Wrosch, (SBN 262230) E-mail: mwrosch@bwslaw.com BURKE, WILLIAMS & SORENSEN, LLP 444 South Flower Street, Suite 2400 Los Angeles, CA 90071-2953 Tel: 213.236.0600 Fax: 213.236.2700 Attorneys for Defendant WAL-MART STORES, INC. 7 8 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 11 MARSHA LOYA, 12 Plaintiff, 13 PROTECTIVE ORDER v. 14 Case No. 2:15-CV-04775-ODW-AGR WAL-MART STORES, INC., a Delaware corporation, and DOES 1 50, 15 16 Defendants. 17 18 19 1. A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential, 20 proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public 21 disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may 22 be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to 23 enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this 24 Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to 25 discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends 26 only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment 27 under the applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth 28 in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to B URKE , W ILLIAMS & S ORENSEN , LLP ATTORNEYS AT LAW LOS ANGELES -1- CASE NO.: 2:15-CV-04775-ODW-AGR STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the 2 procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a 3 party seeks permission from the court to file material under seal. 4 B. 5 This action is likely to involve commercial, financial, and/or proprietary GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT 6 information for which special protection from public disclosure and from use for 7 any purpose other than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such confidential 8 and proprietary materials and information consist of, among other things, 9 confidential business or financial information, information regarding confidential 10 business practices, or other confidential commercial information (including 11 information implicating privacy rights of third parties), information otherwise 12 generally unavailable to the public, or which may be privileged or otherwise 13 protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, 14 or common law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the 15 prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to 16 adequately protect information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to 17 ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in 18 preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of the 19 litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is 20 justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that information will not be 21 designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated 22 without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public 23 manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part of the public record of 24 this case. 25 26 27 28 B URKE , W ILLIAMS & S ORENSEN , LLP ATTORNEYS AT LAW LOS ANGELES 2. DEFINITIONS 2.1 Action: refers to the Complaint for Damages filed by Plaintiff against WAL-MART on May 21, 2015 in the Superior Court of California, County of Los -2- CASE NO.: 2:15-CV-04775-ODW-AGR STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 Angeles, Case No. BC582443, and subsequently removed to the United States 2 District Court for the Central District of California, Case No. 2:15-CV-04775- 3 ODW-AGR. 4 5 6 2.2 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the designation of information or items under this Order. 2.3 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information (regardless of 7 how it is generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for 8 protection under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), and as specified above in 9 the Good Cause Statement. 10 11 12 2.4 Counsel: Outside Counsel of Record and House Counsel (as well as their support staff). 2.5 Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates information or 13 items that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as 14 “CONFIDENTIAL.” 15 2.6 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless 16 of the medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, 17 among other things, testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced 18 or generated in disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter. 19 2.7 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter 20 pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as 21 an expert witness or as a consultant in this Action. 22 2.8 House Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a party to this Action. 23 House Counsel does not include Outside Counsel of Record or any other outside 24 counsel. 25 26 27 28 B URKE , W ILLIAMS & S ORENSEN , LLP ATTORNEYS AT LAW LOS ANGELES 2.9 Non-Party: any natural person, partnership, corporation, association, or other legal entity not named as a Party to this action. 2.10 Outside Counsel of Record: attorneys who are not employees of a party to this Action but are retained to represent or advise a party to this Action and -3- CASE NO.: 2:15-CV-04775-ODW-AGR STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 have appeared in this Action on behalf of that party or are affiliated with a law firm 2 which has appeared on behalf of that party, and includes support staff. 3 2.11 Party: any party to this Action, including all of its officers, directors, 4 employees, consultants, retained experts, and Outside Counsel of Record (and their 5 support staffs). 6 7 2.12 Producing Party: a Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or Discovery Material in this Action. 8 2.13 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation 9 support services (e.g., photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or 10 demonstrations, and organizing, storing, or retrieving data in any form or medium) 11 and their employees and subcontractors. 12 13 2.14 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” 14 15 2.15 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material from a Producing Party. 16 17 3.

This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial. 25 26 27 28 B URKE , W ILLIAMS & S ORENSEN , LLP ATTORNEYS AT LAW LOS ANGELES 4. DURATION Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees -4- CASE NO.: 2:15-CV-04775-ODW-AGR STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 otherwise in writing or a court order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be 2 deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in this Action, 3 with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion and 4 exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this Action, 5 including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time 6 pursuant to applicable law. 7 8 9 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. 10 Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under 11 this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that 12 qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for 13 protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written 14 communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, 15 items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept 16 unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order. 17 Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations 18 that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper 19 purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to 20 impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the 21 Designating Party to sanctions. 22 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it 23 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must 24 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation. 25 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in 26 this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise 27 stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection 28 B URKE , W ILLIAMS & S ORENSEN , LLP ATTORNEYS AT LAW LOS ANGELES -5- CASE NO.: 2:15-CV-04775-ODW-AGR STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or 2 produced. 3 4 Designation in conformity with this Order requires: (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic 5 documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial 6 proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend 7 “CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that 8 contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page 9 qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected 10 portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). 11 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection 12 need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated 13 which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and 14 before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be 15 deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the 16 documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine 17 which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, 18 before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the 19 “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a 20 portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing 21 Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making 22 appropriate markings in the margins). 23 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party 24 identify the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the 25 deposition all protected testimony. 26 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary 27 and for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place 28 on the exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the B URKE , W ILLIAMS & S ORENSEN , LLP ATTORNEYS AT LAW LOS ANGELES -6- CASE NO.: 2:15-CV-04775-ODW-AGR STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information 2 warrants protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the 3 protected portion(s). 4 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent 5 failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive 6 the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such 7 material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make 8 reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the 9 provisions of this Order. 10 11 12 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a 13 designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s 14 Scheduling Order. 15 16 17 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq. 6.3 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on 18 the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper 19 purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other 20 parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating 21 Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall 22 continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is 23 entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the 24 challenge. 25 26 27 28 B URKE , W ILLIAMS & S ORENSEN , LLP ATTORNEYS AT LAW LOS ANGELES -7- CASE NO.: 2:15-CV-04775-ODW-AGR STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 2 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 7.1 Basic Principles. A receiving party may use designated material only 3 for this litigation. Designated material may be disclosed only to the categories of 4 persons and under the conditions described in this Order. 5 7.2 Disclosure of CONFIDENTIAL Material Without Further Approval. 6 Unless otherwise ordered by the Court or permitted in writing by the designator, a 7 receiving party may disclose any material designated CONFIDENTIAL only to: 8 9 10 (a) The receiving party’s outside counsel of record in this action and employees of outside counsel of record to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary; 11 (b) The officers, directors, and employees of the receiving party to 12 whom disclosure is reasonably necessary, and who have signed the Agreement to 13 Be Bound (Exhibit E-1); 14 (c) Experts retained by the receiving party’s outside counsel of 15 record to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary, and who have signed the 16 Agreement to Be Bound (Exhibit E-1); 17 (d) The Court and its personnel; 18 (e) Outside court reporters and their staff, professional jury or trial 19 consultants, and professional vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary, 20 and who have signed the Agreement to Be Bound (Exhibit E-1); 21 (f) During their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom 22 disclosure is reasonably necessary and who have signed the Agreement to Be 23 Bound (Exhibit E-1); and 24 25 (g) The author or recipient of a document containing the material, or a custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information. 26 (i) Any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting 27 personnel, mutually agreed upon any of the parties engaged in settlement 28 negotiations. B URKE , W ILLIAMS & S ORENSEN , LLP ATTORNEYS AT LAW LOS ANGELES -8- CASE NO.: 2:15-CV-04775-ODW-AGR STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 2 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED 3 IN OTHER LITIGATION 4 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation 5 that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as 6 “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must: 7 8 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order; 9 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or 10 order to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the 11 subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include 12 a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and 13 14 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. 15 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with 16 the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this 17 action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the 18 subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s 19 permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking 20 protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions 21 should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action 22 to disobey a lawful directive from another court. 23 24 25 26 9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced 27 by a Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such 28 information produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected B URKE , W ILLIAMS & S ORENSEN , LLP ATTORNEYS AT LAW LOS ANGELES -9- CASE NO.: 2:15-CV-04775-ODW-AGR STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions 2 should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections. 3 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery 4 request, to produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the 5 Party is subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s 6 confidential information, then the Party shall: 7 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the 8 Non-Party that some or all of the information requested is subject to a 9 confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party; 10 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the 11 Stipulated Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a 12 reasonably specific description of the information requested; and 13 14 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party, if requested. 15 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court 16 within 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the 17 Receiving Party may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive 18 to the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the 19 Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession or control that 20 is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a 21 determination by the court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall 22 bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected 23 Material. 24 25 26 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL The inadvertent production by any of the undersigned Parties or non-Parties 27 to the Proceedings of any Document, Testimony or Information during discovery in 28 this Proceeding without a “Confidential” designation, shall be without prejudice to B URKE , W ILLIAMS & S ORENSEN , LLP ATTORNEYS AT LAW LOS ANGELES - 10 - CASE NO.: 2:15-CV-04775-ODW-AGR STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 any claim that such item is “Confidential” and such Party shall not be held to have 2 waived any rights by such inadvertent production. In the event that any Document, 3 Testimony or Information that is subject to a “Confidential” designation is 4 inadvertently produced without such designation, the Party that inadvertently 5 produced the Document shall give written notice of such inadvertent production 6 within twenty-one (21) days of discovery of the inadvertent production, together 7 with a further copy of the subject Document, Testimony or Information designated 8 as “Confidential” (the “Inadvertent Production Notice”). Upon receipt of such 9 Inadvertent Production Notice, the Party that received the inadvertently produced 10 Document, Testimony or Information shall promptly destroy the inadvertently 11 produced Document, Testimony or Information and all copies thereof, or, at the 12 expense of the producing Party, return such together with all copies of such 13 Document, Testimony or Information to counsel for the producing Party and shall 14 retain only the “Confidential” designated Materials. Should the receiving Party 15 choose to destroy such inadvertently produced Document, Testimony or 16 Information, the receiving Party shall notify the producing Party in writing of such 17 destruction within ten (10) days of receipt of written notice of the inadvertent 18 production. This provision is not intended to apply to any inadvertent production of 19 any Information protected by attorney-client or work product privileges. In the 20 event that this provision conflicts with any applicable law regarding waiver of 21 confidentiality through the inadvertent production of Documents, Testimony or 22 Information, such law shall govern. 23 The disclosure or production of any Documents subject to a legally 24 recognized claim of privilege (including, without limitation, the attorney-client 25 privilege, work-product doctrine, or other applicable privilege) shall be protected 26 and excluded from argument from any party that: 27 a. the disclosure was not inadvertent by the Producing Party; 28 b. the Producing Party did not take reasonable steps to prevent the B URKE , W ILLIAMS & S ORENSEN , LLP ATTORNEYS AT LAW LOS ANGELES - 11 - CASE NO.: 2:15-CV-04775-ODW-AGR STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 disclosure of privileged Documents; 2 3 c. such Disclosure; and/or 4 5 the Producing Party did not take reasonable or timely steps to rectify d. such disclosure acts as a waiver of applicable privileges or protections associated with such Documents. 6 7 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE 8 PROTECTED MATERIAL 9 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain 10 inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other 11 protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal 12 Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify 13 whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for 14 production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 15 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure 16 of a communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work 17 product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated 18 protective order submitted to the court. 19 20 21 22 23 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. 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this 24 Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to 25 disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in 26 this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on 27 any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective 28 Order. B URKE , W ILLIAMS & S ORENSEN , LLP ATTORNEYS AT LAW LOS ANGELES - 12 - CASE NO.: 2:15-CV-04775-ODW-AGR STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any 2 Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material 3 may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the 4 specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected Material 5 under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information 6 in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court. 7 8 13. 9 FINAL DISPOSITION After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 60 10 days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must 11 return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As 12 used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, 13 compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the 14 Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the 15 Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if 16 not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that 17 (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was 18 returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any 19 copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or 20 capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel 21 are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, 22 deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition 23 and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert 24 work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival 25 copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective 26 Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION). 27 28 B URKE , W ILLIAMS & S ORENSEN , LLP ATTORNEYS AT LAW LOS ANGELES 14.
