Plaintiff Rickey Henry (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Central Freight Lines, Inc. (“Defendant”)
hereby stipulate by and through their respective attorneys of record as follows:

3

1.

PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

4

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

5

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

6

from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted, including, but not

7

limited to, the following documents and information: the financial payroll records of putative members

8

of the class/subclasses that Plaintiff seeks to represent; contact information for putative members of the

9

class/subclasses that Plaintiff seeks to represent; records that identify and/or reference the healthcare

10

patients that Defendant; and the employment policies, procedures and/or practices of Defendant. Each

11

the above-referenced documents identified above require protection from public access and/or disclosure

12

because they either implicate the financial privacy, privacy and/or patient privacy concerns of third-

13

parties, or relate to confidential business and/or proprietary documents and/or information that

14

Defendant does not publicly disseminate, respectively. The parties hereby stipulate that a court order

15

rather than a private agreement is necessary because the parties intend to use, disseminate, and/or

16

disclose such documents and/or information in the context of the parties’ litigation, and request that the

17

Court, subject to its approval, enter the parties’ Stipulation and [Proposed] Protective Order (“Stipulated

18

Protective Order”). Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter the

19

following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

under seal; Eastern District of California Civil Local Rule 141 (“Local Rule 141”) sets forth the

25

procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission

26

from the court to file material under seal.

SCOPE

14

The protections conferred by this Stipulated Protective Order cover not only Protected Material

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

4.

DURATION

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

28

Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court order
3
STIPULATION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER
45576285v.1

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

5.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

6

5.1

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

this Order.

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

expose the Designating Party to sanctions.

17

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

18

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

19

that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.

20

5.2

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

21

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

22

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

23

the material is disclosed or produced.

24
25

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
(a)

for information in documentary form (e.g., paper documents, but excluding

26

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

27

“CONFIDENTIAL– Subject to Protective Order – Henry v. Central Freight Lines, Inc., Case No. 2:16-

28

cv-00280-JAM-EFB (E.D. Cal.)” or substantially identical wording to each page that contains protected
4
STIPULATION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER
45576285v.1

1

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

2

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

3

margins).

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL – Subject to Protective Order –

11

Henry v. Central Freight Lines, Inc., Case No.

12

substantially identical wording to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or

13

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

14

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

2:16-cv-00280-JAM-EFB (E.D. Cal.)” legend or

15

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

16

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

17

all protected testimony.

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

Protective Order – Henry v. Central Freight Lines, Inc., Case No. 2:16-cv-00280-JAM-EFB (E.D.

22

Cal.)” or substantially identical wording. If only a portion or portions of the information or item warrant

23

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

24

5.3

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

the provisions of this Order.

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

is disclosed.

8

6.2

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other forms of communication are not

14

sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service of notice. In conferring, the Challenging Party must

15

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

16

Designating Party an opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider the circumstances,

17

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

18

Challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if it has engaged in this

19

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

20

meet and confer process in a timely manner.

21

6.3

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

22

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

23

under Eastern District of California Civil Local Rule 251 (and in compliance with Local Rule 141, if

24

applicable), including a challenge to the designation of a deposition transcript or any portions thereof.

25

The Designating Party may also file a motion to retain confidentiality for each challenged designation.

26

Any motion brought pursuant to this provision must be accompanied by a competent declaration

27

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

28

preceding paragraph.
6
STIPULATION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER
45576285v.1

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

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. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to the

12

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

13

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

14

DISPOSITION).

15
16
17

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

18

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

19

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;

23
24

(b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the Receiving
Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation;

25

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

26

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

27

Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

28

(d) the court and its personnel;
7
STIPULATION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER
45576285v.1

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material must be separately bound by the court

8

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

9
10
11

(g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a custodian or
other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information.

12

LITIGATION

13
14

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:

15
16

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER

(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include a copy of
the subpoena or court order;

17

(b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to issue in the other

18

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

19

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

20
21

(c)

cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by the

Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

court.

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

5

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

6

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

7

with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these

8

provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.

9

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

10

confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement with the Non-Party

11

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

12
13

(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;

14

(2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective Order in this

15

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

16

requested; and

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request at this time. The Receiving

21

Party and other Parties to this litigation agree to confer about and take reasonable measures to extend

22

the deadline to respond to such discovery during this 14-day period, to allow the Non-Party to take

23

action. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any

24

information in its possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-

25

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

26

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

UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order,

7

and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound”

8

that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

9

11.

10

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED
MATERIAL

11

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

12

material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are

13

those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify

14

whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without

15

prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach

16

an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or information covered by the attorney-

17

client privilege or work product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated

18

protective order submitted to the court.

19
20
21
22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

Protective Order.

27
28

12.3

Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the Designating Party

or a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in the
10
STIPULATION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER
45576285v.1

1

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

2

Material must comply with Local Rule 141. Protected Material may only be filed under seal pursuant to

3

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

4

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

5

privileged, protectable as a trade secret, or otherwise entitled to protection under the law. If a Receiving

6

Party's request to file Protected Material under seal pursuant to Local Rule 141 is denied by the court,

7

then the Receiving Party may file the information in the public record pursuant to Local Rule 141 unless

8

otherwise instructed by the court.

9

13.

FINAL DISPOSITION

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or

17

destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations,

18

summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding

19

this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial,

20

deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits,

21

expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials

22

contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material

23

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

24

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
