1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 SOUTHERN DIVISION 11 12 SUZUKI MOTOR OF AMERICA, INC., a California Corporation, 13 Plaintiff, 14 vs. 15 BONNIE MULLION, an individual; 16 JAMES MULLION, an individual; DOES 1 through 10, 17 Defendants. 18 CASE NO. 8:17-cv-00903-CJC (JDEx) PROTECTIVE ORDER Action Filed: May 24, 2017 Trial Date: None Set 19 1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS 20 Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential, 21 proprietary or private information for which special protection from public disclosure 22 and from use for any purpose other than pursuing this litigation—except as described 23 in Paragraph 9, infra—may be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to 24 and petition the Court to enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties 25 acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or 26 responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and 27 use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential 28 treatment under the applicable legal principles. PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 2. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT 2 This action is likely to involve discovery regarding financial accounts, 3 including but not limited to bank accounts and credit card accounts, maintained by 4 the Defendants, discovery relating to the financial condition of Defendants, and with 5 respect to internal procedures and propriety business practices used by Plaintiff. This 6 information warrants a measure of protection from public disclosure and from use for 7 any purpose other than prosecution of this action—except as described in Paragraph 8 9, infra. 9 Such confidential and proprietary materials and information consist of, among 10 other things, confidential business or financial information, information regarding 11 confidential business practices, which is otherwise generally unavailable to the public, 12 or which may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or 13 federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common law. 14 Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt 15 resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately 16 protect information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the 17 parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in preparation for and 18 in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of the litigation, and serve 19 the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is justified in this matter. 20 It is the intent of the parties that information will not be designated as confidential for 21 tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it 22 has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause 23 why it should not be part of the public record of this case. 24 3. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF UNDER SEAL FILING PROCEDURE 25 The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this 26 Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information 27 under seal; Local Civil Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and 28 the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file 2 PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 material under seal. 2 There is a strong presumption that the public has a right of access to judicial 3 proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non-dispositive motions, 4 good cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See Kamakana v. City and 5 County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th Cir. 2006), Phillips v. Gen. Motors 6 Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar-Welbon v. Sony Electrics, Inc., 7 187 F.R.D. 576, 577 (E.D. Wis. 1999) (even stipulated protective orders require good 8 cause showing), and a specific showing of good cause or compelling reasons with 9 proper evidentiary support and legal justification, must be made with respect to 10 Protected Material that a party seeks to file under seal. The parties’ mere designation 11 of Disclosure or Discovery Material as CONFIDENTIAL does not— without the 12 submission of competent evidence by declaration, establishing that the material 13 sought to be filed under seal qualifies as confidential, privileged, or otherwise 14 protectable—constitute good cause. 15 Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion or trial, then 16 compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must be shown, and the relief 17 sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the specific interest to be protected. See 18 Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Ass’n., 605 F.3d 665, 677-79 (9th Cir. 2010). For each 19 item or type of information, document, or thing sought to be filed or introduced under 20 seal, the party seeking protection must articulate compelling reasons, supported by 21 specific facts and legal justification, for the requested sealing order. Again, competent 22 evidence supporting the application to file documents under seal must be provided by 23 declaration. 24 Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable in 25 its entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential portions can be redacted. If 26 documents can be redacted, then a redacted version for public viewing, omitting only 27 the confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable portions of the document, shall 28 be filed. Any application that seeks to file documents under seal in their entirety 3 PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 should include an explanation of why redaction is not feasible. 2 4. DEFINITIONS 3 4.1 Action: this pending federal lawsuit, styled as Suzuki Motor of America, 4 Inc. v. Mullion, et al., United States District Court, Central District of California, Case 5 No. 8:17-cv-00903-CJC-JDE. 6 4.2 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the designation 7 of information or items under this Order. 8 4.3 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information (regardless of 9 how it is generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for protection 10 under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), and as specified above in the Good 11 Cause Statement. 12 4.4 Counsel: Outside Counsel of Record and in-house and/or outside 13 general Counsel (as well as their support staff). 14 4.5 Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates information or 15 items that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as 16 “CONFIDENTIAL.” 17 4.6 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless 18 of the medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, 19 among other things, testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced or 20 generated in disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter. 21 4.7 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter 22 pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as 23 an expert witness or as a consultant in this Action. 24 4.8 House Counsel: attorneys who are employed by, retained by, or engaged 25 by a party to this Action. 26 4.9 Non-Party: any natural person, partnership, corporation, association or 27 other legal entity not named as a Party to this action. 28 4.10 Outside Counsel of Record: attorneys who are not employees of a party 4 PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 to this Action but are retained to represent or advise a party to this Action and have 2 appeared in this Action on behalf of that party or are affiliated with a law firm that 3 has appeared on behalf of that party, and includes support staff. 4 4.11 Party: any party to this Action, including all of its officers, directors, 5 employees, consultants, retained experts, and Outside Counsel of Record (and their 6 support staffs). 7 4.12 Producing Party: a Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or 8 Discovery Material in this Action. 9 4.13 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation support 10 services (e.g., photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or 11 demonstrations, and organizing, storing, or retrieving data in any form or medium) 12 and their employees and subcontractors. 13 4.14 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is 14 designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” 15 4.15 Receiving Party: a Party who receives Protected Material from a 16 Designating Party. 17 5.0 SCOPE 18 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only 19 Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted 20 from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of 21 Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or presentations by Parties 22 or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. Any use of Protected Material 23 at trial shall be governed by the orders of the trial judge. This Order does not govern 24 the use of Protected Material at trial. 25 6. DURATION 26 Once a case proceeds to trial, information that was designated as 27 CONFIDENTIAL or maintained pursuant to this protective order used or introduced 28 as an exhibit at trial becomes public and will be presumptively available to all 5 PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 members of the public, including the press, unless compelling reasons supported by 2 specific factual findings to proceed otherwise are made to the trial judge in advance 3 of the trial. See Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1180-81 (distinguishing “good cause” 4 showing for sealing documents produced in discovery from “compelling reasons” 5 standard when merits-related documents are part of court record). Accordingly, the 6 terms of this protective order do not extend beyond the commencement of the trial. 7 7. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 8 7.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. 9 Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this 10 Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies 11 under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for protection 12 only those parts of material, documents, items or oral or written communications that 13 qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, items or communications 14 for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of 15 this Order. 16 Mass, indiscriminate or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations 17 that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper 18 purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose 19 unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating Party 20 to sanctions. 21 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it 22 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must 23 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation. 24 7.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in 25 this Order (see, e.g., section 7.3 below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, 26 Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must 27 be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or produced. 28 Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 6 PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic 2 documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial 3 proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend 4 “CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that 5 contains protected material. If only a portion of the material on a page qualifies for 6 protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) 7 (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). 8 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection 9 need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated 10 which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and 11 before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be 12 deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents 13 it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, 14 or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing 15 the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL 16 legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion of the material 17 on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the 18 protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). 19 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identifies 20 the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the deposition 21 all protected testimony. 22 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for 23 any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the 24 exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the legend 25 “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information warrants 26 protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected 27 portion(s). 28 7.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent 7 PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the 2 Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. 3 Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable 4 efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this 5 Order. 6 8. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 7 8.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a 8 designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s 9 Scheduling Order. 10 8.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute 11 resolution process under Local Rule 37-1 et seq. 12 8.3 Joint Stipulation. Any challenge submitted to the Court shall be via a 13 joint stipulation pursuant to Local Rule 37-2. 14 8.4 Burden. The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding 15 shall be on the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an 16 improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on 17 other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating 18 Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall 19 continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled 20 under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the challenge. 21 9. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 22 9.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is 23 disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this 24 Action only for prosecuting, defending or attempting to settle this Action, except that 25 this Order will not be deemed to preclude any Party from providing any information 26 requested in connection with a criminal investigation conducted by a law enforcement 27 agency and/or district attorney’s office. Such Protected Material may be disclosed 28 only to the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order. 8 PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 When the Action has been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the 2 provisions of section 15 below (FINAL DISPOSITION). 3 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a 4 location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons 5 authorized under this Order. 6 9.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless 7 otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a 8 Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated 9 “CONFIDENTIAL” by another Party only to: 10 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well 11 as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary 12 to disclose the information for this Action; 13 (b) the officers, directors, employees, and House Counsel of the Receiving 14 Party and/or the parent company of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is 15 reasonably necessary for this Action; 16 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom 17 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the 18 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 19 (d) the court and its personnel; 20 (e) court reporters and their staff; 21 (f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional 22 Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have 23 signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 24 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a 25 custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information; 26 (h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the 27 Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing party 28 requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit 1 hereto; and (2) they will 9 PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the 2 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise 3 agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed 4 deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may be 5 separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as 6 permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and 7 (i) any mediators or settlement officers and their supporting personnel, 8 mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions. 9 10. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED 10 PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION 11 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation 12 that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as 13 “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must: 14 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall 15 include a copy of the subpoena or court order; 16 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to 17 issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena 18 or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of 19 this Stipulated Protective Order; and 20 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued 21 by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. If the 22 Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the subpoena 23 or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as 24 “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the subpoena or 25 order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The 26 Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court 27 of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions should be construed as 28 authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action to disobey a lawful 10 PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 directive from another court. 2 11. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE 3 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION 4 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non- 5 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-Party that 14 some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with 15 a Non-Party; 16 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective 17 Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific 18 description of the information requested; and 19 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non- 20 Party, if requested. 21 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within 14 22 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may 23 produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. 24 If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce 25 any information in its possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality 26 agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court. Absent a court 27 order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking 28 protection in this court of its Protected Material. 11 PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 12. 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 5 writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts 6 to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or 7 persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, 8 and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment an 9 Agreement to Be Bound” attached hereto as Exhibit A. 10 13. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE 11 PROTECTED MATERIAL 12 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain 13 inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, 14 the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil\ 15 Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure 16 may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior 17 privilege review. 18 14. 19 14.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any MISCELLANEOUS 20 person to seek its modification by the Court in the future. 21 14.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this 22 Protective Order, no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to 23 disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this 24 Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any 25 ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order. 26 14.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any 27 Protected Material must comply with Local Civil Rule 79-5. Protected Material may 28 only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific 12 PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 Protected Material at issue. If a Party’s request to file Protected Material under seal 2 is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in the public 3 record unless otherwise instructed by the court. 4 15. FINAL DISPOSITION 5 After the final disposition of this Action, within 60 days of a written request by 6 the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the 7 Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected 8 Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any other 9 format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether the Protected 10 Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a written 11 certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the 12 Designating Party) by the 60-day deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where 13 appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and (2) affirms 14 that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, 15 summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. 16 Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy 17 of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal 18 memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney 19 work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials contain 20 Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected 21 Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in Section 6 22 (DURATION). 23 16. VIOLATION 24 Any violation of this Order may be punished by appropriate measures 25 including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary sanctions. 26 IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD. 27 /// 28 /// 13 PROTECTIVE ORDER 1 DATED: September 21, 2017 ADAMS & PHAM APC 2 By: 3 4 5 6 7 DATED: September 21, 2017 /s/ Joseph M.
