STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, pursuant to Rule 26 of the Federal Rules of Civil

2

Procedure and Local Rule 141.1 of the Local Rules of the District Court for the Eastern District

3

of California, by and between Plaintiff Juan Trevino (“Plaintiff”) on behalf of himself and all

4

others similarly situated and Defendants Golden State FC LLC and Amazon.com, Inc.

5

(“Defendants”) (collectively, the “Parties”), by and through their respective undersigned counsel

6

of record, that in order to facilitate the exchange of information and documents which may be

7

subject to confidentiality limitations on disclosure due to federal laws, state laws, and privacy

8

rights, the Parties respectfully request that the Court sign and enter the [Proposed] Order

9

following this Stipulated Protective Order to govern the production of documents and the conduct

10

of discovery in this action.

11

1.

PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

Accordingly, the Parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter the following Stipulated

16

Protective Order. The Parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on

17

all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure

18

and use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment

19

under the applicable legal principles. The Parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section

20

12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential

21

information under seal; Local Rule 141 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and the

22

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

23

seal.

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

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

13

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

14

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

24

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

25

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

including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time pursuant to

27

applicable law.

5.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1

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

3

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

4

care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate

5

standards. The Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of material,

6

documents, items, or oral or written communications that qualify. Mass, indiscriminate, or

7

routinized designations are prohibited.

8

If Designating Party learns that information or items that it designated for protection do

9

not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must promptly notify all other Parties that it is

10
11

withdrawing the mistaken designation.
5.2

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

12

Order (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

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

16

(a)

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

17

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

18

Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each page that contains protected material. If only a

19

portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also

20

must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the

21

margins).

22

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

23

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

24

material it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all

25

the material made available for inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the

26

inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party

27

must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order.

28

Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the

MORGAN, LEWIS &
BOCKIUS LLP
ATTORNEYS AT LAW
COSTA MESA

5
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

“CONFIDENTIAL” legend to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or

2

portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly

3

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

4

(b)

for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings,

5

that the Designating Party shall either (1) identify on the record, before the close of the

6

deposition, hearing, or other proceeding, all protected testimony, or (2) designate the entirety of

7

the testimony as “confidential” (before the proceedings is concluded) with the right to identify

8

more specific portions of the testimony as to which protection is sought within 30 days following

9

receipt of the deposition transcript.

10

(c)

for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any

11

other tangible items, that the Producing Party shall affix in a prominent place on the exterior of

12

the container or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend

13

“CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information or item warrant protection,

14

the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).

15

5.3

Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to

16

designate qualified information or items does not waive the Designating Party’s right to secure

17

protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the

18

Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance

19

with the provisions of this Order. The Receiving Party shall also promptly destroy or return the

20

inadvertently produced material, and all copies thereof, and shall retain only the materials

21

designated as “confidential.”

22

6.

23

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1

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

24

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

25

designation is necessary to avoid substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic burdens, or a

26

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

27

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

28

designation is disclosed.

MORGAN, LEWIS &
BOCKIUS LLP

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

6.2

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

2

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

3

for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written

4

notice must recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with this

5

specific paragraph of the Protective Order. The Parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in

6

good faith and must begin the process by conferring directly (including voice–to-voice dialogue,

7

if feasible) within 14 calendar days of the date of service of notice. In conferring, the Challenging

8

Party must explain the basis for its belief that the confidentiality designation was not proper and

9

must give the Designating Party an opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider

10

the circumstances, and, if no change in designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen

11

designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if it

12

has engaged in this meet and confer process first or establishes that the Designating Party is

13

unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in a timely manner.

14

6.3

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

15

intervention, the Designating Party shall file and serve a motion to retain confidentiality (and in

16

compliance with Local Rule 141, if applicable) within 30 calendar days of the initial notice of

17

challenge or within 21 calendar days of the Parties agreeing that the meet and confer process will

18

not resolve their dispute, whichever is later. Each such motion must be accompanied by a

19

competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and confer

20

requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. Failure by the Designating Party to make such

21

a motion including the required declaration within 30 calendar days (or 21 calendar days, if

22

applicable) shall automatically waive the confidentiality designation for each challenged

23

designation. In addition, the Challenging Party may file a motion challenging a confidentiality

24

designation at any time if there is good cause for doing so, including a challenge to the

25

designation of a deposition transcript or any portions thereof. Any motion brought pursuant to this

26

provision must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has

27

complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph.

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

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

2

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

3

unnecessary expenses and burdens on other Parties) may expose the Challenging Party to

4

sanctions. Unless and until the Designating Party has waived the confidentiality designation by

5

failing to file a motion to retain confidentiality as described above, all Parties shall continue to

6

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

7

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

8

7.

9

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1

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

10

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

11

defending, or attempting to settle this litigation, and for no other purposes and no other client.

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under this Order.

17

7.2

Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise

18

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

19

disclose any information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

20

(a)

the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this action, as well as

21

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

22

information for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be

23

Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A;

24

(b)

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

25

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

26

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

(f)

during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is

9

reasonably necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound”

10

(Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of

11

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

12

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

13

under this Stipulated Protective Order.

14

17

OTHER LITIGATION

18

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

19

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

20

must:

21
22
23

(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 to

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court of its confidential material –

6

and nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving

7

Party in this action to disobey a lawful directive from another court.

8

9.

9

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

10

(a)

The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-

11

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

12

Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this

13

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

14

additional protections.

15

(b)

If a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce a Non-

16

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

17

the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall:

18

1)

promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party

19

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

20

Party;

21

2)

promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated

22

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

23

description of the information requested; and

24
25
26

3)

make the information requested available for inspection by the

Non-Party.
(c)

If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court

27

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

28

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

1

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

2

possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a

3

determination by the court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the

4

burden and expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.

5

10.

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were

11

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

12

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

13

11.

14

PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED MATERIAL
The Parties specifically incorporate by reference the Stipulated Rule 502(d) Order

15

concurrently submitted to the Court.

16

12.

17
18
19

MISCELLANEOUS
12.1

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

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

by this Protective Order.

24

12.3

Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the Designating

25

Party or a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not

26

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

27

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

28

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

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1

issue. Pursuant to Local Rule 141, a sealing order will issue only upon a request establishing that

2

the Protected Material at issue is privileged, protectable as a trade secret, or otherwise entitled to

3

protection under the law. If a Receiving Party's request to file Protected Material under seal

4

pursuant to Local Rule is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information

5

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

6

13.

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the

13

Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all

14

the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has

15

not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or

16

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

17

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

18

legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work

19

product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials contain Protected

20

Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to

21

this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION).
