INTRODUCTION

16

1.1

Purposes and Limitations

17

Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of

18

confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public disclosure

19

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

20

documents that warrant protection that have been identified to date include documents of

21

identification (such as passports and driver licenses) and California Law Enforcement

22

Telecommunications System (CLETS) information and records. Accordingly, the parties hereby

23

stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the following Stipulated Protective Order, which the

24

parties agree is necessary to ensure protection of protected materials. The parties acknowledge that

25

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

26

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

27

items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles.

AMENDED STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. 16-CV-01140-DAD-SKO

1

1.2

2

As set forth above, Defendant County of San Diego will be producing CLETS information

Good Cause Statement

3

and records, which are unavailable to the general public. Access to CLETS information and records

4

is strictly prohibited unless authorized by law. San Diego County contends restrictions on access to

5

such information are necessary because disclosure may jeopardize the security of CLETS, the

6

effectiveness of law enforcement efforts that rely on CLETS, and disclosure in this action may

7

invoke individual privacy rights. San Diego County accordingly believes that it cannot provide

8

CLETS information and records pertaining to Plaintiff Maria Eva Martinez absent a court order.

9

Mrs. Martinez will be producing documents, including her passport and driver license, which

10

contain personal and confidential information that is unavailable to the general public. The

11

disclosure of this information to the public may violate Mrs. Martinez’s privacy rights. Given the

12

sensitive nature of these documents and the potential harm Mrs. Martinez would face if the

13

documents were disseminated publicly (including identity theft), Mrs. Martinez believes it is

14

prudent to ensure that a protective order is in place before she produces copies of her passport and

15

driver license.

16

Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of

17

disputes over confidentiality, to adequately protect information the parties are entitled or required to

18

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

19

materials in preparation for and in the conduct of the litigation, to address their handling at the end

20

of the litigation and to serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is justified

21

in this matter.

22

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

5
6

(as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted from Protected Material; (2) all

7

copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony,

8

conversations, or presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material.

9

However, the protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order do not cover the following

10

information: (a) any information that is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to a Receiving

11

Party or becomes part of the public domain after its disclosure to a Receiving Party as a result of

12

publication not involving a violation of this Order, including becoming part of the public record

13

through trial or otherwise; and (b) any information known to the Receiving Party prior to the

14

disclosure or obtained by the Receiving Party after the disclosure from a source who obtained the

15

information lawfully and under no obligation of confidentiality to the Designating Party. Any use of

16

Protected Material at trial shall be governed by a separate agreement or order.

17

4.

DURATION
Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by this

18
19

Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court order

20

otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and

21

defenses in this action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion

22

and exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this action, including the

23

time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time pursuant to applicable law.

24

5.

25

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1

Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each Party or

26

Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take care to

27

limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. The

28

Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or
AMENDED STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. 16-CV-01140-DAD-SKO

4

1

oral or written communications that qualify – so that other portions of the material, documents,

2

items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within

3

the ambit of this Order.

4

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are shown

5

to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily

6

encumber or retard the case development process or to impose unnecessary expenses and burdens

7

on other parties) expose the Designating Party to sanctions.

8
9
10
11

If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it designated for
protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must promptly notify all other
Parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.
5.2

Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order

12

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

13

Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so

14

designated before the material is disclosed or produced.

15
16

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
(a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, but

17

excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party

18

affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL – Subject to Protective Order in Martinez v. Tulare County, et

19

al., United States District Court, Eastern District of California, Case No.: 16-cv-01140-DAD-SKO”

20

to each page that contains protected material. A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents

21

or materials available for inspection need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting

22

Party has indicated which material it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and

23

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

24

“CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and

25

produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for

26

protection under this Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party

27

must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL – Subject to Protective Order in Martinez v. Tulare County, et al.,

28

United States District Court, Eastern District of California, Case No.: 16-cv-01140-DAD-SKO”
AMENDED STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. 16-CV-01140-DAD-SKO

5

1

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

2

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

3

portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
(b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, that the

4
5

Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other

6

proceeding, all protected testimony, or alternatively, that the Designating Party identify protected

7

testimony by notifying all Parties, in writing, of the specific pages and lines of the transcript or

8

recording that should be protected, within 14 days of receipt of a transcript or recording of a

9

deposition. All transcripts or recordings of depositions shall be treated as protected for 14 days after

10

receipt of the transcript or recording, or until either written notice of confidentiality designations by

11

any Party or written notice that no such designations will be made is received from such Parties,

12

whichever occurs first.
(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any other

13
14

tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the container or

15

containers in which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL – Subject to

16

Protective Order in Martinez v. Tulare County, et al., United States District Court, Eastern District

17

of California, Case No.: 16-cv-01140-DAD-SKO.” If only a portion or portions of the information

18

or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected

19

portion(s).

20

5.3

Inadvertent Failures to Designate. An inadvertent failure to designate qualified

21

information or items does not waive the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this

22

Order for such material. Upon correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make

23

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

24

Order.

25

6.

26

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1

Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of

27

confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s confidentiality

28

designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic
AMENDED STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. 16-CV-01140-DAD-SKO

6

1

burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right to

2

challenge a confidentiality designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the

3

original designation is disclosed.

4

6.2

Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution process

5

by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and describing the basis for each

6

challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written notice must

7

recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with this specific paragraph

8

of the Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith and must

9

begin the process by conferring directly via telephone within three days of the date of receipt of

10

notice. In conferring, the Challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief that the

11

confidentiality designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party an opportunity to

12

review the designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if no change in designation is

13

offered, to explain the basis for the chosen designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the

14

next stage of the challenge process only if it has engaged in this meet and confer process first or

15

establishes that the Designating Party is unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in a

16

timely manner.

17

6.3

Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court

18

intervention, the Challenging Party may file a motion challenging a confidentiality designation

19

within fourteen days of the initial notice of challenge or within seven days of the parties agreeing

20

that the meet and confer process will not resolve their dispute (or, if one party refuses entirely to

21

participate, within seven days of reaching an impasse after making reasonable efforts to obtain the

22

other party’s participation), whichever is later, if there is good cause for the challenge. Any motion

23

brought pursuant to this provision must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that

24

the movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed by the preceding

25

paragraph.

26

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

27

Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose

28

unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions.
AMENDED STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. 16-CV-01140-DAD-SKO

7

1

All parties shall continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is

2

entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the court rules on the challenge.

3

7.

4

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1

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

5

produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this case only for prosecuting,

6

defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to

7

the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order. When the litigation has

8

been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL

9

DISPOSITION).

10
11
12

Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location and in a
secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under this Order.
7.2

Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered

13

by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any

14

information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

15

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

16

of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information

17

for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is

18

attached hereto as Exhibit A;

19

(b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the Receiving

20

Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the

21

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

22

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

23

reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement

24

to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

25

(d) the court and its personnel;

26

(e) court reporters and their staff, professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and

27

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

28

signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
AMENDED STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. 16-CV-01140-DAD-SKO

8

1

(f) during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is reasonably

2

necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A),

3

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

4

deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material must be separately

5

bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this

6

Stipulated Protective Order.
(g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a custodian or

7

8

other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information.

8.

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER

10

LITIGATION

11

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

12

disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party

13

must:
(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include a

14
15

copy of the subpoena or court order;
(b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to issue in the

16
17

other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or order is subject to this

18

Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and
(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by the

19
20

Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the subpoena

21
22

or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL”

23

before a determination by the court from which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has

24

obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and

25

expense of seeking protection in that court of its confidential material – and nothing in these

26

provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to

27

disobey a lawful directive from another court.

28

9.

A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN THIS

AMENDED STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. 16-CV-01140-DAD-SKO

9

1

LITIGATION

2

(a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-Party in

3

this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by Non-Parties in

4

connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order.

5

Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional

6

protections.

7

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

8

Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement with the

9

Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall:
(1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that some or

10
11

all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party;
(2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective Order

12
13

in this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of the

14

information requested; and

15

(3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party.

16

(c) If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court within 14

17

days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may produce the

18

Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely

19

seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession or

20

control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by

21

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

22

seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.

23

10.

24

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected

25

Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated Protective Order,

26

the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the

27

unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected

28

Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the
AMENDED STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. 16-CV-01140-DAD-SKO

10

1

terms of this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and

2

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

3

11.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED

4

MATERIAL

5

When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain inadvertently

6

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

7

Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B).

8

12.

12.1

9
10

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

seek its modification by the court in the future.
12.2

11

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

12

no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any

13

information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no

14

Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by

15

this Protective Order.
12.3

16

Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the Designating Party or

17

a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in the

18

public record in this action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any

19

Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 141. Protected Material may only be filed

20

under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at

21

issue. If a Receiving Party's request to file Protected Material under seal pursuant to Civil Local

22

Rule 141 is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in the public

23

record pursuant to Civil Local Rule 141 unless otherwise instructed by the court.

24

13.

25

FINAL DISPOSITION
Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined in paragraph 4, each

26

Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material.

27

As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations,

28

summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether
AMENDED STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CASE NO. 16-CV-01140-DAD-SKO

11

1

the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a written

2

certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party)

3

by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material

4

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

5

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

6

Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy

7

of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda,

8

correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant

9

and expert work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival

10

copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set

11

forth in Section 4 (DURATION).

ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND

4

I, _____________________________ [print or type full name], of _________________ [print or

5

type full address], declare under penalty of perjury that I have read in its entirety and understand

6

the Stipulated Protective Order that was issued by the United States District Court for the Eastern

7

District of California on [date] in the case of Maria Eva Martinez v. Tulare County, San Diego

8

County, and DOES 1-100, No. 16-cv-01140-DAD-SKO. I agree to comply with and to be bound

9

by all the terms of this Stipulated Protective Order and I understand and acknowledge that failure

10

to so comply could expose me to sanctions and punishment in the nature of contempt. I solemnly

11

promise that I will not disclose in any manner any information or item that is subject to this
