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.

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.

21 extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or
22 compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or

Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations
4 imposed by this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees

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

14 location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons
15 authorized under this Order.
16

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

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.

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-

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.
