A.
PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
2
Discovery in this action might involve production of confidential, proprietary,
3
or private information for which special protection from public disclosure and from
4
use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted.
5
Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the
6
following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does
7
not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that
8
the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited
9
information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable
10
legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below,
11
that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential
12
information under seal; Local Rule 141 sets forth the procedures that must be followed
13
and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the Court
14
to file material under seal.
15
Notwithstanding the terms and conditions of this Stipulated Protective Order,
16
all persons and/or entities hereto (including Parties to the Action as well as any
17
executing Non-Party to the Action) shall fully comply with any other court order or
18
applicable law.

GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT
20
This action might involve trade secrets, attorney-client privileged information
21
and attorney work product from the underlying state court litigation out of which this
22
declaratory relief action arises, 1 and other valuable research, development,
23
commercial, financial, technical and/or proprietary information for which special
24
protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecution
25
of this action is warranted. Such possible confidential and proprietary materials and
26
information consist of, among other things, confidential business or financial
27

Joaquin County Superior Court, Case No. STK-CVUBC-2017-10696.

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
1
SACRO & WALKER LLP
700 N. Brand Boulevard, Suite 610
Glendale, California 91203
1
information, information regarding confidential business practices, information
2
contained within attorney timekeeping records (including information implicating the
3
attorney-client privilege and privacy rights of third parties), information otherwise
4
generally unavailable to the public, or which may be privileged or otherwise protected
5
from disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common
6
law.
7
Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt
8
resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately
9
protect information the parties are entitled or required to keep confidential, to ensure
10
that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in preparation
11
for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of the litigation,
12
and to serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is justified in
13
this matter. It is the intent of the parties that information will not be designated as
14
confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good-
15
faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and there
16
is good cause why it should not be part of the public record of this case.

SCOPE

The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only

Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted
9
from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of
10

or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. However, the protections
12
conferred by this Stipulation and Order do not cover the following information: (a)
13
any information that is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to a Receiving
14
Party or becomes part of the public domain after its disclosure to a Receiving Party
15
as a result of publication not involving a violation of this Order, including becoming
16
part of the public record through trial or otherwise; and (b) any information known to
17
the Receiving Party prior to the disclosure or obtained by the Receiving Party after
18
the disclosure from a source who obtained the information lawfully and under
19
obligation of confidentiality to the Designating Party. Any use of Protected Material
20
at trial shall be governed by the orders of the trial judge. This Order does not govern
21
the use of Protected Material at trial.
22

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1
Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.
5
Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this
6
Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies
7
under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for protection
8
only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written communications that
9
qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, items, or communications
10
for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of
11
this Order.
12
Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations
13
that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper
14
purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose
15
unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating Party
16
to sanctions. If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items
17
that it designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party
18
must promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable
19
designation.
20
5.2
Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in
21
this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise
22
stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection
23
under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or
24
produced.
25
Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
26
(a)
for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic
27
documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial
28
proceedings), that the Producing Party affix, at a minimum, the legend
6
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
SACRO & WALKER LLP
700 N. Brand Boulevard, Suite 610
Glendale, California 91203
1
“CONFIDENTIAL (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIALITY LEGEND”), to each page
2
that contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page
3
qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected
4
portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
5
A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection
6
need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated
7
which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before
8
the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed
9
“CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants
10
copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or
11
portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the
12
specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIALITY
13
LEGEND” to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions
14
of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly
15
identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the
16
margins).
17
(b)
for testimony given in deposition, that the Designating Party identify the
18
protected Disclosure or Discovery Material and all protected testimony on the record,
19
either before the close of the deposition or within 10 days following receipt of the
20
deposition transcript.
21
(c)
for information produced in some form other than documentary and for
22
any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the
23
exterior of the container or containers in which the information or item is stored the
24
“CONFIDENTIALITY LEGEND.” If only a portion or portions of the information
25
or item warrants protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall
26
identify the protected portion(s).
27
28
5.3
Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent
failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the
7
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
1
Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material.
2
Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable
3
efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this
4
Order.
5
6.
6.1
6
Timing of Challenges.
Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a
7
designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s
8
Scheduling Order.
6.2
9
10
Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute
resolution process under Local Rule 251(b).
6.3
11
SACRO & WALKER LLP
700 N. Brand Boulevard, Suite 610
Glendale, California 91203
CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on
12
the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose
13
(e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may
14
expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived
15
or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to afford the
16
material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing
17
Party’s designation until the Court rules on the challenge.
18
19
7.
ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1
Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is
20
disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this
21
Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such
22
Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the
23
conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a Receiving
24
Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION).
25
Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a
26
location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons
27
authorized under this Order.

PROTECTED
MATERIAL
SUBPOENAED
OR
ORDERED
PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION
10
If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation
11
that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as
12
“CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:
13
14
15
(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
16
issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena
17
or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of
18
this Stipulated Protective Order; and
19
20
(c)
cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued
by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
21
If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with
22
the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action
23
as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the Court from which the subpoena
24
or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The
25
Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court
26
of its confidential material. Nothing in these provisions should be construed as
27
authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action to disobey a lawful
28
directive from another court.

3
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-
4
Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information
5
produced by a Non-Party in connection with this litigation is protected by the
6
remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be
7
construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.
8

9.
(b)
In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to
9
produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is
10
subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s
11
confidential information, then the Party shall:
(1)
12
promptly notify in writing the requesting party and the Non-Party
13
that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement
14
with a Non-Party;
(2)
15
promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated
16
Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably
17
specific description of the information requested; and
(3)
18
19
20
make the information requested available for inspection by the
Non-Party, if requested.
(c)
If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this Court within
21
14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party
22
may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery
23
request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall
24
not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the
25
confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the Court.
26
Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense
27
of seeking protection in this Court of its Protected Material.

Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately: (a) notify in
5
writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures; (b) use its best efforts
6
to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material; (c) inform the person or
7
persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order;

PROTECTED MATERIAL
11
SACRO & WALKER LLP
700 N. Brand Boulevard, Suite 610
Glendale, California 91203
UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
12
When a Producing Party gives notice to a Receiving Party that certain
13
inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection,
14
the obligations of the Receiving Party are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil
15
Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure
16
may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior
17
privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the
18
parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or
19
information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the
20
parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted
21
to the Court.
22
23
24
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.
25
12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this
26
Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to
27
disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this
28
12
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
SACRO & WALKER LLP
700 N. Brand Boulevard, Suite 610
Glendale, California 91203
1
Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any
2
ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order.
3
12.3 Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the
4
Designating Party or a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested
5
persons, a Party may not file in the public record in this action any Protected Material
6
without complying with Local Rule 141. A Party that seeks to file under seal any
7
Protected Material must comply with Local Rule 141. Protected Material may only
8
be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific
9
Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected Material under seal is
10
denied by the Court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in the public
11
record unless otherwise instructed by the Court.
12
12.4 Use of Protected Material at Trial: The Parties shall meet and confer
13
regarding the procedures for use of Protected Materials at trial and shall move the
14
Court for entry of an appropriate order. The use of designated materials at trial shall
15
be governed by the orders of the trial judge.
16
12.5 Counsel Bound by Protective Order: Counsel agree to be bound by the
17
terms set forth herein with regard to any Protective Materials that have been produced
18
before the Court signs this Stipulation and Protective Order.
19
12.6 New Parties: Any new party to the Action who has not executed this
20
Stipulation and Protective Order as of the time it is presented to the Court for signature
21
may thereafter become a Party to this Stipulation and Protective Order by its
22
Counsel’s signing and dating a copy of Ex. A attached hereto, and filing the same
23
with the Court, and serving copies of such signed and dated copy upon the other
24
Parties to this Stipulation and Protective Order.
25
13.
FINAL DISPOSITION
26
After final resolution of this Action through settlement or a final, non-
27
appealable judgment, each Receiving Party may retain copies of any Protected
28
Material produced to them as reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legally
13
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
1
required document retention time periods; (b) comply with requests for review by
2
reinsurers, auditors, and/or regulators; (c) the extent necessary to exercise or enforce
3
any subrogation rights and/or (d) meet other business requirements. Any person or
4
entity retaining Protected Material shall maintain its confidentiality in accordance
5
with this Order until such material is returned or destroyed. This paragraph does not
6
apply to any Protected Material ordered by a court to be produced without the
7
limitations set forth in this Order. The Parties further agree that all documents
8
generated by them that summarize or otherwise include material designated as
9
“CONFIDENTIAL” are governed by this Order.
