This Stipulated Protective Order is substantially based on the model protective
order provided under Magistrate Judge Gail J. Standish’s Procedures.

1

1

1

Plaintiff Shahrooz Sabzehroo (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Capital One Bank

2

(USA), N.A. (“Defendant”) (collectively, the “Parties”), in order to facilitate the

3

exchange of information and documents that may be subject to confidentiality

4

limitations on disclosure due to federal laws, state laws, and privacy rights, and in

5

order to secure the entry of a protective order limiting the review, copying,

6

dissemination and filing of confidential and/or proprietary documents and

7

information to be produced by the Parties and their respective counsel or by any non-

8

party in the course of discovery in this matter to the extent set forth below, through

9

their respective counsel of record, hereby provide the following Stipulated Protective

10

Order as follows:

11

1.

A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

12

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

13

proprietary or private information for which special protection from public disclosure

14

and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted.

15

Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the

16

following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does

17

not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that

18

the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited

19

information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable

20

legal principles.

21

B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT

22

This action is likely to involve Defendant’s confidential account records, which

23

include Plaintiff’s non-public personally identifiable information, proprietary system

24

notes and other valuable commercial, financial, technical and/or trade secret

25

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

26

purpose other than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such confidential and

27

proprietary materials and information consist of, among other things, confidential

28

2

1

business or financial information, information regarding confidential business

2

practices or commercial information (including information implicating privacy

3

rights of third parties), information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or

4

which may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal

5

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

6

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

7

of discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties are entitled to

8

keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses

9

of such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling

10

at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such

11

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

12

will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so

13

designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential,

14

non-public manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part of the public

15

record of this case.

16

C. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PROCEDURE FOR FILING UNDER SEAL

17

The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this

18

Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information

19

under seal; Local Civil Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and

20

the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file

21

material under seal.

22

There is a strong presumption that the public has a right of access to judicial

23

proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non-dispositive motions,

24

good cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See Kamakana v. City and

25

County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th Cir. 2006), Phillips v. Gen. Motors

26

Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar-Welbon v. Sony Electrics, Inc.,

27

187 F.R.D. 576, 577 (E.D. Wis. 1999) (even stipulated protective orders require good

28

3

1

cause showing), and a specific showing of good cause or compelling reasons with

2

proper evidentiary support and legal justification, must be made with respect to

3

Protected Material that a party seeks to file under seal. The parties’ mere designation

4

of Disclosure or Discovery Material as CONFIDENTIAL does not—without the

5

submission of competent evidence by declaration, establishing that the material

6

sought to be filed under seal qualifies as confidential, privileged, or otherwise

7

protectable—constitute good cause.

8

Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion or trial, then

9

compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must be shown, and the relief

10

sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the specific interest to be protected. See

11

Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Ass’n, 605 F.3d 665, 677-79 (9th Cir. 2010). For each

12

item or type of information, document, or thing sought to be filed or introduced under

13

seal in connection with a dispositive motion or trial, the party seeking protection must

14

articulate compelling reasons, supported by specific facts and legal justification, for

15

the requested sealing order. Again, competent evidence supporting the application to

16

file documents under seal must be provided by declaration.

17

Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable in

18

its entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential portions can be redacted. If

19

documents can be redacted, then a redacted version for public viewing, omitting only

20

the confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable portions of the document, shall

21

be filed. Any application that seeks to file documents under seal in their entirety

22

should include an explanation of why redaction is not feasible.

SCOPE
The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only

14
15
16
17
18

Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted
from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of
Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or 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

19
20
21
22
23
24
25
26
27
28

any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is

trial judge. This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial.
4.

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

appellate proceedings, or, if no appeal is taken, when the time for filing of an appeal
has run. Except as set forth below, the terms of this protective order apply through
FINAL DISPOSITION of the action. The parties may stipulate that they will be
contractually bound by the terms of this agreement beyond FINAL DISPOSITION,
but will have to file a separate action for enforcement of the agreement once all
proceedings in this case are complete.
6

1

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

2

CONFIDENTIAL or maintained pursuant to this protective order used or introduced

3

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

4

members of the public, including the press, unless compelling reasons supported by

5

specific factual findings to proceed otherwise are made to the trial judge in advance

6

of the trial. See Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1180-81 (distinguishing “good cause”

7

showing for sealing documents produced in discovery from “compelling reasons”

8

standard when merits-related documents are part of court record). Accordingly, for

9

such materials, the terms of this protective order do not extend beyond the

10

commencement of the trial.

11

5.

12

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1

Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

13

Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this

14

Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies

15

under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for protection

16

only those parts of material, documents, items or oral or written communications that

17

qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, items or communications

18

for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of

19

this Order.

20

Mass, indiscriminate or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations

21

that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper

22

purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose

23

unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating Party

24

to sanctions.

25

If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it

26

designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must

27

promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.

28

7

1

5.2

Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in

2

this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise

3

stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection

4

under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or

5

produced.

6
7

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
(a)

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

8

documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial

9

proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend

10

“CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that

11

contains protected material. If only a portion of the material on a page qualifies for

12

protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s)

13

(e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).

14

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

15

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

16

which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and

17

before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be

18

deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents

19

it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents,

20

or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing

21

the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL”

22

legend to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion of the material

23

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

24

protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).

25

(b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identifies

26

the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the deposition

27

all protected testimony.

28

8

1

(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for

2

any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

portion(s).
5.3

7

Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent

8

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

9

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

10

Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable

11

efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this

12

Order.

13

6.

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1

14

Timing of Challenges.

Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a

15

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

16

Scheduling Order.
6.2

17
18

Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute

resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq.
6.3

19

The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on

20

the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose

21

(e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may

22

expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived

23

or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to afford the

24

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

25

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

26

7.

27

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1

Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is

28

9

1

disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this

2

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

3

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

4

conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a Receiving

5

Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION).

6

Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a

7

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

8

authorized under this Order.

9

7.2

Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items.

Unless

10

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

11

Receiving

12

“CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

Party

may

disclose

any

information

or

item

designated

13

(a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well

14

as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary

15

to disclose the information for this Action;

16
17

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

18

(c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom

19

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

20

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

21

(d) the court and its personnel;

22

(e) court reporters and their staff;

23

(f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional

24

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

25

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

26
27

(g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a
custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information;

28

10

1

(h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the

2

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

3

requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit A hereto; and (2) they will

4

not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the

5

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

6

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

7

deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may be

8

separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as

9

permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and
(i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel,

10
11

mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions.

12

8.

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN

13

OTHER LITIGATION

14

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

15

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

16

“CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:

17
18

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

19

(b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order

20

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

21

or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of

22

this Stipulated Protective Order; and

23
24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

11

1

or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The

2

Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court

3

of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions should be construed as

4

authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action to disobey a lawful

5

directive from another court.

6

9.

7

A

NON-PARTY’S

PROTECTED

MATERIAL

SOUGHT

TO

BE

PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION

8

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

9

Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information

10

produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the

11

remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be

12

construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.

13

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

14

produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is

15

subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s

16

confidential information, then the Party shall:

17

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

18

that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement

19

with a Non-Party;

20

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

21

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

22

specific description of the information requested; and

23
24

(3) make the information requested available for inspection by the NonParty, if requested.

25

(c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within

26

14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party

27

may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery

28

12

1

request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall

2

not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the

3

confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court.

4

Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense

5

of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.

6

10.

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order,

13

and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and

14

Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

15

11.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

16

PROTECTED MATERIAL

17

When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain

18

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

19

the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil

20

Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure

21

may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior

22

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

23

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

24

information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the

25

parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted

26

to the court.

27
28

13

1

12.

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

2
3

MISCELLANEOUS

person to seek its modification by the Court in the future.

4

12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any

10

Protected Material must comply with Local Civil Rule 79-5. Protected Material may

11

only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific

12

Protected Material at issue. If a Party’s request to file Protected Material under seal

13

is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in the public

14

record unless otherwise instructed by the court.

15

13.

FINAL DISPOSITION

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations,

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

(by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or

25

destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies,

26

abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any

27

of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to

28

14

1

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

2

transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert

3

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

4

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

5

constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in

6

Section 4 (DURATION)

7

14.

8

Any violation of this Order may be punished by appropriate measures including,

9

without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary sanctions.
