TO THE HONORABLE COURT:
The parties have stipulated to the following protective order that is based on
Magistrate Pym’s model protective order with some changes made to fit this case. The
parties hereby request the court order this stipulated protective order as the protective
order to issue in this case.
26

Parties’ Joint Protective Order

1.
A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
2
Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential,
3
proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public disclosure
4
and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted.
5
Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the following
6
Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer
7
blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection
8
it affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or
9
items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles.
10
The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated
11
Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal; Civil
12
Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and the standards that
13
will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file material under seal.
14
15
B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT
16
This action is likely to involve the production of peace officer personnel
17
materials, including but not limited to citizen complaints and internal affairs
18
investigation maters, for which special protection from public disclosure and from use
19
for any purpose other than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such confidential
20
and proprietary materials and information consist of, among other things, information
21
otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or which may be privileged or otherwise
22
protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or
23
common law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt
24
resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately protect
25
information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are
26
permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in preparation for and in the
27
conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends
28
of justice, a protective order for such information is justified in this matter. It is the
4
Parties’ Joint Protective Order
1
intent of the parties that information will not be designated as confidential for tactical
2
reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it has been
3
maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause why it should
4
not be part of the public record of this case.

DURATION
2
Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations
3
imposed by this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise
4
in writing or a court order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be deemed to be

the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in this Action, with or without
6
prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion and exhaustion of all
7
appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this Action, including the time limits
8
for filing any motions or applications for extension of time pursuant to applicable law.
9
10
5.
DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
11
5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each Party
12
or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must
13
take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the
14
appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for protection only those
15
parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written communications that qualify so
16
that other portions of the material, documents, items, or communications for which
17
protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.
18
Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations
19
that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose
20
(e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose
21
unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating Party
22
to sanctions.
23
If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it
24
designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must
25
promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.
26
5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order
27
(see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or
28
///
7
Parties’ Joint Protective Order
1
ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order
2
must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or produced.
3
Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
4
(a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents,
5
but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the
6
Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter
7
“CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that contains protected material. If only a
8
portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing
9
Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate
10
markings in the margins).
11
A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection
12
need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated
13
which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before
14
the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed
15
“CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants
16
copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or
17
portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the
18
specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL legend”
19
to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the
20
material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly
21
identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
22
(b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identify the
23
Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the deposition all
24
protected testimony.
25
(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any
26
other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior
27
of the container or containers in which the information
28
“CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information warrants
8
Parties’ Joint Protective Order
is stored the legend
1
protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected
2
portion(s).
3
5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to
4
designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the
5
Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon
6
timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts
7
to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order.
8
9
6.
CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
10
6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of
11
confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s Scheduling Order.
12
6.2
13
process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq.
14
6.3 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the
15
Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose (e.g.,
16
to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose
17
the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived or
18
withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to afford the
19
material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing
20
Party’s designation until the Court rules on the challenge.
Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution
21
22
7.
ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
23
7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed or
24
produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this Action only for
25
prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such Protected Material
26
may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the conditions described
27
in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply
28
with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION).
9
Parties’ Joint Protective Order
1
Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a
2
location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons
3
authorized under this Order.
4
7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered
5
by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may
6
disclose any information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:
7
(a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well as
8
employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to
9
disclose the information for this Action;
10
11
(b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the
Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action;
12
(c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure
13
is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the “Acknowledgment
14
and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
15
(d) the court and its personnel;
16
(e) court reporters and their staff;
17
(f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional Vendors
18
to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the
19
“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
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;
22
(h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the Action
23
to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing party requests
24
that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit 1 hereto; and (2) they will not be
25
permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the “Acknowledgment
26
and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating
27
Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to
28
depositions that reveal Protected Material may be separately bound by the court
10
Parties’ Joint Protective Order
1
reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated
2
Protective Order; and
(i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, mutually
3
4
agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions.
5
6
8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN
7
OTHER LITIGATION
8
If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that
9
compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as
10
“CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:
11
(a) notify in writing the Designating Party within three calendar days of receipt
12
of the subpoena or court order. Such notification shall include a copy of the subpoena
13
or court order;
14
(b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to
15
issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or
16
order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this
17
Stipulated Protective Order; and
(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by
18
19
the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
20
If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with
21
the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action
22
as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the subpoena
23
or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The
24
Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court
25
of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions should be construed as
26
authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action to disobey a lawful
27
directive from another court.

A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED
2
IN THIS LITIGATION
3
(a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-
4
Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced
5
by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief
6
provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting
7
a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.
8
(b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce
9
a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an
10
agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information,
11
then the Party shall:
12
(1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party
13
that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement
14
with a Non-Party;
(2)
15
promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated
16
Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably
17
specific description of the information requested; and
(3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-
18
19
Party, if requested.
(c)
20
If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within 14
21
days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may
22
produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request.
23
If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce
24
any information in its possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality
25
agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court. Absent a court
26
order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking
27
protection in this court of its Protected Material.

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
2
If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed
3
Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this
4
Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing
5
the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve
6
all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons to
7
whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, and (d)
8
request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be
9
Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
10
11
11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE
12
PROTECTED MATERIAL
13
When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain
14
inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection,
15
the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil
16
Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure
17
may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior
18
privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the
19
parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or
20
information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the
21
parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted to
22
the court.
23
24
12.
MISCELLANEOUS
25
12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person to
26
seek its modification by the Court in the future.
27
12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective
28
Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or
13
Parties’ Joint Protective Order
1
producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated
2
Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any ground to use
3
in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order.
4
12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected
5
Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may only be filed
6
under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected
7
Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected Material under seal is denied by
8
the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in the public record unless
9
otherwise instructed by the court.
10
11
13.
FINAL DISPOSITION
12
After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 60
13
days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return
14
all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in this
15
subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations,
16
summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected
17
Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party
18
must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person
19
or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by
20
category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed
21
and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts,
22
compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of the
23
Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an
24
archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts,
25
legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports,
26
attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials
27
contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute
