Century Boulevard, Suite 1214 Los Angeles, California 90045 t: (310) 242-2200 f: (310) 242-2222 Attorneys for Defendant HOVG, LLC dba BAY AREA CREDIT SERVICE, erroneously sued as BAY AREA CREDIT SERVICE, LLC 8 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 11 12 Plaintiff, 13 vs. 14 15 ) Case No: 14-cv-03801-DDP (PLAx) ) ) STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ) ORDER ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) ) MOR ZAIDERMAN, BAY AREA CREDIT SERVICE, LLC, Defendant. 16 17 18 19 1. A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS 20 21 22 23 Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. 24 25 Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the following 26 Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer 27 blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection 28 __________________________________________________________________________________________________ {00030064;1} [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 1 2 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. 3 4 The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated 5 Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal; Civil 6 Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and the standards that 7 8 9 will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file material under seal. B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT 10 Defendant is a debt collection agency and its collection policies and procedures 11 12 help Defendant compete in the collection industry. Plaintiff is seeking disclosure of 13 those confidential policies and procedures in this lawsuit. Defendant seeks to maintain 14 15 their confidentiality given their obvious relationship to Defendant’s ability to generate 16 revenue. Defendant has taken significant steps to protect its confidential and sensitive 17 business information. Public disclosure of these policies and procedures would enable 18 19 20 21 Defendant’s competitors to employ Defendant’s collection tactics and possibly eliminate any practical competitive advantage. Plaintiff may also seek Defendant’s confidential financial information with 22 23 respect to Defendant’s means to satisfy a judgment. Public disclosure of Defendant’s 24 finances would also enable Defendant’s competitors to better assess Defendant’s 25 vulnerability to competitive tactics. 26 27 28 Therefore, this action involves trade secrets, confidential policies and procedures, and other valuable research, development, commercial, financial, technical and/or __________________________________________________________________________________________________ {00030064;1} [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 2 1 2 proprietary information for which special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such 3 4 confidential and proprietary materials and information consist of, among other things, 5 confidential business or financial information, information regarding confidential 6 business practices, and may also consist of other confidential research, development, or 7 8 commercial information (including information implicating privacy rights of third 9 parties), information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or which may be 10 privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, court 11 12 rules, case decisions, or common law. 13 Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt 14 15 resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately protect 16 information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are 17 permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in preparation for and in the 18 19 conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends 20 of justice, a protective order for such information is justified in this matter. It is the 21 intent of the parties that information will not be designated as confidential for tactical 22 23 reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it has been 24 maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause why it should 25 not be part of the public record of this case. 26 27 28 /// /// __________________________________________________________________________________________________ {00030064;1} [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 3 1 2. 2 DEFINITIONS 2.1 Action: this pending federal law suit. 2.2 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the designation of 3 4 5 information or items under this Order. 6 2.3 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information (regardless of how 7 8 it is generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for protection under 9 Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), and as specified above in the Good Cause 10 Statement. 11 12 2.4 Counsel: Outside Counsel of Record and House Counsel (as well as their 13 support staff). 14 2.5 15 that Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates information or 16 items it produces 17 in disclosures or in responses to discovery as “CONFIDENTIAL.” 18 19 2.6 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless of 20 the medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, 21 among other things, testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced or 22 23 24 25 generated in disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter. 2.7 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as an 26 27 expert witness or as a consultant in this Action. 28 __________________________________________________________________________________________________ {00030064;1} [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 4 1 2 2.8 House Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a party to this Action. House Counsel does not include Outside Counsel of Record or any other outside 3 4 counsel. 5 2.9 6 Non-Party: any natural person, partnership, corporation, association, or other legal entity not named as a Party to this action. 7 8 2.10 Outside Counsel of Record: attorneys who are not employees of a party to 9 this Action but are retained to represent or advise a party to this Action and have 10 appeared in this Action on behalf of that party or are affiliated with a law firm which 11 12 13 has appeared on behalf of that party, and includes support staff. 2.11 Party: any party to this Action, including all of its officers, directors, 14 15 16 17 employees, consultants, retained experts, and Outside Counsel of Record (and their support staffs). 2.12 Producing Party: a Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or 18 19 Discovery Material in this Action. 20 2.13 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation support 21 services (e.g., photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or 22 23 24 25 demonstrations, and organizing, storing, or retrieving data in any form or medium) and their employees and subcontractors. 2.14 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is designated 26 27 as “CONFIDENTIAL.” 28 __________________________________________________________________________________________________ {00030064;1} [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 5 1 2 2.15 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material from a Producing Party. 3 4 5 6 3. SCOPE 7 8 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only Protected 9 Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted from 10 Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected 11 12 Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or presentations by Parties or their 13 Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. 14 Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the trial 15 16 judge. This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial. 17 4. DURATION 18 19 Once a case proceeds to trial, all of the information to be introduced that was 20 previously designated as confidential or maintained pursuant to this protective order 21 becomes public and will be presumptively available to all members of the public, 22 23 including the press, unless compelling reasons supported by specific factual findings to 24 proceed otherwise are made to the trial judge in advance of the trial. See Kamakana v. 25 City and County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1180-81 (9th Cir. 2006) (distinguishing 26 27 28 “good cause” showing for sealing documents produced in discovery from “compelling reasons” standard when merits-related documents are part of court record). __________________________________________________________________________________________________ {00030064;1} [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 6 1 2 Accordingly, the terms of this protective order do not extend beyond the commencement of the trial. 3 4 5 6 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 7 8 9 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order 10 must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the 11 12 appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for protection only those 13 parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written communications that qualify so 14 15 16 17 that other portions of the material, documents, items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order. Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that 18 19 are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose 20 (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose 21 unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating Party 22 23 to sanctions. 24 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it 25 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must 26 27 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation. 28 __________________________________________________________________________________________________ {00030064;1} [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 7 1 2 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated 3 4 or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this 5 Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or produced. 6 Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 7 8 9 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the 10 Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter 11 12 “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that contains protected material. If only a 13 portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing 14 15 16 17 Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection need 18 19 not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which 20 documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the 21 designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed 22 23 “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants 24 copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or 25 portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the 26 27 28 specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material __________________________________________________________________________________________________ {00030064;1} [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 8 1 2 on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). 3 4 5 6 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identify the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the deposition all protected testimony. 7 8 9 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior 10 of the container or containers in which the information is stored the legend 11 12 “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information warrants 13 protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected 14 15 16 17 portion(s). 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the 18 19 Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon 20 timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to 21 assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order. 22 23 24 25 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s Scheduling 26 27 Order. 28 __________________________________________________________________________________________________ {00030064;1} [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 9 1 2 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution process under Local Rule 37.1, et seq. Any discovery motion must strictly 3 4 5 6 comply with the procedures set forth in Local Rules 37-1, 37-2, and 37-3.6.3. 6.3 Burden. The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper 7 8 purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) 9 may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has 10 waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to afford 11 12 the material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the 13 Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the challenge. 14 15 16 17 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this 18 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 the 21 conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a Receiving 22 23 Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL 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 27 authorized under this Order. 28 __________________________________________________________________________________________________ {00030064;1} [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 10 1 2 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving 3 4 5 6 Party may disclose any information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to: (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to 7 8 9 disclose the information for this Action; (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the 10 Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action; 11 12 13 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the 14 15 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 16 (d) the court and its personnel; 17 (e) court reporters and their staff; (f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional 18 19 20 Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have 21 signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 22 23 24 25 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information; (h) during their depositions, witnesses ,and attorneys for witnesses, in the 26 27 28 Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing party requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit 1 hereto; and (2) they will __________________________________________________________________________________________________ {00030064;1} [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 11 1 2 not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed 3 4 by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed deposition 5 testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may be separately 6 bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted 7 8 9 under this Stipulated Protective Order; and (i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, 10 mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions. 11 12 13 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION 14 15 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that 16 compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as 17 “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must: 18 19 20 21 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order; (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to 22 23 issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or 24 order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this 25 Stipulated Protective Order; and 26 27 28 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. __________________________________________________________________________________________________ {00030064;1} [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 12 1 2 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as 3 4 “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the subpoena or 5 order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The 6 Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court 7 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 12 13 9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION 14 15 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non- 16 Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced 17 by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief 18 19 20 21 provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections. (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to 22 23 produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is 24 subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential 25 information, then the Party shall: 26 27 28 __________________________________________________________________________________________________ {00030064;1} [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 13 1 2 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a 3 4 5 6 Non-Party; (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific 7 8 description of the information requested; and 9 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non- 10 Party, if requested. 11 12 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within 14 days 13 of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may 14 15 produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. 16 If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce 17 any information in its possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality 18 19 agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court. Absent a court order 20 to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection 21 in this court of its Protected Material. 22 23 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 24 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed 25 Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this 26 27 28 Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve __________________________________________________________________________________________________ {00030064;1} [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 14 1 2 all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, and (d) 3 4 request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be 5 Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 6 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR 7 8 9 OTHERWISE PROTECTED MATERIAL When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain 10 inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, 11 12 the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil 13 Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure 14 15 may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior 16 privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the 17 parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or 18 19 information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the 20 parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted to 21 the court. 22 23 24 25 12. MISCELLANEOUS 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person to seek its modification by the Court in the future. 26 27 28 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to __________________________________________________________________________________________________ {00030064;1} [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 15 1 2 disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any 3 4 5 6 ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order. 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may 7 8 only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific 9 Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected Material under seal is 10 denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in the public 11 12 record unless otherwise instructed by the court. 13 14 15 16 13. FINAL DISPOSITION 17 After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 60 18 19 days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return all 20 Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in this 21 subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, 22 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 26 27 28 or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed __________________________________________________________________________________________________ {00030064;1} [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 16 1 2 and (2)affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of the 3 4 Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an 5 archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, 6 legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney 7 8 work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials contain 9 Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected 10 Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION). 11 12 14. Any violation of this Order may be punished by any and all appropriate 13 measures including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary 14 15 16 sanctions.
