PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential,

26

proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public

27

disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may

28

be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to
1

1

enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this

2

Stipulated Protective Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

set forth in Section 13.3 below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle

7

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

8

procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a

9

party seeks permission from the Court to file material under seal. Discovery in this

10

action is likely to involve production of confidential, proprietary, or private

11

information for which special protection from public disclosure and from use for

12

any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted.

13
14
15

GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT
This action is likely to involve confidential information contained in police

16

reports and audio/video recordings, and photographs. Such confidential and

17

proprietary materials and information consist of, among other things: police

18

investigative reports, body-worn video, digital in-car video, audio recordings,

19

photographs of police officers, and city attorney work product protected under the

20

Official Information Privilege, California Evidence Code sections 1040 (Official

21

Government Information); Deliberative Process information protected under ACLU

22

v. Superior Court, 202 Cal.App.4th 55, 75 (2011) (quoting Regents of University of

23

California v. Superior Court, 20 Cal.4th 509, 540 (1999)); Work Product

24

information protected under California Penal Code Sections 1054.6; State Summary

25

Criminal History Information protected under California Penal Code Sections

26

11105, 11120 et. seq., 11142, 1143, 13302, 13304 and 1203.05 [State Summary

27

Criminal History Information statements ("rap sheets") received by the District or

28

City Attorney from the California State Department of Justice are objected to as
2

1

constituting a request for the production of Official Information, and as imposing

2

undue burden, annoyance, oppression and expense, by way of potential

3

misdemeanor liability on the District or City Attorney's Office]; and Confidential

4

Witness Information protected under California Penal Code section 841.5 which

5

prevents disclosure of the addresses and telephone numbers of witnesses to an

6

alleged criminal offense to the person who may be a defendant in any prosecution

7

for that offense; all of the foregoing types of information otherwise generally

8

unavailable to the public, or which may be privileged or otherwise protected from

9

disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common

10

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

11

resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

Protected Material, but also (1) any information copied or extracted from Protected

21

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

trial judge. This Stipulated Protective Order does not govern the use of Protected

26

Material at trial.

27

5.

DURATION
Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations

3

imposed by this Stipulated Protective Order shall remain in effect until a

4

Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court order otherwise directs.

5

Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and

6

defenses in this Action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein

7

after the completion and exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or

8

reviews of this Action, including the time limits for filing any motions or

9

applications for extension of time pursuant to applicable law.

10

FINAL DISPOSITION of the action is defined as the conclusion of any

11

appellate proceedings, or, if no appeal is taken, when the time for filing of an

12

appeal has run. Except as set forth below, the terms of this protective order apply

13

through FINAL DISPOSITION of the action. The parties may stipulate that the

14

they will be contractually bound by the terms of this agreement beyond FINAL

15

DISPOSITION, but will have to file a separate action for enforcement of the

16

agreement once all proceedings in this case are complete.

17

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

18

CONFIDENTIAL or maintained pursuant to this protective order used or

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

judge in advance of the trial. See Kamakana v. City and County of Honolulu, 447

23

F.3d 1172, 1180-81 (9th Cir. 2006) (distinguishing “good cause” showing for

24

sealing documents produced in discovery from “compelling reasons” standard when

25

merits-related documents are part of court record). Accordingly, for such materials,

26

the terms of this protective order do not extend beyond the commencement of the

27

trial as to the Confidential information used or introduced as an exhibit at trial.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
6.1.

Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

3

Each Party or Nonparty that designates information or items for

4

protection under this Stipulated Protective Order must take care to

5

limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the

6

appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for

7

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

8

written communications that qualify so that other portions of the

9

material, documents, items, or communications for which protection is

10

not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this

11

Stipulated Protective Order.

12

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited.

13

Designations that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been

14

made for an improper purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the

15

case development process or to impose unnecessary expenses and

16

burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating Party to

17

sanctions.

18

6.2.

Manner and Timing of Designations.

19

Except as otherwise provided in this Stipulated Protective Order

20

(see, e.g., Section 6.2(a)), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered,

21

Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under

22

this Stipulated Protective Order must be clearly so designated before

23

the material is disclosed or produced.

24

Designation in conformity with this Stipulated Protective Order

25

requires the following:

26

(a)

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

27

documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other

28

pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a
7

1

minimum, the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each page that

2

contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the

3

material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party

4

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

5

making appropriate markings in the margins).

6

A Party or Nonparty that makes original documents

7

available for inspection need not designate them for protection

8

until after the inspecting Party has indicated which documents it

9

would like copied and produced. During the inspection and

10

before the designation, all of the material made available for

11

inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the

12

inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied

13

and produced, the Producing Party must determine which

14

documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this

15

Stipulated Protective Order. Then, before producing the

16

specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the legend

17

“CONFIDENTIAL” to each page that contains Protected

18

Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page

19

qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly

20

identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate

21

markings in the margins).

22

(b)

For testimony given in depositions, that the Designating Party

23

identify the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record,

24

before the close of the deposition, all protected testimony.

25

(c)

For information produced in nondocumentary form, and for any

26

other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a

27

prominent place on the exterior of the container or containers in

28

which the information is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.”
8

1

If only a portion or portions of the information warrants

2

protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall

3

identify the protected portion(s).

4

6.3.

5

Inadvertent Failure to Designate.
If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to designate qualified

6

information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating

7

Party’s right to secure protection under this Stipulated Protective Order

8

for such material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the

9

Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the

10

material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Stipulated

11

Protective Order.

12
13

7.

14

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
7.1.

Timing of Challenges.

15

Any Party or Nonparty may challenge a designation of

16

confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s

17

Scheduling Order.

18

7.2.

19

Meet and Confer.
The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution

20

process, which shall comply with Local Rule 37.1 et seq., and with

21

Section 4 of Judge Audero’s Procedures (“Mandatory Telephonic

22

Conference for Discovery Disputes”).1

23

7.3.

Burden of Persuasion.

24

The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall

25

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

26
27
28

1

Judge Audero’s Procedures are available at
https://www.cacd.uscourts.gov/honorable-maria-audero.
9

1

an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses

2

and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to

3

sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived or withdrawn the

4

confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to afford the

5

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

6

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

7

challenge.

8

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIALS
8.1.

Basic Principles.

11

A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed

12

or produced by another Party or by a Nonparty in connection with this

13

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

14

Action. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to the

15

categories of persons and under the conditions described in this

16

Stipulated Protective Order. When the Action reaches a final

17

disposition, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of

18

Section 14 below.

19

Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a

20

Receiving Party at a location and in a secure manner that ensures that

21

access is limited to the persons authorized under this Stipulated

22

Protective Order.

23

8.2.

Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items.

24

Unless otherwise ordered by the Court or permitted in writing

25

by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any

26

information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

27

(a)

28

The Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record, as well as
employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is
10

1
2

reasonably necessary to disclose the information for this Action;
(b)

The officers, directors, and employees (including In-House

3

Counsel) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is

4

reasonably necessary for this Action;

5

(c)

Experts of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably

6

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

12

necessary or this Action and who have signed the

13

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

14

(g)

The author or recipient of a document containing the

15

information or a custodian or other person who otherwise

16

possessed or knew the information;

17

(h)

During their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses,

18

in the Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary

19

provided: (i) the deposing party requests that the witness sign

20

the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit

21

A); and (ii) the witness will not be permitted to keep any

22

confidential information unless they sign the “Acknowledgment

23

and Agreement to Be Bound,” unless otherwise agreed by the

24

Designating Party or ordered by the Court. Pages of transcribed

25

deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal

26

Protected Material may be separately bound by the court

27

reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted

28

under this Stipulated Protective Order; and
11

1

(i)

Any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting

2

personnel, mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged

3

in settlement discussions.

4
5

(Defendants request that the following category of persons be added to
this section:

6

(j)

during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses,

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected

13

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

14

anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order.)

15
16

9.

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED

17

PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION

18

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

19

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

20

“CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:

21

(a)

22

Promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification
shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order;

23

(b)

Promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order

24

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

25

by the subpoena or order is subject to this Stipulated Protective Order.

26

Such notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated Protective

27

Order; and

28

///
12

1

(c)

Cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be

2

pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be

3

affected.

4

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

5

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

6

action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the Court from which the

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

to disobey a lawful directive from another court.

12
13

10.

A NONPARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE

14

PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION

15

10.1. Application.

16

The terms of this Stipulated Protective Order are applicable to

17

information produced by a Nonparty in this Action and designated as

18

“CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by Nonparties in

19

connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief

20

provided by this Stipulated Protective Order. Nothing in these

21

provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Nonparty from seeking

22

additional protections.

23

10.2. Notification.

24

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

25

request, to produce a Nonparty’s confidential information in its

26

possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement with the Nonparty

27

not to produce the Nonparty’s confidential information, then the Party

28

shall:
13

1

(a)

Promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the

2

Nonparty that some or all of the information requested is subject

3

to a confidentiality agreement with a Nonparty;

4

(b)

Promptly provide the Nonparty with a copy of the Stipulated

5

Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery

6

request(s), and a reasonably specific description of the

7

information requested; and

8

(c)

9

Make the information requested available for inspection by the
Nonparty, if requested.

10

10.3. Conditions of Production.

11

If the Nonparty fails to seek a protective order from this Court

12

within fourteen (14) days after receiving the notice and accompanying

13

information, the Receiving Party may produce the Nonparty’s

14

confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the

15

Nonparty timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not

16

produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to

17

the confidentiality agreement with the Nonparty before a

18

determination by the Court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the

19

Nonparty shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in

20

this Court of its Protected Material.

21
22
23

11.

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed

24

Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this

25

Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party immediately must (1) notify in

26

writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (2) use its best

27

efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (3) inform the

28

person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of
14

1

this Stipulated Protective Order, and (4) request such person or persons to execute

2

the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to be Bound” (Exhibit A).

3
4

12.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

5

PROTECTED MATERIAL

6

When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

Protective Order submitted to the Court.

16
17
18
19
20
21
22

13.

MISCELLANEOUS
13.1. Right to Further Relief.
Nothing in this Stipulated Protective Order abridges the right of
any person to seek its modification by the Court in the future.
13.2. Right to Assert Other Objections.
By stipulating to the entry of this Stipulated Protective Order, no

23

Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing

24

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

25

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

26

to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material

27

covered by this Stipulated Protective Order.

28
15

1

13.3. Filing Protected Material.

2

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

3

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

4

under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the

5

specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file

6

Protected Material under seal is denied by the Court, then the

7

Receiving Party may file the information in the public record unless

8

otherwise instructed by the Court.

9
10
11

14.

FINAL DISPOSITION
After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in Section 5, within sixty

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19
