A.
PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
25
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
1
_____________________________________________________________________________
1
be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to
2
enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this
3
Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to
4
discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends
5
only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment
6
under the applicable legal principles.
7
8
B.
GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT
9
This case involves police use of excessive force. Discovery in this action is
10
likely to involve the production of sensitive, confidential documents pertaining to
11
and contained in the private employment personnel file of Defendant Long Beach
12
Police Department officers, which include as follows: Officer Joseph John Calise,
13
Officer Joel Johnson, Officer Braulio Carbajal, and Officer Feliciano Reyes, Jr.
14
(collectively herein “Defendant Officers”) Production and disclosure of these
15
confidential personnel file documents without this protective order may subject
16
Defendant Officers to unwarranted and unnecessary embarrassment, harassment,
17
and/or violation of Defendant Officers’ rights of privacy.
18
Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt
19
resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately
20
protect information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the
21
parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in preparation for
22
and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of the litigation, and
23
serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is justified in this
24
matter. It is the intent of the parties that information will not be designated as
25
confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good
26
faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and
27
there is good cause why it should not be part of the public record of this case.

C.
ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PROCEDURE FOR FILING UNDER SEAL
2
The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this
3
Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information
4
under seal; Local Civil Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed
5
and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court
6
to file material under seal.
7
There is a strong presumption that the public has a right of access to judicial
8
proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non-dispositive motions,
9
good cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See Kamakana v. City and
10
County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th Cir. 2006), Phillips v. Gen. Motors
11
Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar-Welbon v. Sony Electrics,
12
Inc., 187 F.R.D. 576, 577 (E.D. Wis. 1999) (even stipulated protective orders require
13
good cause showing), and a specific showing of good cause or compelling reasons
14
with proper evidentiary support and legal justification, must be made with respect to
15
Protected Material that a party seeks to file under seal. The parties’ mere designation
16
of Disclosure or Discovery Material as CONFIDENTIAL does not—without the
17
submission of competent evidence by declaration, establishing that the material
18
sought to be filed under seal qualifies as confidential, privileged, or otherwise
19
protectable—constitute good cause.
20
Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion or trial, then
21
compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must be shown, and the
22
relief sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the specific interest to be protected.
23
See Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Ass’n, 605 F.3d 665, 677-79 (9th Cir. 2010). For
24
25
26
27
28
each item or type of information, document, or thing sought to be filed or introduced
under seal in connection with a dispositive motion or trial, the party seeking
protection must articulate compelling reasons, supported by specific facts and legal
justification, for the requested sealing order. Again, competent evidence supporting
3
_____________________________________________________________________________
1
the application to file documents under seal must be provided by declaration.
2
Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable in
3
its entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential portions can be redacted. If
4
documents can be redacted, then a redacted version for public viewing, omitting only
5
the confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable portions of the document, shall
6
be filed. Any application that seeks to file documents under seal in their entirety
7
should include an explanation of why redaction is not feasible.

5.
DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
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
6
_____________________________________________________________________________
1
this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that
2
qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for
3
protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written
4
communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents,
5 items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept
6 unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.
7
8
Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations
9 that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper
10 purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose
11 unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating
12 Party to sanctions.
13
If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it
14 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must
15 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.
16
17
18
19
20
21
22
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
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.
Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
23
(a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents,
24
but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that
25
the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter
26
“CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that contains protected material. If only
27
a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing
28
7
_____________________________________________________________________________
1
Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate
2
markings in the margins).
3
A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection
4
need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated
5
which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and
6
before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be
7
deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the
8
documents that it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine
9
which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then,
10
before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the
11
“CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a
12
portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing
13
Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate
14
markings in the margins).
15
(b)
for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identify
16
the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the deposition
17
all protected testimony.
18
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.” If only a portion or portions of the information warrants
23 protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected
24 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 material.
28
Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable
8
_____________________________________________________________________________
1
efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this
2
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 on
11
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 Party
14
has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to
15
afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the
16
Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the challenge.

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
Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such
Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the
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).
26
Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a
27
location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons
28
authorized under this Order.

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED
If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation
that 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 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
16
to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena
17
or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of
18
this Stipulated Protective Order; and
19
20
21
(c)
cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be
pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
(d)
If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party
22
served with the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information
23
designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court
24
from which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the
25
Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and
26
expense of seeking protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing
27
in these provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving
28

_____________________________________________________________________________
1
Party in this Action to disobey a lawful directive from another court.
2
9.
3
IN THIS LITIGATION
4
NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED
(a)
The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a
5
Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information
6
produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the
7
remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be
8
construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.
9
(b)
In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to
10
produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is
11
subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s
12
confidential information, then the Party shall:
13
(1)
promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-
14
Party that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality
15
agreement with a Non-Party;
16
(2)
promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated
17
Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably
18
specific description of the information requested; and
19
20
21
(3)
make the information requested available for inspection by the
Non-Party, if requested.
(c)
If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within
22
14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party
23
may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery
24
25
26
27
28
request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall
not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the
confidentiality 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
12
_____________________________________________________________________________
1
of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.
2
10.
UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
3
4
If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed
5
Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this
6
Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in
7
writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts
8
to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person
9
or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this
10
Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and
11
Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
12
13
14
11.
INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE
PROTECTED MATERIAL
15
When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain
16
inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection,
17
the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil
18
Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure
19
may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior
20
privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the
21
parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or
22
information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the
23
parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted
24
to the court provided the Court so allows.
25
26
27
28
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.
13
_____________________________________________________________________________
1
12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this
2
Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to
3
disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this
4
Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any
5
ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order.
6
12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any
7
Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may
8
only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the
9
specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected Material
10
under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information
11
in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court.
12
13.
FINAL DISPOSITION
13
14
After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 60
15
days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return
16
all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in
17
this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations,
18
summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected
19
Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving
20
Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same
21
person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies
22
(by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or
23
destroyed and (2)affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies,
24
abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any
25
of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel is entitled to
26
retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing
27
transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert
28
reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such
14
_____________________________________________________________________________
1
materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or
2
constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in
3
Section 4 (DURATION).
