1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 11 12 13 14 GRACEHOUSE GROUP, LLC, a Texas Limited Liability Company, and CHRISTINE D’CLARIO, an individual; STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER Plaintiffs, 15 16 Case No.: :18-cv-00268-MWFAGR vs. 17 18 19 20 ISAAC MORALEJA, an individual, MUSICA CRISTIANA TV, S.L., an unknown form of business entity, OMNIA MEDIA, INC., a Delaware corporation, 21 Defendants. 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 4837-6207-5249.1 1 ORDER 1 1. A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 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. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the 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. 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT This action is likely to involve trade secrets, customer and pricing lists and other valuable research, development, commercial, financial, technical and/or proprietary information for which special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such confidential and proprietary materials and information consist of, among other things, confidential business or financial information, information regarding confidential business practices, or other confidential research, development, or commercial information (including information implicating privacy rights of third parties), information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or which may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of 4837-6207-5249.1 2 ORDER 1 information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of 2 discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties are entitled to 3 keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses 4 of such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their 5 handling at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order 6 for such information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that 7 information will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that 8 nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in 9 a confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause why it should not be 10 part of the public record of this case. 11 12 2. DEFINITIONS 13 2.1 Action: This pending federal law suit. 14 2.2 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the 15 16 designation of information or items under this Order. 2.3 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information (regardless of 17 how it is generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for 18 protection under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), and as specified above in 19 the Good Cause Statement. 20 21 22 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 23 items that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as 24 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 25 ONLY.” 26 27 2.6 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless of the medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, 28 4837-6207-5249.1 3 ORDER 1 among other things, testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced 2 or generated in disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter. 3 2.7 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter 4 pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve 5 as an expert witness or as a consultant in this Action. 6 2.8 “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” 7 Information or Items: extremely sensitive Information or Items, the disclosure of 8 which to another Party or Non-Party would create a substantial risk of serious harm 9 that could not be avoided by less restrictive means. 10 2.9 House Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a party to this Action. 11 House Counsel does not include Outside Counsel of Record or any other outside 12 counsel. 13 14 15 2.10 Non-Party: any natural person, partnership, corporation, association, or other legal entity not named as a Party to this action. 2.11 Outside Counsel of Record: attorneys who are not employees of a 16 party to this Action but are retained to represent or advise a party to this Action 17 and have appeared in this Action on behalf of that party or are affiliated with a law 18 firm which has appeared on behalf of that party, and includes support staff. 19 2.12 Party: any party to this Action, including all of its officers, directors, 20 employees, consultants, retained experts, and Outside Counsel of Record (and their 21 support staffs). 22 23 24 2.13 Producing Party: a Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or Discovery Material in this Action. 2.14 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation 25 support services (e.g., photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or 26 demonstrations, and organizing, storing, or retrieving data in any form or medium) 27 and their employees and subcontractors. 28 2.15 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is 4837-6207-5249.1 4 ORDER 1 designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 2 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” 2.16 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material 3 4 from a Producing Party. 5 6 3. SCOPE 7 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only 8 Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or 9 extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or 10 compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or 11 presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the 12 13 trial judge. This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial. 14 15 4. DURATION Once a case proceeds to trial, all of the information that was designated as 16 17 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL -- ATTORNEYS’ EYES 18 ONLY” or maintained pursuant to this protective order becomes public and will be 19 presumptively available to all members of the public, including the press, unless 20 compelling reasons supported by specific factual findings to proceed otherwise are 21 made to the trial judge in advance of the trial. See Kamakana v. City and County of 22 Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1180-81 (9th Cir. 2006) (distinguishing “good cause” 23 showing for sealing documents produced in discovery from “compelling reasons” 24 standard when merits-related documents are part of court record). Accordingly, the 25 terms of this protective order do not extend beyond the commencement of the trial. 26 27 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 28 4837-6207-5249.1 5 ORDER 1 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. 2 Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under 3 this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that 4 qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for 5 protection only those parts of material, documents, items or oral or written 6 communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, 7 items or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept 8 unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order. 9 Mass, indiscriminate or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations 10 that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper 11 purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to 12 impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the 13 Designating Party to sanctions. 14 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it 15 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must 16 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation. 17 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in 18 this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise 19 stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection 20 under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or 21 produced. 22 Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 23 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic 24 documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial 25 proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend 26 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL -- ATTORNEYS’ EYES 27 ONLY” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL” legend or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL - 28 - ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY legend”), to each page that contains protected 4837-6207-5249.1 6 ORDER 1 material. If only a portion of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the 2 Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making 3 appropriate markings in the margins). A Party or Non-Party that makes original 4 documents available for inspection need not designate them for protection until 5 after the inspecting Party has indicated which documents it would like copied and 6 produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all of the material 7 made available for inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the 8 inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the 9 Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for 10 protection under this Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the 11 Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL legend,” or “HIGHLY 12 CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY legend” to each page that 13 contains Protected Material. If only a portion of the material on a page qualifies for 14 protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) 15 (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). 16 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identifies 17 the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the 18 deposition all protected testimony. 19 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for 20 any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the 21 exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the legend 22 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL -- ATTORNEYS’ EYES 23 ONLY.” If only a portion or portions of the information warrants protection, the 24 Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s). 25 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent 26 failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive 27 the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such 28 material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make 4837-6207-5249.1 7 ORDER 1 reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the 2 provisions of this Order. 3 4 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 6.1 5 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a 6 designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s 7 Scheduling Order. 6.2 8 9 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq. 6.3 10 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be 11 on the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper 12 purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other 13 parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating 14 Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall 15 continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is 16 entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the 17 challenge. 18 19 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 20 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is 21 disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this 22 Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such 23 Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under 24 the conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a 25 Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL 26 DISPOSITION). 27 28 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons 4837-6207-5249.1 8 ORDER 1 authorized under this Order. 2 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless 3 otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a 4 Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated 5 “CONFIDENTIAL” only to: 6 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as 7 well as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably 8 necessary to disclose the information for this Action; 9 10 11 (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 12 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the 13 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 14 (d) the court and its personnel; 15 (e) court reporters and their staff; 16 (f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional 17 Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have 18 signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 19 20 21 (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 22 Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing 23 party requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit 1 hereto; and (2) 24 they will not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the 25 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise 26 agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed 27 deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may 28 4837-6207-5249.1 9 ORDER 1 be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone 2 except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and (i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, 3 4 mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions. 5 6 7 8 9 7.3 Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL -- ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” only to: 10 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well 11 as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably 12 necessary to disclose the information for this Action; 13 (b) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom 14 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the 15 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 16 (c) the court and its personnel; 17 (d) private court reporters and their staff to whom disclosure is reasonably 18 necessary for this Action and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and 19 Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 20 (e) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional 21 Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have 22 signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 23 24 (f) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a 25 custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information; and (g) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, 26 mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions. 27 8. 28 PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION 4837-6207-5249.1 10 ORDER If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation 1 2 that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as 3 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL -- ATTORNEYS’ EYES 4 ONLY,” that Party must: (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification 5 6 shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order; (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order 7 8 to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the 9 subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall 10 include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be 11 12 pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. 13 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with 14 the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this 15 action as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL -- ATTORNEYS’ 16 EYES ONLY” 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 23 9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE 24 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION 25 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a 26 Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 27 CONFIDENTIAL -- ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” Such information 28 produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the 4837-6207-5249.1 11 ORDER 1 remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be 2 construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections. (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to 3 4 produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is 5 subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s 6 confidential information, then the Party shall: (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party 7 8 that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality 9 agreement with a Non-Party; (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated 10 11 Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably 12 specific description of the information requested; and (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the 13 14 Non-Party, if requested. (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within 15 16 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving 17 Party may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the 18 discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving 19 Party shall not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject 20 to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the 21 court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and 22 expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material. 23 24 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 25 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has 26 disclosed Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized 27 under this Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) 28 notify in writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its 4837-6207-5249.1 12 ORDER 1 best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform 2 the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms 3 of this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the 4 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit 5 A. 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 17 work product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the 18 stipulated protective order submitted to the court. 19 20 21 22 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. 23 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. 4837-6207-5249.1 13 ORDER 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any 1 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 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 archival 24 copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this 25 Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION). 26 14. Any violation of this Order may be punished by any and all 27 appropriate measures including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or 28 monetary sanctions. 4837-6207-5249.1 14 ORDER 1 IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD. 2 Dated: August 29, 2018 3 /s/ Richard P.
