STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

1.

PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

2

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

3

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

4

any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby

5

stipulate to and petition the court to enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties

6

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

7

discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited

8

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

9

The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated

10

Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 141

11

12

permission from the court to file material under seal.

SCOPE

21

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

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

23

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

24

presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. However, the protections

25

conferred by this Stipulation and Order do not cover the following information: (a) any information that

26

is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to a Receiving Party or becomes part of the public

27

domain after its disclosure to a Receiving Party as a result of publication not involving a violation of this

28

Order, including becoming part of the public record through trial or otherwise; and (b) any information

1

known to the Receiving Party prior to the disclosure or obtained by the Receiving Party after the

2

disclosure from a source who obtained the information lawfully and under no obligation of

3

confidentiality to the Designating Party. Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by a

4

separate agreement or order.

5

4.

DURATION

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion and exhaustion of all

10

appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this action, including the time limits for filing any

11

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

12

5.

13

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1

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

14

Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take care to limit any such

15

designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party

16

must designate for protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written

17

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

18

communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this

19

Order.

20

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

21

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

22

retard the case development process or to impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties)

23

expose the Designating Party to sanctions.

24

If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it designated for

25

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

26

it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.

27

5.2

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

28

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

30

31

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
Jarreau-Griffin v. City of Vallejo, et al. U.S.D.C. Eastern District of CA Case No. 2:12-CV-02979-KJM-KJN

1

Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so designated before the

2

material is disclosed or produced.

3

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

4

(a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, but excluding

5

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

6

“CONFIDENTIAL” to each page that contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which material it would

11

like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all of the material made

12

available for inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified

13

the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or

14

portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the specified documents,

15

the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL” legend to each page that contains Protected

16

Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing

17

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

18

margins).

19

(b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, that the Designating

20

Party identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding, all protected

21

testimony.

22

(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any other tangible

23

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

24

which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of

25

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

26

the protected portion(s).

27

5.3

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

28

qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s right to secure

30

4

31

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
Jarreau-Griffin v. City of Vallejo, et al. U.S.D.C. Eastern District of CA Case No. 2:12-CV-02979-KJM-KJN

1

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

2

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

3

of this Order.

4

6.

5

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1

Timing of Challenges.

Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

disclosed.

11

6.2

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

12

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

13

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

14

challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with this specific paragraph of the Protective

15

Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith and must begin the process by

16

conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other forms of communication are not sufficient) within

17

14 days of the date of service of notice. In conferring, the Challenging Party must explain the basis for its

18

belief that the confidentiality designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party an

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

timely manner.

24

6.3

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

25

the Designating Party shall file and serve a motion to retain confidentiality under Civil Local Rule 230

26

(and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 141, if applicable) within 21 days of the initial notice of

27

challenge or within 14 days of the parties agreeing that the meet and confer process will not resolve their

28

dispute, whichever is earlier. Each such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration

30

5

31

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
Jarreau-Griffin v. City of Vallejo, et al. U.S.D.C. Eastern District of CA Case No. 2:12-CV-02979-KJM-KJN

1

affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the preceding

2

paragraph. Failure by the Designating Party to make such a motion including the required declaration

3

within 21 days (or 14 days, if applicable) shall automatically waive the confidentiality designation for

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

the meet and confer requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph.

9

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

10

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

11

expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the

12

Designating Party has waived the confidentiality designation by failing to file a motion to retain

13

confidentiality as described above, all parties shall continue to afford the material in question the level of

14

protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the court rules on the

15

challenge.

16

7.

17

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

DISPOSITION).

23
24
25

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 by the

26

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

27

or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

28
30
31

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

10

(d) the court and its personnel;

11

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

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

15

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

agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or

17

exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material must be separately bound by the court reporter and

18

may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order.

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER
LITIGATION
If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that compels

disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:
(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 issue in the other
litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or order is subject to this Protective

1

Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and

2
3

(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by the Designating
Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking

8

protection in that court of its confidential material – and nothing in these provisions should be construed

9

as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to disobey a lawful directive from another

10

court.

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 Non-Party in this action

and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by Non-Parties in connection with
this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions
should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.
(b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce a Non-Party’s
confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement with the 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 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 in this
litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of the information
requested; and
(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 within 14 days of
receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may produce the Non-Party’s
confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective

order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to

2

the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court. Absent a court

3

order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in this court

4

of its Protected Material.

5

10.

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

6

If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected Material

7

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

8

Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b)

9

use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or

10

persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, and (d) request such

11

person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto

12

as Exhibit A.

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED
MATERIAL

material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are
those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify
whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior
privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an
agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or information covered by the attorney-client
privilege or work product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated
protective order submitted to the court.
12.

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 Order no

Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any information or
item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any
9
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
Jarreau-Griffin v. City of Vallejo, et al. U.S.D.C. Eastern District of CA Case No. 2:12-CV-02979-KJM-KJN

1

right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order.

2

12.3

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

3

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

4

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

5

must comply with Civil Local Rule141. Protected Material may only be filed under seal pursuant to a

6

court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at issue. Pursuant to Civil Local

7

Rule 141, a sealing order will issue only upon a request establishing that the Protected Material at issue

8

should be sealed pursuant to statue or other authority. If a Receiving Party's request to file Protected

9

Material under seal pursuant to Civil Local Rule 141 is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may

10

file the information in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court.

11

13.

FINAL DISPOSITION

12

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

13

Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in this

14

subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any

15

other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is

16

returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party

17

(and, if not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies

18

(by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and (2)affirms

19

that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other

20

format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel

21

are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing

22

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

23

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

24

such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order

25

as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION).
