Plaintiff Eric Brown and Defendant Jones Lang LaSalle Americas, Inc., by

18

and through their respective attorneys of record, having jointly submitted a

19

Stipulated Protective Order, and for good cause shown:

20

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Stipulated Protective Order is
21

APPROVED and its terms and conditions are now the Order of the Court, as
22

follows:
23

1. A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
24

Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential,
25

proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public
26

disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be
27

warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter
28
cv 15-3883 Brown
prot order.docx

the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order
1
Case No. 2:15-cv-03883 SJO (FFMx)
[PROPOSED] ORDER RE: STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and

2

that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the

3

limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the

4

applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in

5 Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file
6 confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures
7 that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks
8 permission from the court to file material under seal.
9

B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT

10
11

information for which special protection from public disclosure and from use for any

12

purpose other than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such confidential and

13

proprietary materials and information consist of, among other things, confidential

14

business information regarding confidential business practices, confidential

15

information regarding Defendant’s clients/customers who are third parties to this

16

litigation, or information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, and/or

17

information implicating privacy rights of third parties, which may be privileged or

18

otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case

19

decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to

20

facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials,

21

to adequately protect information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to

22

ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in

23

preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of the

24

litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is

25

justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that information will not be

26

designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated

27

without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public

28

This action is likely to involve technical, proprietary, and/or private

manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part of the public record of this

Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the
trial judge. This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial.

3

4. DURATION

4

Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations

5

imposed by this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees

6

otherwise in writing or a court order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be

7

deemed to be the later of: (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in this Action, with

8

or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion and

9

exhaustion of all appeals, re-hearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this Action,

10

including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time

11

pursuant to applicable law.

12

5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

13

5.1

Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

14

Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under

15

this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that

16

qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for

17

protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written

18

communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, items,

19

or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably

20

within the ambit of this Order.

21

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations

22

that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper

23

purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose

24

unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating

25

Party to sanctions.

26
27

designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must

28
cv 15-3883 Brown
prot order.docx

If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it

promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.
5
Case No. 2:15-cv-03883 SJO (FFMx)
[PROPOSED] ORDER RE: STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

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

3 stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection
4 under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or
5 produced.
6

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

7

(a)

for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic

8 documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial
9 proceedings),

that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend

10 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES
11 ONLY” (hereinafter, collectively, “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that
12 contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page
13 qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected
14 portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). A Party or Non15 Party that makes original documents available for inspection need not designate them
16 for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which documents it would
17 like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all of the
18 material made available for inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL” or
19 “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” After the inspecting
20 Party has identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing
21 Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection
22 under this Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing
23 Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains Protected
24 Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for
25 protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s)
26 (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
27
28
cv 15-3883 Brown
prot order.docx

(b)

for testimony given in depositions, that the Designating Party identify

the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the
6
Case No. 2:15-cv-03883 SJO (FFMx)
[PROPOSED] ORDER RE: STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

deposition, all protected testimony.

2

testimony as confidential by identifying, in a letter or email, the confidential portions

3

by page and line.

4

(c)

However, the parties also may designate

for information produced in some form other than documentary and for

5

any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the

6

exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the

7

“CONFIDENTIAL legend.” If only a portion or portions of the information warrants

8

protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected

9

portion(s) (such as in a letter or email).

10

5.3

Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent

11

failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive

12

the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material.

13

Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable

14 efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this
15 Order.
16

6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

17

6.1

18

Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a

designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s

19 Scheduling Order.
20
21
22

6.2

Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the

dispute resolution process under Local Rule 37, et seq.
6.3

The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on

23 the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper
24 purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other
25 parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating
26 Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall
27 continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is
28 entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the

7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

3

7.1

Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is

4

disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this

5

Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such

6 Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the
7 conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a
8 Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of Section 13 below (“FINAL
9 DISPOSITION”).
10

11 location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons
12 authorized under this Order.

during their depositions, witnesses and attorneys for witnesses, in the

5 Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary, provided they sign the
6 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise
7 agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed
8 deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may be
9 separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as
10 permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and
11

(i)

any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel,

12 mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions.
13

7.3

Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES

14

ONLY” Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered by the court or permitted

15

in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any

16

information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES

17

ONLY” only to the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as

18

well as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably

necessary to disclose the information for this Action and to the Court and its

personnel. (FFM)

If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation

24

that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as

25

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES

26

ONLY,” that Party must:

27
28
cv 15-3883 Brown
prot order.docx

(a)

promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall

include a copy of the subpoena or court order;

Case No. 2:15-cv-03883 SJO (FFMx)
[PROPOSED] ORDER RE: STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

(b)

promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order

2

to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the

3

subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include

4

a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and

5
6

(c)

cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued

by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

7

If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with

8

the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this

9

action as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’

10

EYES ONLY” before a determination by the court from which the subpoena or

11

order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The

12

Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that

13

court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions should be construed

14

as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action to disobey a lawful

15

directive from another court.

16

9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE
PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION

17
18

(a)

The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a

19

Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY

20

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” Such information produced by

21

Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief

22

provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be construed as

23

prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.

24

(b)

In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to

25

produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is

26

subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s

27

confidential information, then the Party shall:

cv 15-3883 Brown
prot order.docx

10
Case No. 2:15-cv-03883 SJO (FFMx)
[PROPOSED] ORDER RE: STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

(1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party

2

that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement

3

with a Non-Party;

4

(2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated

5

Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably

6

specific description of the information requested; and
(3) make the information requested available for inspection by the

7
8
9

Non-Party, if requested.
(c)

If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this Court within

10 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party
11 may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery
12 request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall
13 not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the
14 confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court.
15

Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense

16

of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.

17

10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

18

If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed

19

Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this

20

Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately: (a) notify in

21

writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts

22

to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or

23

persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order,

24

and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and

25

Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

OTHERWISE PROTECTED MATERIAL
When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain

Case No. 2:15-cv-03883 SJO (FFMx)
[PROPOSED] ORDER RE: STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other legal

2 protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule
3 of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever
4 procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production
5 without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e),
6 insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a
7 communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work
8 product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated
9 protective order submitted to the Court.
10

12.MISCELLANEOUS

11

12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any

12

person to seek its modification by the Court in the future.

13

12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this

14

Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to

15

disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this

16

Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any

17

ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order.

18

12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any

19

Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may

20

only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the

21

specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party’s request to file Protected Material

22

under seal is denied by the Court, then the Receiving Party may file the information

23

in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the Court.

24
25

After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within

26

60 days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must

27

return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used

28

Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the

3

Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if

4

not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that:

5

(1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was

6

returned or destroyed, and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any

7

copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or

8

capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are

9

entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition,

10

and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial

11

exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work

12

product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies

13

that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order

14

as set forth in Section 4 (“DURATION”).

15

Any violation of this Order may be punished by any and all appropriate

16

measures including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary

17

sanctions.
