INTRODUCTION
21
A.
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 from public disclosure and use extends
Purposes and Limitations
1
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 procedures
5
that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks
6
permission from the court to file material under seal.
7
B.
8
This action is likely to involve production of confidential, security-related, or
9
Good Cause Statement
private information for which special protection from public disclosure and from
10
use for any purpose other than the defense or prosecution of this action is
11
warranted. Such confidential and security materials and information mayconsist of:
12
(1) California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (“CDCR”)
13
records regarding the internal investigation into the grievances made by Plaintiff
14
Brian Keith Wearren, the disclosure of which may cause harm to the safety and
15
security of prison officials, the public, or Defendant J. Gofferman. All birthdates,
16
social security numbers, and identifying information of confidential informants will
17
be redacted;
18
(2) Records regarding processes, operations, investigations or other
19
information relating to CDCR prison management, disclosure of which may have
20
the effect of causing harm to the safety and security of prison officials, the public,
21
or Defendant. This may include, but is not limited to, institutional records,
22
photographs, audio or video recordings, witness statements, and emails and other
23
written correspondence. Confidential information is also personal information of
24
Defendant, the disclosure of which places the safety of Defendant, who is a current
25
peace officer, and his family members at risk. Confidential information also
26
includes all personal identifying information of any third party entitled to
27
confidential protection of personal identifying information under California and/or
28
applicable federal law. All birthdates, social security numbers, home and work
2
1
telephone numbers, information about family members, and material identifying a
2
confidential informant will be redacted.
(3) Portions of Plaintiff’s prison records that includes investigation results
3
4
containing confidential information related to third parties that is subject to privacy
5
rights, such as other inmates’ names or identifying information;
(4) Any material that would reveal the identity of a confidential informant;
6
7
8
9
10
11
and
(5) Information not generally made available 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.
(6) There is further good cause for protection of certain records as “highly
12
confidential – for in-office review only,” (see number II, 2.4 below) for certain
13
records of confidentially conducted investigations within the prison. These
14
investigations were conducted confidentially, including testimony from inmate and
15
officer witnesses made under assurances of confidentiality. Further, such
16
confidential investigations demonstrate both prison protocols and investigation
17
procedures, which could put correctional staff and inmates at risk if they were
18
released. Accordingly, due to the serious confidential nature of these documents,
19
there is good cause for a higher designation and more controlled dissemination of
20
the information in these documents.
21
Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt
22
resolution of disputes over confidentiality or discovery materials, to adequately
23
protect information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the
24
parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in preparation for
25
and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of the litigation, and
26
serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is justified in this
27
matter. It is the intent of the parties that information will not be designated as
28
confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good
3
1
faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and
2
there is good cause why it should not be part of the public record in this case.

18
V.
DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
19
5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.
20
Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection
21
under this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material
22
that qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must
23
designate for protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or
24
written communications that qualify so that other portions of the material,
25
documents, items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not
26
swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.
27
28
Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations
that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper
6
1
purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to
2
impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the
3
Designating Party to sanctions.
4
If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that
5
were designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party
6
must promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable
7
designation.
8
9
5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations.
Except as otherwise provided in
this Order (see, e.g. second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise
10
stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection
11
under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or
12
produced.
13
14
Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
(a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic
15
documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial
16
proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend
17
“CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that
18
contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page
19
qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected
20
portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings on the margins).
21
A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection
22
need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated
23
which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and
24
before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be
25
deemed “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – FOR IN-OFFICE REVIEW ONLY.”
26
After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and
27
produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions
28
thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the
7
1
specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL
2
legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions
3
of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party must also
4
clearly identify the protected portions(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings on
5
the margins).
6
(b) for testimony given in depositions, that the Designating Party
7
identify the Disclosure or Discovery Material to be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL” on
8
the record, before the close of the deposition for all protected testimony.
9
(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and
10
for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on
11
the exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the
12
legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information
13
warrants protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the
14
protected portion(s).
15
(d) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic
16
documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial
17
proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend “HIGHLY
18
CONFIDENTIAL – FOR IN-OFFICE REVIEW ONLY” (hereinafter “HIGHLY
19
CONFIDENTIAL – FOR IN-OFFICE REVIEW ONLY legend”), to each page that
20
contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page
21
qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected
22
portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings on the margins). Any documents
23
identified with the legend “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – FOR IN-OFFICE
24
REVIEW ONLY” will only be released for review within the Producing Party’s
25
office and cannot be removed, photographed, or otherwise copied.
26
The Producing Party will inform the Receiving Party that the information is
27
identified as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – FOR IN-OFFICE REVIEW ONLY”
28
and thus cannot be produced as a document marked “CONFIDENTIAL” would be
8
1
produced. The Producing Party and Receiving Party will then reasonable work to
2
make arrangements by which the Receiving Party can travel to the Producing
3
Party’s office to review the document within Producing Party’s office.
4
(e) for information produced in some form other than documentary and
5
for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on
6
the exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the
7
legend “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – FOR IN-OFFICE REVIEW ONLY.” If
8
only a portion or portions of the information warrants protection, the Producing
9
Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s). Any such
10
non-documentary tangible items identified with the legend “HIGHLY
11
CONFIDENTIAL – FOR IN-OFFICE REVIEW ONLY” will only be released for
12
review within the Producing Party’s office and cannot be removed, photographed,
13
or otherwise copied.
14
The Producing Party will inform the Receiving Party that the information is
15
identified as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – FOR IN-OFFICE REVIEW ONLY”
16
and thus cannot be produced as an item marked “CONFIDENTIAL” would be
17
produced. The Producing Party and Receiving Party will then reasonable work to
18
make arrangements by which the Receiving Party can travel to the Producing
19
Party’s office to review the document within Producing Party’s office.
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
27
28
9
1
2
VI. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIAL DESIGNATIONS
6.1 Timing of Challenges.
Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a
3
designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s
4
Scheduling Order.
5
6
7
6.2 Meet and Confer.
The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute
resolution process under Local Rule 37.1, et seq.
6.3. Burden of Persuasion.
The burden of persuasion in any such challenge
8
proceeding shall be on the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those
9
made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and
10
burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless
11
the Designating Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all
12
parties shall continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to
13
which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on
14
the challenge.
15
VII. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
16
7.1. Basic Principles.
A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is
17
disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this
18
Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such
19
Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the
20
conditions described in this Order. When the Action is terminated, a Receiving
21
Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL
22
DISPOSITION).
23
Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a
24
location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to persons
25
authorized under this Order.
26
27
7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items.
Unless
otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a
28
10
1
Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated
2
“CONFIDENTIAL” only to:
3
(a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as
4
well as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably
5
necessary to disclose this information for this Action;
6
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 by this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom
disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the
“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
11
(d) the court and its personnel;
12
(e) court reports and their staff;
13
(f)
professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional
14
Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have
15
signed the “Acknowledgement and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
16
17
(g) the author or recipient or a document containing the information or
a custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information;
18
(h) during their depositions, non-party witnesses and attorneys for non-
19
party witnesses, in the Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided
20
the non-party witness and attorneys for the non-party witness have signed the
21
“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise
22
agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed
23
deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material must
24
be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone
25
except as permitted under this Protective Order; and
26
(i)
any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel,
27
mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions or
28
appointed by the Court.
11

VIII. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN
OTHER LITIGATION
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:
6
7
8
9
(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification
shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order unless prohibited by law;
(b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or
order to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the
10
subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall
11
include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and
12
13
14
(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be
pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with
15
the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this
16
action 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
IX. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN
THIS LITIGATION
23
24
(a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a
25
Non-Party in this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” as well as
26
information released for review under the designation as “HIGHLY
27
CONFIDENTIAL – FOR IN-OFFICE REVIEW ONLY.” Such information
28
produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the
12
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-
7
8
Party that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality
9
agreement with a Non-Party;
(2) promptly notify 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 14
15
16
days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party
17
may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery
18
request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall
19
not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the
20
confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court.
21
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
X.
24
UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed
25
Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this
26
Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in
27
writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best
28
efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the
13
1
person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of
2
this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the
3
“Acknowledgement and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit
4
A.
5
XI. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE
PROTECTED MATERIAL
6
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 work
15
product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated
16
protective order submitted to the court provided the Court so allows.
17
XII. MISCELLANEOUS
18
19
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.
20
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 Protective Material.
A Party that seeks to file under seal any
27
Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material
28
may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the
14
1
specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party’s request to file Protected Material
2
under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information
3
in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court.
4
XIII. FINAL DISPOSITION
5
After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 60
6
days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must
7
return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As
8
used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts,
9
compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the
10
Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the
11
Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if
12
