PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

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. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to
enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this
Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to
discovery, and that the protection 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.
B.

GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT

The parties submit that GOOD CAUSE exists to enter the proposed
protective order to balance the defendants’ concerns that the documents consist of
confidential, private, and privileged information concerning the parties to this
litigation as well as third parties who are not parties to this litigation. Furthermore,
this proposed protective order was created for the purpose of protecting certain
information that may be subject to the official information privilege, law
enforcement privilege and the right to privacy, as protected by the California and
United States Constitution, as well as to prevent against the broadcast or
dissemination of videotaped deposition testimony by any party, balanced with
plaintiffs’ right to discovery in this litigation. The parties agree that all documents,
tangible things, and videos marked confidential and produced pursuant to this
protective order are subject to the terms of this protective unless otherwise ordered
-2STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

by the Court.

2

Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt

3

resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately

4

protect information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the

5

parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in preparation for

6

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

7

serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is justified in this

8

matter. It is the intent of the parties that information will not be designated as

9

confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good

10

faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and

11

there is good cause why it should not be part of the public record of this case.

12
13
14

C.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF PROCEDURE FOR FILING UNDER
SEAL

The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this

15

Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information

16

under seal; Local Civil Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed

17

and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court

18

to file material under seal.

19

There is a strong presumption that the public has a right of access to judicial

20

proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non-dispositive

21

motions, good cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See Kamakana

22

v. City and County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th Cir. 2006), Phillips v.

23

Gen. Motors Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar-Welbon v.

24

Sony Electrics, Inc., 187 F.R.D. 576, 577 (E.D. Wis. 1999) (even stipulated

25

protective orders require good cause showing), and a specific showing of good

26

cause or compelling reasons with proper evidentiary support and legal justification,

27

must be made with respect to Protected Material that a party seeks to file under

28

seal. The parties’ mere designation of Disclosure or Discovery Material as
-3STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

CONFIDENTIAL does not—without the submission of competent evidence by

2

declaration, establishing that the material sought to be filed under seal qualifies as

3

confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable—constitute good cause.

4

Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion or trial, then

5

compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must be shown, and the

6

relief sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the specific interest to be protected.

7

See Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Ass’n, 605 F.3d 665, 677-79 (9th Cir. 2010). For

8

each item or type of information, document, or thing sought to be filed or

9

introduced under seal in connection with a dispositive motion or trial, the party

10

seeking protection must articulate compelling reasons, supported by specific facts

11

and legal justification, for the requested sealing order. Again, competent evidence

12

supporting the application to file documents under seal must be provided by

13

declaration.

14

26

“CONFIDENTIAL.”

27

///
-5STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

3.

SCOPE

2

The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only

3

Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or

4

extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or

5

compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or

6

presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material.

7

Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the trial

8

judge. This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial. Pursuant

9

to the Court’s Standing Order at Paragraph 31, it is acknowledged that it is the

10

Court, not the parties, that determines whether a document can be filed under seal.

11

Thus, this proposed protective order cannot, and does not, attempt to pre-authorize

12

any party to file documents under seal. The parties acknowledge that they are to

13

strictly comply with Local Rule 79-5 and its subdivisions.

14

4.

DURATION
Once a case proceeds to trial, information that was designated as

15
16

CONFIDENTIAL or maintained pursuant to this protective order used or

17

introduced as an exhibit at trial becomes public and will be presumptively

18

available to all members of the public, including the press, unless compelling

19

reasons supported by specific factual findings to proceed otherwise are made to the

20

trial judge in advance of the trial. See Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1180-81

21

(distinguishing “good cause” showing for sealing documents produced in

22

discovery from “compelling reasons” standard when merits-related documents are

23

part of court record). Accordingly, the terms of this protective order do not extend

24

beyond the commencement of the trial.

25

5.

26

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1

Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

27

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

28

this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that
-6STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

6

Mass, indiscriminate or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

Designating Party to sanctions.

11

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

12

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

13

promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.

14

5.2

Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in

15

this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise

16

stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection

17

under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or

18

produced.

19
20

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
(a)

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

21

documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial

22

proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend

23

“CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that

24

contains protected material. If only a portion 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

A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for
inspection need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party
-7STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

has indicated which documents it would like copied and produced. During the

2

inspection and before the designation, all of the material made available for

3

inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has

4

identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must

5

determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this

6

Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must

7

affix the “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains Protected Material.

8

If only a portion of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing

9

Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making

10

appropriate markings in the margins).

11

(b)

for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party

12

identifies the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of

13

the deposition all protected testimony.

14

(c)

for information produced in some form other than documentary

15

and for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent

16

place on the exterior of the container or containers in which the information is

17

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

18

information warrants protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable,

19

shall identify the protected portion(s).

20

5.3

Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the

25

provisions of this Order.

26

6.

27
28

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
-8STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

Scheduling Order.

2
3

6.2

Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute

resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq.
6.3

4

The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be

5

on the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper

6

purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other

7

parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating

8

Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall

9

continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is

10

entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the

11

challenge.

12

7.

13

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1

Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that

14

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

15

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

16

Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and

17

under the conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been

18

terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below

19

(FINAL DISPOSITION).

20

Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a

21

location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons

22

authorized under this Order.

23

7.2

Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless

24

otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a

25

Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated

26

“CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

27

(a)

28

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
-9STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

necessary to disclose the information for this Action;

2

(b)

the officers, directors, and employees (including House

3

Counsel) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for

4

this Action;

5

(c)

Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to

6

whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the

7

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

8

(d)

the court and its personnel;

9

(e)

court reporters and their staff;

10

(f)

professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and

11

Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action

12

and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit

13

A);

14

(g)

the author or recipient of a document containing the

15

information or a custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the

16

information;

17

(h)

during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses,

18

in the Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the

19

deposing party requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit 1 hereto;

20

and (2) they will not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they

21

sign the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless

22

otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of

23

transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected

24

Material may be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed

25

to anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and

26

(i)

any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting

27

personnel, mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement

28

discussions.
- 10 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

8.

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED

2

IN OTHER LITIGATION

3

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

4

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

5

“CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:
(a)

6
7

promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such

notification shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order;
(b)

8

promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena

9

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

10

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

11

include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and
(c)

12

cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be

13

pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

14

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

15

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

16

as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the

17

subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s

18

permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking

19

protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions

20

should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action

21

to disobey a lawful directive from another court.

22

9.

23
24

A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE
PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION
(a)

The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced

25

by a Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such

26

information produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected

27

by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions

28

should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional
- 11 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

protections.

2

(b)

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

3

request, to produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and

4

the Party is subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-

5

Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall:

6

(1)

promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the

7

Non-Party that some or all of the information requested is subject to a

8

confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party;

9

(2)

promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the

10

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

11

reasonably specific description of the information requested; and

12
13

(3)

make the information requested available for inspection

by the Non-Party, if requested.

14

(c)

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

15

within 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the

16

Receiving Party may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive

17

to the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the

18

Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession or control that

19

is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a

20

determination by the court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party

21

shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in this court of its

22

Protected Material.

23

10.

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

24

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

25

disclosed Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized

26

under this Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a)

27

notify in writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its

28

best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform
- 12 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms

2

of this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the

3

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit

4

A.

5

11.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

6

PROTECTED MATERIAL

7

When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain

8

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

9

protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal

10

Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify

11

whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for

12

production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence

13

502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure

14

of a communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or

15

work product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the

16

stipulated protective order submitted to the court.

17

12.

18
19
20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

Order.

26

12.3 Filing Protected Material. All Parties and their Counsel agree that if a

27

Party intends to file Protected Material with the Court, for any reason, that Party

28

and Counsel shall request permission from the Court to file the Protected Material
- 13 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

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

2

comply with Local Civil Rule 79-5. Protected Material may only be filed under

3

seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected

4

Material at issue. If a Party’s request to file Protected Material under seal is denied

5

by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in the public record

6

unless otherwise instructed by the court.

7

13.

FINAL DISPOSITION

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts,

12

compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such

24
