A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

Discovery directed toward the County of Los Angeles, Department of Public

13
14

Health is likely to involve production of confidential or private information for which

15

special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than

16
17
18
19

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

20
21

responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use

22

extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential

23

treatment under the applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set

24
25

forth in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them

26

to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the

27
28

procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party
seeks permission from the court to file material under seal.
2
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT

1
2

This subpoena served upon the County of Los Angeles, Department of Public

3
4
5
6

Health (“The Department”) seeks statements made to the Department by employees of
Plaintiff La Amapola and Defendant Honeyville Inc. which special protection from
public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecution of this action is

7
8
9
10

warranted. Such confidential materials and information consist of, among other things,
confidential statements and information otherwise generally unavailable to the public,
or which may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or

11
12

federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to expedite

13

the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over

14
15
16
17

confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties are
entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable
necessary uses of such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address

18
19

their handling at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective

20

order for such information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that

21
22
23
24

information will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing
be so designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a
confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part of

25
26
27

the public record of this case.

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

2

Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected

4
5

Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or presentations by Parties or their

18
19

for filing any motions or applications for extension of time pursuant to applicable law.
5.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

21
22
23
24

5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each
Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order
must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the

25
26

appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for protection only those

27

parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written communications that qualify so

28

that other portions of the material, documents, items, or communications for which
6
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1
2

protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.
Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations

3
4
5
6

that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose
(e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose
unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating Party

7
8
9
10

to sanctions.
If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it
designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must

11
12
13

promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.
5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this

14
15
16
17

Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated
or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this
Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or produced.

18
19

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

20

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

21
22
23
24

but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the
Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter
“CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that contains protected material. If only a

25
26

portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing

27

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

28

markings in the margins).
7
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection

2

need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated

3
4
5
6

which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before
the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed
“CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants

7
8
9
10

copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or
portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the
specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to

11
12

each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material

13

on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the

14
15
16
17

protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
All of the material produced by a Non-Party in response to a deposition
subpoena shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL” and held as such by all Parties for one

18
19

week from the date of production. Any Party may, within one week of the date of

20

production, designate documents, or portions thereof, which qualify for protection

21
22
23
24

under this order as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Within one week, the Designating Party
must: (1) identify the document, or portion thereof, by Bates Number (if available); (2)
affix the “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains Protected Material (as

25
26

set out above); and (3) send the identified and marked pages to each Party in the

27

litigation via e-mail (or any other method of transmission mutually agreed to between

28

the Parties).

Any documents, or portions thereof, which are not designated by a Party
8
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

as “CONFIDENTIAL” within one week of the date of production will no longer be

2

considered as “CONFIDENTIAL” except as otherwise provided for in this Order (see,

3
4
5
6

e.g., Section 5.3 below).
(b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identify the
Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the deposition all

7
8
9
10

protected testimony.
(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any
other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior

11
12

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

13

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

14
15
16
17

protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected
portion(s).
5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure

18
19

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

20

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

21
22
23
24

timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to
assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order.
6.

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

25
26
27

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 Scheduling Order.

28

6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution
9
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq., however, the parties must engage in at least two

2

attempts to resolve the dispute without Court involvement consistent with the pre-

3
4
5
6

filing conference of counsel required by Local Rule 37-1
6.3 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the
Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose (e.g.,

7
8
9
10

to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose
the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived or
withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to afford the

11
12

material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing

13

Party’s designation until the Court rules on the challenge.

14
15
16
17

7.

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is
disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this

18
19

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

20

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

21
22
23
24

conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a Receiving
Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION).
Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a

25
26

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

27

authorized under this Order.

28

7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise
10
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

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

2

Party may disclose any information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

3
4
5
6

(a) 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 necessary to
disclose the information for this Action;

7
8
9
10

(b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the
Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action;
(c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure

11
12

is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the “Acknowledgment

13

and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

14
15
16
17

(d) the court and its personnel;
(e) court reporters and their staff;
(f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional Vendors

18
19

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

20

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

21
22
23
24

(g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a
custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information;
(h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the Action

25
26

to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing party requests

27

that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit 1 hereto; and (2) they will not be

28

permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the “Acknowledgment
11
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating

2

Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to

3
4
5
6

depositions that reveal Protected Material may be separately bound by the court
reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated
Protective Order; and

7
8
9
10

(i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, mutually
agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions.
8.

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED

11
12
13

PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION
If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that

14
15
16
17

compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as
“CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:
(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall

18
19
20

include a copy of the subpoena or court order;
(b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to

21
22
23
24

issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or
order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this
Stipulated Protective Order; and

25
26
27

(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by
the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

28

If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with
12
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

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

2

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

3
4
5
6

or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The
Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court
of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions should be construed as

7
8
9

authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action to disobey a lawful
directive from another court.

10

9.

A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE

11
12

PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION

13

(a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-

14
15
16
17

Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced
by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief
provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting

18
19

a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.

20

(b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce

21
22
23
24

a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an
agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information,
then the Party shall:

25
26

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

27

or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-

28

Party;
13
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

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

2

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

3
4
5
6

description of the information requested; and
(3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party, if
requested.

7
8
9
10

(c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within 14
days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may
produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request.

11
12

If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce

13

any information in its possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality

14
15
16
17

agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court. Absent a court
order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking
protection in this court of its Protected Material.

18
19

10.

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

20

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

21
22
23
24

Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this
Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing
the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve

25
26

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

27

whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, and (d)

28

request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be
14
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1
2

Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
11.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

3
4
5
6

PROTECTED MATERIAL
When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain
inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection,

7
8
9
10

the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil
Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure
may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior

11
12

privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the

13

parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or

14
15
16
17

information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the
parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted to
the court.

18
19

12.

MISCELLANEOUS

20

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

21
22
23
24

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

25
26

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

27

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

28

ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order.
15
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 may

3
4
5
6

only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific
Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected Material under seal is
denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in the public

7
8
9
10

record unless otherwise instructed by the court.
13.

FINAL DISPOSITION

After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 60

11
12

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

13

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

14
15
16
17

subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations,
summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected
Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party

18
19

must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person

20

or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by

21
22
23
24

category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed
and (2)affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts,
compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of the

25
26

Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an

27

archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts,

28

legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports,
16
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials

2

contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute

3
4
5
6

Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4
(DURATION).
14. Any violation of this Order may be punished by any and all appropriate

7
8
9
10

measures including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary
sanctions.
IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.
