STIPULATED PROTECTIVE 15 ORDER CONCERNING THE PAVESTONE, LLC, a corporation; and 16 DOES 1 through 50, inclusive, TREATMENT OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 17 DEFENDANT. 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 1 Counsel for Jorge Luis Jaramillo Lopez (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant 2 Pavestone, LLC (“Defendant”) (collectively, the “Parties”), by and through their 3 respective counsel of record, stipulate as follows: 4 1. A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS 5 Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential, 6 proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public 7 disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may 8 be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to 9 enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this 10 Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to 11 discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends 12 only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment 13 under the applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth 14 in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them 15 to file confidential information under seal; Local Rule 141 sets forth the 16 procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a 17 party seeks permission from the court to file material under seal. 18 19 B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT 20 This action is likely to involve confidential, commercial, financial, 21 proprietary, and/or private information, including employee personally identifiable 22 information and health information, for which special protection from public 23 disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecution of this action is 24 warranted. Such confidential and proprietary materials and information consist of, 25 among other things, confidential business or financial information, information 26 regarding confidential business practices, or other confidential research, 27 development, or commercial information (including information implicating 1 public, or which may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under 2 state or federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common law. Accordingly, 3 to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes 4 over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately protect information the 5 parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted 6 reasonable necessary uses of such material in preparation for and in the conduct of 7 trial, to address their handling at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of 8 justice, a protective order for such information is justified in this matter. It is the 9 intent of the parties that information will not be designated as confidential for 10 tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it 11 has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause 12 why it should not be part of the public record of this case. 13 2. DEFINITIONS 14 2.1 Action: this pending federal lawsuit, styled Jorge Luis Jaramillo 15 Lopez v. Pavestone, LLC, USDC Eastern District of California, Case No. 2:22-cv- 16 01419-TLN-DB. 17 2.2 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the 18 designation of information or items under this Order. 19 2.3 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information (regardless of 20 how it is generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for 21 protection under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c) and other applicable law, 22 and as specified above in the Good Cause Statement. 23 2.4 Counsel: Outside Counsel of Record and House Counsel (as well as 24 their support staff). 25 2.5 Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates information or 26 items that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as 27 “CONFIDENTIAL.” 1 2.6 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless 2 of the medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, 3 among other things, testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced 4 or generated in disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter. 5 2.7 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter 6 pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve 7 as an expert witness or as a consultant in this Action. 8 2.8 House Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a party to this Action. 9 House Counsel does not include Outside Counsel of Record or any other outside 10 counsel. 11 2.9 Non-Party: any natural person, partnership, corporation, association, 12 or other legal entity not named as a Party to this action. 13 2.10 Outside Counsel of Record: attorneys who are not employees of a 14 party to this Action but are retained to represent or advise a party to this Action 15 and have appeared in this Action on behalf of that party or are affiliated with a law 16 firm which has appeared on behalf of that party, and includes support staff. 17 2.11 Party: any party to this Action, including all of its officers, directors, 18 employees, consultants, retained experts, and Outside Counsel of Record (and their 19 support staffs). 20 2.12 Producing Party: a Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or 21 Discovery Material in this Action. 22 2.13 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation 23 support services (e.g., photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or 24 demonstrations, and organizing, storing, or retrieving data in any form or medium) 25 and their employees and subcontractors. 26 2.14 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is 27 designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” 1 2.15 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material 2 from a Producing Party. 3 3. SCOPE 4 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only 5 Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or 6 extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or 7 compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or 8 presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. 9 Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the 10 trial judge. This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial. 11 12 4. DURATION 13 Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations 14 imposed by this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees 15 otherwise in writing or a court order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be 16 deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in this Action, 17 with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion and 18 exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this Action, 19 including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of 20 time pursuant to applicable law. 21 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 22 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. 23 Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under 24 this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that 25 qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for 26 protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written 27 communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, 1 items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept 2 unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order. 3 Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations 4 that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper 5 purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to 6 impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the 7 Designating Party to sanctions. 8 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it 9 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must 10 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation. 11 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in 12 this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise 13 stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection 14 under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or 15 produced. 16 Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 17 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic 18 documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial 19 proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend 20 “CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that 21 contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page 22 qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the 23 protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). 24 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection 25 need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated 26 which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and 27 before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be 1 documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine 2 which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. 3 Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix 4 the “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If 5 only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the 6 Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making 7 appropriate markings in the margins). 8 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identify the 9 Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the deposition 10 all protected testimony. Alternatively, within 30 days after the transcript is 11 delivered to any Party, the Party may serve a Notice of Designation as to specific 12 portions of the testimony that are designated CONFIDENTIAL, and thereafter only 13 those portions identified in the Notice of Designation shall be protected by the 14 terms of this Order. All deposition testimony shall be treated as Protected Material 15 pending receipt of a transcript of the deposition. 16 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for 17 any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the 18 exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the legend 19 “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information warrants 20 protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the 21 protected portion(s). 22 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent 23 failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive 24 the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such 25 material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make 26 reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the 27 provisions of this Order. 1 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a 2 designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s 3 Scheduling Order. 4 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute 5 resolution process under Local Rule 251. 6 6.3 Joint Stipulation. Any challenge submitted to the Court shall be via a 7 joint statement pursuant to Local Rule 251. The burden of persuasion in any such 8 challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and 9 those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary 10 expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to 11 sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived or withdrawn the 12 confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to afford the material in 13 question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s 14 designation until the Court rules on the challenge. 15 16 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 17 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is 18 disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this 19 Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such 20 Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under 21 the conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a 22 Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL 23 DISPOSITION). 24 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a 25 location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons 26 authorized under this Order. 27 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless 1 Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated 2 “CONFIDENTIAL” only to: 3 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well 4 as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably 5 necessary to disclose the information for this Action; 6 (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the 7 Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action; 8 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom 9 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the 10 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 11 (d) the court and its personnel; 12 (e) court reporters and their staff; 13 (f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional 14 Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have 15 signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 16 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a 17 custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information; 18 (h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the 19 Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: they sign the 20 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise 21 agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed 22 deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may 23 be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone 24 except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and 25 (i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, 26 mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions. 27 1 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED 2 PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION 3 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation 4 that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as 5 “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must: 6 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall 7 include a copy of the subpoena or court order; 8 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to 9 issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena 10 or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy 11 of this Stipulated Protective Order; and 12 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued 13 by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. 14 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served 15 with the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in 16 this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which 17 the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s 18 permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking 19 protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions 20 should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action 21 to disobey a lawful directive from another court. 22 23 9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE 24 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION 25 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non- 26 Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information 27 produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the 1 construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections. 2 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to 3 produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is 4 subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s 5 confidential information, then the Party shall: 6 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non- 7 Party that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality 8 agreement with a Non-Party; 9 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated 10 Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably 11 specific description of the information requested; and 12 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the 13 Non-Party, if requested. 14 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within 14 15 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party 16 may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery 17 request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall 18 not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the 19 confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court. 20 Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and 21 expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material. 22 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 23 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has 24 disclosed Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized 25 under this Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) 26 notify in writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its 27 best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform 1 of this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the 2 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit 3 A. 4 5 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE 6 PROTECTED MATERIAL 7 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain 8 inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other 9 protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal 10 Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify 11 whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for 12 production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Fed. R. Evid. 502(d), the 13 production of a privileged or work-product-protected document, whether 14 inadvertent or otherwise, is not a waiver of privilege or protection from discovery 15 in this case or in any other federal or state proceeding. Nothing contained herein, 16 however, is intended to limit a party’s right to conduct a review of ESI for 17 relevance, responsiveness and/or privilege or other protection from discovery. 18 Communications involving trial counsel that post-date the filing of the complaint 19 need not be placed on a privilege log. Communications may be identified on a 20 privilege log by category, rather than individually, if appropriate. 21 12. MISCELLANEOUS 22 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any 23 person to seek its modification by the Court in the future. 24 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this 25 Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to 26 disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in 27 this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on 1 any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective 2 Order. 3 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any 4 Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 141. Protected Material 5 may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the 6 specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected Material 7 under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information 8 in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court. 9 13. FINAL DISPOSITION 10 After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 11 60 days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must 12 return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As 13 used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, 14 compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the 15 Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the 16 Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if 17 not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that 18 (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was 19 returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any 20 copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or 21 capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel 22 are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, 23 deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition 24 and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert 25 work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival 26 copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this 27 Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION). 1 14. VIOLATION 2 Any violation of this Order may be punished by any and all appropriate 3 measures including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary 4 sanctions. 5 6 IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD. 7 Dated: October 6, 2022 Respectfully submitted, 8 KINGSLEY & KINGSLEY, APC 9 By: /s/ Jessica L.

Adlouni 25 Jessica L. Adlouni Attorneys for Plaintiff 26 27 1 EXHIBIT A 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND 3 I, ________________________________________[print or type full name], of 4 ______________________________________________________________[print 5 or type full address], declare under penalty of perjury that I have read in its entirety 6 and understand the Stipulated Protective Order that was issued by the United States 7 District Court for the Eastern District of California on __________________[date] 8 in the case of Jorge Luis Jaramillo Lopez v. Pavestone, LLC, USDC Eastern 9 District of California, Case No. 2:22-cv-01419-TLN-DB. I agree to comply with 10 and to be bound by all the terms of this Stipulated Protective Order and I 11 understand and acknowledge that failure to so comply could expose me to 12 sanctions and punishment in the nature of contempt. I solemnly promise that I will 13 not disclose in any manner any information or item that is subject to this Stipulated 14 Protective Order to any person or entity except in strict compliance with the 15 provisions of this Order. 16 I further agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court 17 for the Central District of California for the purpose of enforcing the terms of this 18 Stipulated Protective Order, even if such enforcement proceedings occur after 19 termination of this action. I hereby appoint ___________________________ [print 20 or type full name] of _____________________________________________ 21 [print or type full address and telephone number] as my California agent for 22 service of process in connection with this action or any proceedings related to 23 enforcement of this Stipulated Protective Order. 24 Date: __________________________ 25 City and State where sworn and signed: __________________________________ 26 Printed name: __________________________ 27 Signature: _____________________________ 1 ORDER 2 IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the parties’ stipulation (ECF No. 10) is granted. 3 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT: 4 1. Requests to seal documents shall be made by motion before the same judge who will 5 decide the matter related to that request to seal. 6 2. The designation of documents (including transcripts of testimony) as confidential 7 pursuant to this order does not automatically entitle the parties to file such a document with the 8 court under seal. Parties are advised that any request to seal documents in this district is governed 9 by Local Rule 141. In brief, Local Rule 141 provides that documents may only be sealed by a 10 written order of the court after a specific request to seal has been made. L.R. 141(a). However, a 11 mere request to seal is not enough under the local rules. In particular, Local Rule 141(b) requires 12 that “[t]he ‘Request to Seal Documents’ shall set forth the statutory or other authority for sealing, 13 the requested duration, the identity, by name or category, of persons to be permitted access to the 14 document, and all relevant information.” L.R. 141(b). 15 3. A request to seal material must normally meet the high threshold of showing that 16 “compelling reasons” support secrecy; however, where the material is, at most, “tangentially 17 related” to the merits of a case, the request to seal may be granted on a showing of “good cause.” 18 Ctr. for Auto Safety v. Chrysler Grp., LLC, 809 F.3d 1092, 1096-1102 (9th Cir. 2016); Kamakana 19 v. City and County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1178-80 (9th Cir. 2006). 20 4. Nothing in this order shall limit the testimony of parties or non-parties, or the use of 21 certain documents, at any court hearing or trial – such determinations will only be made by the 22 court at the hearing or trial, or upon an appropriate motion. 23 5. With respect to motions regarding any disputes concerning this protective order which 24 the parties cannot informally resolve, the parties shall follow the procedures outlined in Local 25 Rule 251. Absent a showing of good cause, the court will not hear discovery disputes on an ex 26 parte basis or on shortened time. 27 //// 1 6. The parties may not modify the terms of this Protective Order without the court’s 2 approval. If the parties agree to a potential modification, they shall submit a stipulation and 3 proposed order for the court’s consideration. 4 7. Pursuant to Local Rule 141.1(f), the court will not retain jurisdiction over enforcement 5 of the terms of this Protective Order after the action is terminated. 6 8. Any provision in the parties’ stipulation that is in conflict with anything in this order is 7 hereby DISAPPROVED. 8 DATED: October 21, 2022 /s/ DEBORAH BARNES UNITED STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27
