURATION 12 Once a case proceeds to trial, information that was designated as 13 CONFIDENTIAL or maintained pursuant to this protective order used or introduced as 14 an exhibit at trial becomes public and will be presumptively available to all members of 15 the public, including the press, unless compelling reasons supported by specific factual 16 findings to proceed otherwise are made to the trial judge in advance of the trial. See 17 Kamakana, 447 F. 3d at 1180-81 (distinguishing “good cause: showing for sealing 18 documents produced in discovery from “compelling reasons” standard when merits- 19 related documents are part of court record). Accordingly, the terms of this protective 20 order do not extend beyond the commencement of trial. 21 In the event that this case does not proceed to trial, the confidentiality obligations 22 imposed by this Order shall remain in effect until the dismissal of all claims and 23 defenses in this Action, with or without prejudice. 24 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 25 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for 26 Protection. Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection 27 under this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that 1 protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written 2 communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, items, or 3 communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within 4 the ambit of this Order. 5 Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that 6 are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose 7 (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose unnecessary 8 expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating Party to sanctions. 9 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it 10 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must 11 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation. 12 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this 13 Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or 14 ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order 15 must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or produced. 16 Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 17 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, but 18 excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the 19 Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter 20 “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that contains protected material. If only a 21 portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing 22 Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate 23 markings in the margins). 24 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection need 25 not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which 26 documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the 27 designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed 1 copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions 2 thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the specified 3 documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page 4 that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page 5 qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected 6 portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). 7 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identify the 8 Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the deposition all 9 protected testimony. 10 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any 11 other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior 12 of the container or containers in which the information is stored the legend 13 “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information warrants 14 protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected 15 portion(s). 16 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to 17 designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating 18 Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely 19 correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure 20 that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order. 21 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 22 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation 23 of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s Scheduling Order. 24 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution 25 process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq. 26 6.3 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the 27 Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose (e.g., 1 Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived or withdrawn 2 the confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to afford the material in 3 question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s 4 designation until the Court rules on the challenge. 5 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 6 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is 7 disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this Action 8 only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such Protected 9 Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the conditions 10 described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a Receiving Party must 11 comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION). 12 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a 13 location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons 14 authorized under this Order. 15 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise 16 ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party 17 may disclose any information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to: 18 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well as 19 employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to 20 disclose the information for this Action; 21 (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the 22 Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action; 23 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure 24 is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and 25 Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 26 (d) the court and its personnel; 27 (e) court reporters and their staff; 1 (f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional Vendors to 2 whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the 3 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 4 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a 5 custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information; 6 (h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the Action 7 to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing party requests 8 that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit 1 hereto; and (2) they will not be 9 permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the “Acknowledgment 10 and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating 11 Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to 12 depositions that reveal Protected Material may be separately bound by the court reporter 13 and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective 14 Order; and 15 (i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, mutually 16 agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions. 17 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED 18 PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION 19 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that 20 compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as 21 “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must: 22 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall 23 include a copy of the subpoena or court order; 24 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to 25 issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or 26 order is subject to this Stipulated Protective Order. Such notification shall include a 27 copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and 1 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by 2 the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. 3 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the 4 subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as 5 “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the subpoena or 6 order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The 7 Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court 8 of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions should be construed as 9 authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action to disobey a lawful 10 directive from another court. 11 9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE 12 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION 13 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-Party 14 in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by 15 Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief 16 provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a 17 Non-Party from seeking additional protections. 18 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce a 19 Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an 20 agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, 21 then the Party shall: 22 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that 23 some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a 24 Non-Party; 25 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated 26 Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably 27 specific description of the information requested; and 1 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non- 2 Party, if requested. 3 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within fourteen 4 (14) days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party 5 may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery 6 request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not 7 produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality 8 agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court. Absent a court order 9 to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in 10 this court of its Protected Material. 11 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 12 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed 13 Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this 14 Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing 15 the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve 16 all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons to 17 whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, and (d) request 18 such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” 19 that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 20 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR 21 OTHERWISE PROTECTED MATERIAL 22 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain 23 inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the 24 obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil 25 Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure 26 may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior 27 privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the 1 information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the 2 parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted to 3 the court. 4 12. MISCELLANEOUS 5 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any 6 person to seek its modification by the Court in the future. 7 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this 8 Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to 9 disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this 10 Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any 11 ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order. 12 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected 13 Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may only be filed 14 under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected 15 Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected Material under seal is denied by 16 the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in the public record unless 17 otherwise instructed by the court. 18 13. FINAL DISPOSITION 19 After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 60 20 days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must 21 return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in 22 this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, 23 summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected 24 Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party 25 must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or 26 entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by category, 27 where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and (2) 1 summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. 2 Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all 3 pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, 4 correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and 5 consultant and expert work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. 6 Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to 7 this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION). 8 14. Any violation of this Order may be punished by any and all appropriate 9 measures including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary 10 sanctions. 11 12 IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD. 13 14 DATED: May 21, 2020 Respectfully submitted, 15 SOCAL JUSTICE LAW GROUP, P.C. 16 /s/ Nicholas C.
