CV16-5863-DMG (AGRx) PROTECTIVE ORDER v. 15 COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES; 16 SHERIFF JOHN SCOTT; and DOES 130, inclusive, 17 Defendants. 18 [Assigned to Judge Dolly M Gee Courtroom "7"] 19 20 21 I. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS 22 Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential, 23 proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public 24 disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may 25 be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to 26 enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this 27 Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to 28 discovery and that the protection it affords form public disclosure and use extends 1 only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment 2 under the applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth 3 in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to 4 file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the 5 procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party 6 seeks permission from the court to file material under seal. 300 SOUTH GRAND AVENUE, SUITE 1300 LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA 90071 TELEPHONE (213) 426-2000 A. 8 HURRELL CANTRALL LLP 7 This action is likely to involve peace officer information including: addresses GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT 9 and telephone numbers of County of Los Angeles ("COLA") employees, employee 10 and personnel records, internal affairs and administrative investigation reports and 11 materials, and all materials that constitute or embody personnel records and/or 12 materials that are entitled to privileges under applicable laws, including the official 13 information privilege, statutes, case decisions, or common law, or information 14 otherwise generally unavailable to the public. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of 15 information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of 16 discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties are entitled to keep 17 confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonably necessary uses of 18 such material in preparation for an in the conduct of trial, to address their handling 19 at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such 20 information is justified in this matter. It is in the intent of the parties that 21 information will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that 22 nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a 23 confidential, non-public matter, and there is good cause why it should not be part of 24 the public record of this case. 25 Since the same law firms are involved in the state action, Goran v. County of 26 Los Angeles, which has similar issues and documents, it is agreed discovery in this 27 action may be used in the Goran case subject to the terms of this Stipulation and 28 Protective Order, and any protective order entered into in the Goran case. Plaintiff -2- 1 shall execute the attached Acknowledgement and Agreement to be Bound, 2 indicating his understanding of the terms of the instant protective order and 3 agreement to have discovery pertaining to him used in the Goran matter. 4 II. DEFINITIONS 5 2.1 Action: this pending federal lawsuit. 6 2.2 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the designation 7 of information or items under this Order. 300 SOUTH GRAND AVENUE, SUITE 1300 LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA 90071 TELEPHONE (213) 426-2000 HURRELL CANTRALL LLP 8 2.3 "CONFIDENTIAL" Information or Items: information (regardless of 9 how it is generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for 10 protection under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), as specified above in the 11 Good Cause Statement. 12 2.4 Counsel: Outside Counsel of Record and House Counsel (as well as 13 their support staff). 14 2.5 Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates information or 15 items that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as 16 "CONFIDENTIAL." 17 2.6 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless 18 of the medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, 19 among other things, testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced or 20 generated in disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter. 21 2.7 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter 22 pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as 23 an expert witness or as a consultant in this Action. 24 2.8 House Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a party to this Action. 25 House Counsel does not include Outside Counsel or Record or any other outside 26 counsel. 27 2.9 Non-Party: any natural person, partnership, corporation, or association, 28 or other legal entity not named as a Party to this action. -3- 1 2.10 Outside Counsel of Record: attorneys who are not employees of a party 2 to this Action but are retained to represent or advise a party to this Action and have 3 appeared in this Action on behalf of that party or are affiliated with a law firm which 4 has appeared on behalf of that party, and includes support staff. 5 2.11 Party: any party to this Action, including all of its officers, directors, 6 employees, consultants, retained experts, and Outside Counsel of Record (and their 7 support staffs). 300 SOUTH GRAND AVENUE, SUITE 1300 LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA 90071 TELEPHONE (213) 426-2000 HURRELL CANTRALL LLP 8 2.12 Producing Party: a Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or 9 Discovery Material in this Action. 10 2.13 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation support 11 services (e.g. photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or 12 demonstrations, and organizing, storing, ore retrieving data in any form or medium) 13 and their employees and subcontractors. 14 2.14 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is 15 designated as "CONFIDENTIAL." 16 2.15 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material 17 from a Producing Party. 18 III. SCOPE 19 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only 20 Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or 21 extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or 22 compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or 23 presentations by parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. 24 However, this Stipulation and Order does not apply to items in discovery 25 produced in any other litigation, without a confidentiality or protective order, or 26 otherwise available to the general public outside of discovery, e.g., produced in 27 court documents in other lawsuits, or in the media. 28 Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the -4- 1 trial judge. This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial. 2 IV. DURATION 3 Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations 4 imposed by this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees 5 otherwise in writing or a court order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be 6 deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in this Action and 7 the Goran case, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the 300 SOUTH GRAND AVENUE, SUITE 1300 LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA 90071 TELEPHONE (213) 426-2000 HURRELL CANTRALL LLP 8 completion and exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of 9 this Action and the Goran case, including the time limits for filing any motions or 10 applications for extension of time pursuant to applicable law. 11 Nothing in this stipulation grants Counsel the right to waive any privileges or 12 rights to confidentiality held by COLA or any current or former employee of 13 COLA; likewise, nothing in this stipulation is to be deemed as a waiver of any 14 governmental privilege or protected information to which plaintiff may have access 15 in light of his former or current position with COLA. 16 V. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 17 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. 18 Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under 19 this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that 20 qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for 21 protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written 22 communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, 23 items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept 24 unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order. 25 Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations 26 that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper 27 purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose 28 unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating -5- 1 Party to sanctions. 2 If it comes to a Designating Party's attention that information or items that it 3 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must 4 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation. 5 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in 6 this Order (see e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise 7 stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection 300 SOUTH GRAND AVENUE, SUITE 1300 LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA 90071 TELEPHONE (213) 426-2000 HURRELL CANTRALL LLP 8 under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or 9 produced. 10 Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 11 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, 12 but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that 13 the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend "CONFIDENTIAL" (hereinafter 14 "CONFIDENTIAL legend"), to each page that contains protected material. If only a 15 portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing 16 Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate 17 markings in the margins). The “Confidential Legend” shall not block out or 18 obliterate any document. 19 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection 20 need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated 21 which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and 22 before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be 23 deemed "CONFIDENTIAL." After the inspecting Party has identified the 24 documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which 25 documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which 26 documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, 27 before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the 28 "CONFIDENTIAL legend" to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a -6- 1 portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing 2 Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate 3 markings in the margins). 4 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identify the 5 Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the deposition all 6 protected testimony. 7 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for 300 SOUTH GRAND AVENUE, SUITE 1300 LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA 90071 TELEPHONE (213) 426-2000 HURRELL CANTRALL LLP 8 any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the 9 exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the legend 10 "CONFIDENTIAL." If only a portion or portions of the information warrants 11 protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected 12 portion(s). 13 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent 14 failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive 15 the Designating Party's right to secure protection under this Order for such material. 16 Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable 17 efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this 18 Order. 19 VI. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 20 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a 21 designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court's 22 Scheduling Order. 23 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute 24 resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq. 25 6.3 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on 26 the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper 27 purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other 28 parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating -7- 1 Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall 2 continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is 3 entitled under the Producing Party's designation until the Court rules on the 4 challenge. 5 VII. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 6 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that 7 is disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this 300 SOUTH GRAND AVENUE, SUITE 1300 LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA 90071 TELEPHONE (213) 426-2000 HURRELL CANTRALL LLP 8 Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action or the 9 Goran case. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of 10 persons and under the conditions described in this Order. When this Action and the 11 Goran case have been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the 12 provisions of Section 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION). 13 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a 14 location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons 15 authorized under this Order. 16 7.2 Disclosure of "CONFIDENTIAL" Information or Items. Unless 17 otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a 18 Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated 19 "CONFIDENTIAL" only to: 20 (a) the Receiving Party's Outside Counsel or Record in this Action, as well as 21 employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to 22 disclose the information for this Action; 23 (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the 24 Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action; 25 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom 26 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the 27 "Acknowledgement and Agreement to Be Bound" (Exhibit A); 28 (d) the court and its personnel; -8- 1 (e) court reporters and their staff; 2 (f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional 3 Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have 4 signed the "Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound" (Exhibit A); 5 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a 6 custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information; 7 (h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the 300 SOUTH GRAND AVENUE, SUITE 1300 LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA 90071 TELEPHONE (213) 426-2000 HURRELL CANTRALL LLP 8 Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing party 9 requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit 1 hereto; and (2) they will 10 not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the 11 "Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound" (Exhibit A), unless otherwise 12 agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed 13 deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may 14 be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except 15 as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; 16 (i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, 17 mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions; and 18 (j) parties to this Action. 19 VIII. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED 20 PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION 21 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation 22 that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as 23 "CONFIDENTIAL," that Party must: 24 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall 25 include a copy of the subpoena or court order; 26 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to 27 issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena 28 or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of -9- 1 this Stipulated Protective Order; and 2 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued 3 by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. 4 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with 5 the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this 6 action as "CONFIDENTIAL" before a determination by the court from which the 7 subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party's 300 SOUTH GRAND AVENUE, SUITE 1300 LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA 90071 TELEPHONE (213) 426-2000 HURRELL CANTRALL LLP 8 permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking 9 protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions 10 should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action 11 to disobey a lawful directive from another court. 12 IX. A NON-PARTY'S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE 13 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION 14 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non- 15 Party in this Action and designated as "CONFIDENTIAL." Such information 16 produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the 17 remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be 18 construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections. 19 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to 20 produce a Non-Party's confidential information in its possession, and the Party is 21 subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party's 22 confidential information, then the Party shall: 23 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the non-Party 24 that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality 25 agreement with a Non-Party; 26 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated 27 Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reason 28 nable specific description of the information requested; and -10- 1 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non- 2 Party, if requested. 3 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within 14 4 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party 5 may produce the Non-Party's confidential information responsive to the discovery 6 request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall 7 not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the 300 SOUTH GRAND AVENUE, SUITE 1300 LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA 90071 TELEPHONE (213) 426-2000 HURRELL CANTRALL LLP 8 confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court. 9 Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and 10 expense of seeking protection in this Court of its Protected Material. 11 X. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 12 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed 13 Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this 14 Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in 15 writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts 16 to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or 17 persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, 18 and (d) request such person or persons to execute the "Acknowledgment and 19 Agreement to Be Bound" that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 20 XI. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE 21 PROTECTED MATERIAL 22 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain 23 inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, 24 the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil 25 Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever 26 procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production 27 without prior privilege review. 28 -11- 1 2 XII. MISCELLANEOUS 3 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any 4 person to seek its modification by the Court in the future. 5 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this 6 Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to 7 disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this 300 SOUTH GRAND AVENUE, SUITE 1300 LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA 90071 TELEPHONE (213) 426-2000 HURRELL CANTRALL LLP 8 Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any 9 ground to use in evidence of any of the other material covered by this Protective 10 Order. 11 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any 12 Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material 13 may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the 14 specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected Material 15 under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information 16 in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court. 17 XIII. FINAL DISPOSITION 18 After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 60 19 days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return 20 all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in 21 this subdivision, "all Protected Material" includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, 22 summaries, and any other formal reproducing or capturing any of the Protected 23 Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving 24 Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same 25 person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies 26 (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or 27 destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, 28 abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any -12- 1 of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to 2 retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing 3 transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert 4 reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such 5 materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or 6 constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in 7 Section 4. Any violation of this Order may be punished by monetary sanctions. 300 SOUTH GRAND AVENUE, SUITE 1300 LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA 90071 TELEPHONE (213) 426-2000 HURRELL CANTRALL LLP 8 9 10 IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD. 11 12 DATED: November 1, 2016 13 THE LAW OFFICES OF GOLDBERG AND GAGE By: /S/ Milad Sadr BRADLEY GAGE TERRY GOLDBERG MILAD SADR Attorneys for Plaintiff DAVE BETKEY 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 //// 24 25 //// 26 /// 27 28 -13- 1 DATED: November 1, 2016 2 HURRELL CANTRALL LLP By: /S/ Mariam Kaloustian THOMAS C.
