1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 11 NAK KIM CHHOEUN, et al. Petitioners, 12 v. 13 14 DAVID MARIN, Field Office Director, Los Angeles Field Office, United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement, et al. 15 16 Case No. 8:17-cv-01898-CJC (GJSx) Assigned to: Hon. Cormac J. Carney; Hon. Gail J. Standish, U.S. Magistrate Judge STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER1 Respondents. 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 1 This Stipulated Protective Order is substantially based on the model protective order provided under Magistrate Judge Gail J. Standish’s Procedures. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1. A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential, proprietary or private information for which special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT This action is likely to involve information implicating privacy rights, personal information covered by the Privacy Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552a, or information otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common law, for which special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecution of this action is warranted. For example, in addition to information covered by the Privacy Act, the action may involve information protected by 8 U.S.C. § 1367(a)(2) or 8 C.F.R. § 208.6. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that information will not be designated as confidential for 1 tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it 2 has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner. 3 4 C. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PROCEDURE FOR FILING UNDER SEAL 5 The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this 6 Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information 7 under seal; Local Civil Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed 8 and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court 9 to file material under seal. 10 There is a strong presumption that the public has a right of access to judicial 11 proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non-dispositive motions, 12 good cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See Kamakana v. City and 13 County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th Cir. 2006), Phillips v. Gen. Motors 14 Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar-Welbon v. Sony Electrics, 15 Inc., 187 F.R.D. 576, 577 (E.D. Wis. 1999) (even stipulated protective orders 16 require good cause showing), and a specific showing of good cause or compelling 17 reasons with proper evidentiary support and legal justification, must be made with 18 respect to Protected Material that a party seeks to file under seal. The parties’ mere 19 designation of Disclosure or Discovery Material as CONFIDENTIAL does not— 20 without the submission of competent evidence by declaration, establishing that the 21 material sought to be filed under seal qualifies as confidential, privileged, or 22 otherwise protectable—constitute good cause. 23 Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion or trial, then 24 compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must be shown, and the 25 relief sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the specific interest to be protected. 26 See Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Ass’n, 605 F.3d 665, 677-79 (9th Cir. 2010). For 27 each item or type of information, document, or thing sought to be filed or introduced 28 2 1 under seal in connection with a dispositive motion or trial, the party seeking 2 protection must articulate compelling reasons, supported by specific facts and legal 3 justification, for the requested sealing order. Again, competent evidence supporting 4 the application to file documents under seal must be provided by declaration. Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable in 5 6 its entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential portions can be redacted. 7 If documents can be redacted, then a redacted version for public viewing, omitting 8 only the confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable portions of the document, 9 shall be filed. Any application that seeks to file documents under seal in their 10 entirety should include an explanation of why redaction is not feasible. 11 12 2. DEFINITIONS 13 2.1 Action: this pending federal lawsuit. 14 2.2 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the 15 16 designation of information or items under this Order. 2.3 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information (regardless of 17 how it is generated, stored, or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for 18 protection under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), and as specified above in 19 the Good Cause Statement. 20 2.5 Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates information or 21 items that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as 22 “CONFIDENTIAL.” 23 2.6 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless 24 of the medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, 25 among other things, testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced or 26 generated in disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter. 27 28 2.7 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter 3 1 pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as 2 an expert witness or as a consultant in this Action. 2.9 3 4 Non-Party: any natural person, partnership, corporation, association, or other legal entity not named as a Party to this action. 2.10 Counsel of Record: attorneys who are not employees of a party to this 5 6 Action but are retained to represent or advise a party to this Action and have 7 appeared in this Action on behalf of that party or are affiliated with a law firm that 8 has appeared on behalf of that party, and includes support staff. 2.11 Party: any party to this Action, including all of its officers, directors, 9 10 employees, consultants, retained experts, and Counsel of Record (and their support 11 staffs). 2.12 Producing Party: a Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or 12 13 Discovery Material in this Action. 14 2.13 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation 15 support services (e.g., photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or 16 demonstrations, and organizing, storing, or retrieving data in any form or medium) 17 and their employees and subcontractors. 2.14 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is 18 19 designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” 2.15 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery 20 21 Material from a Producing Party. 22 23 3. SCOPE 24 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only 25 Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or 26 extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or 27 28 4 1 compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or 2 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 3 4 trial judge. This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial. 5 6 4. DURATION Once a case proceeds to trial, information that was designated as 7 8 CONFIDENTIAL or maintained pursuant to this protective order used or introduced 9 as an exhibit at trial becomes public and will be presumptively available to all 10 members of the public, including the press, unless compelling reasons supported by 11 specific factual findings to proceed otherwise are made to the trial judge in advance 12 of the trial. See Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1180-81 (distinguishing “good cause” 13 showing for sealing documents produced in discovery from “compelling reasons” 14 standard when merits-related documents are part of court record). Accordingly, the 15 terms of this protective order do not extend beyond the commencement of the trial. 16 17 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 18 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. 19 Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection 20 under this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material 21 that qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must 22 designate for protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or 23 written communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, 24 documents, items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not 25 swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order. 26 27 28 Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper 5 1 purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose 2 unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating 3 Party to sanctions. 4 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it 5 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must 6 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation. 7 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in 8 this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise 9 stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection 10 under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or 11 produced. 12 Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 13 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic 14 documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial 15 proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend 16 “CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that 17 contains protected material. If only a portion of the material on a page qualifies for 18 protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) 19 (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). 20 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection 21 need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated 22 which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and 23 before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be 24 deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the 25 documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which 26 documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, 27 before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the 28 6 1 “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a 2 portion of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also 3 must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings 4 in the margins). (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identifies 5 6 the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the 7 deposition all protected testimony. (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and 8 9 for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on 10 the exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the 11 legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information 12 warrants protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the 13 protected portion(s). 5.3 14 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent 15 failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive 16 the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. 17 Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable 18 efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this 19 Order. 20 21 22 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a 23 designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s 24 Scheduling Order. 25 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute 26 resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq. and if applicable, schedule a pre- 27 discovery motion telephonic conference with the Court prior to filing a discovery 28 7 1 motion, as set forth in the Judges’ Procedures, Discovery Motions, available at 2 http://www.cacd.uscourts.gov/honorable-gail-j-standish. 6.3 3 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on 4 the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper 5 purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other 6 parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating 7 Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall 8 continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is 9 entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the 10 challenge. 11 12 13 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is 14 disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this 15 Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action, or as 16 required by statute. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories 17 of persons and under the conditions described in this Order. When the Action has 18 been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 19 below (FINAL DISPOSITION). 20 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a 21 location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons 22 authorized under this Order. 23 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless 24 otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a 25 Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated 26 “CONFIDENTIAL” only to: 27 28 (a) The proposed member of the class or member of the class if the class is 8 1 certified, to whom the “CONFIDENTIAL” information specifically pertains, but 2 unless the “CONFIDENTIAL” information pertains exclusively to that individual, 3 not unless the individual signs the “Acknowledgement and Agreement to Be 4 Bound” (Exhibit A); 5 (b) Counsel providing individual representation to the proposed members 6 of the class or members of the class if the class is certified, but only as to 7 “CONFIDENTIAL” information pertaining to the proposed class member or class 8 member; 9 (c) the Receiving Party’s Counsel of Record in this Action, as well as 10 employees, volunteer attorneys or interns of said Counsel of Record to whom it is 11 reasonably necessary to disclose the information for this Action ; 12 13 14 (d) the officers, directors, and employees of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action; (e) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom 15 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the 16 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 17 (f) the court and its personnel; 18 (g) court reporters and their staff; 19 (h) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional 20 Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have 21 signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 22 23 24 (i) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information; (j) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the 25 Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing party 26 requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit 1 hereto; and (2) they will 27 not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the 28 9 1 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise 2 agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed 3 deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may 4 be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except 5 as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and (k) 6 7 any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions. 8 9 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED 10 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 15 16 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order; (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order 17 to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the 18 subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include 19 a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and 20 21 22 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with 23 the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this 24 action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the 25 subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s 26 permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking 27 protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions 28 10 1 should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action 2 to disobey a lawful directive from another court. 3 4 5 6 9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a 7 Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information 8 produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the 9 remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be 10 construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections. 11 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to 12 produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is 13 subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s 14 confidential information, then the Party shall: 15 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party 16 that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality 17 agreement with a Non-Party; 18 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated 19 Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably 20 specific description of the information requested; and 21 22 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party, if requested. 23 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within 24 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party 25 may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery 26 request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall 27 not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the 28 11 1 confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court. 2 Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and 3 expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material. 4 5 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed 6 7 Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this 8 Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in 9 writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts 10 to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or 11 persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, 12 and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and 13 Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 14 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 21 procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production 22 without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and 23 (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a 24 communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work 25 product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated 26 protective order submitted to the court. 27 28 12 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. 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this 4 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 11 may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the 12 specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party’s request to file Protected Material 13 under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information 14 in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court. 15 16 17 13. FINAL DISPOSITION After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 60 18 days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return 19 all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in 20 this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, 21 summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected 22 Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, if requested by 23 any Party, the Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing 24 Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day 25 deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected 26 Material that was returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has 27 not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format 28 13 1 reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Parties may retain Protected 2 Material for government record retention purposes as required by statute, but only 3 under conditions that maintain the confidentiality of the information in accordance 4 with this Protective Order. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to 5 retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing 6 transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert 7 reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such 8 materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or 9 constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in 10 Section 4 (DURATION). 11 12 14. VIOLATION 13 Any violation of this Order may be punished by appropriate measures including, 14 without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary sanctions. 15 16 IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD. 17 18 19 Date: April 4, 2018 Respectfully submitted, 20 /s/ Jingni Zhao Jingni (Jenny) Zhao Anoop Prasad Kevin Chun Hoi Lo Melanie Chun-Yu Kim Winifred Kao ASIAN AMERICANS ADVANCING JUSTICE – ASIAN LAW CAUCUS 21 22 23 24 25 /s/ Laboni Hoq Laboni Hoq Nicole Gon Ochi Christopher Lapinig ASIAN AMERICANS ADVANCING JUSTICE – LOS ANGELES 26 27 28 14 1 /s/ Darlene Cho Michael L.
