2

PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
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. The

9

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

10

does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the

Stipulation for Protection of Confidential Information
& [Proposed] Protective Order

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

separate agreement or order.

14

4.

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

5.

22

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
5.1

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

this Order.
Charlene Jimerson v. City of Hayward.
USDC Case No. 16-cv-03176 (YGR)

-4-

Stipulation for Protection of Confidential Information
& [Proposed] Protective Order

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

expose the Designating Party to sanctions.

5

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

6

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

7

withdrawing the mistaken designation.

8
9

5.2

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

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

10

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

11

material is disclosed or produced.

12

Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins and must specify, for each portion, the

18

level of protection being asserted (“CONFIDENTIAL”).

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

documents, the Producing Party must affix the appropriate legend (“CONFIDENTIAL”) to each page

26

that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for

27

protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making

28

appropriate markings in the margins).

USDC Case No. 16-cv-03176 (YGR)

-5-

Stipulation for Protection of Confidential Information
& [Proposed] Protective Order

1

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

2

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

3

all protected testimony,

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

portions of the information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable,

8

shall identify the protected portion(s).

9

5.3

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

provisions of this Order.

14

6.

15

CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6.1

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

is disclosed.

21

6.2

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

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

Stipulation for Protection of Confidential Information
& [Proposed] Protective Order

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

timely manner.

6

6.3

Judicial Intervention.

If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court

7

intervention, the parties shall follow the Court’s Standing Order in Civil Cases regarding

8

Discovery and Discovery Motions. The parties may file a joint letter brief regarding retaining

9

confidentiality within 21 days of the initial notice of challenge or within 14 days of the parties

10

agreeing that the meet and confer process will not resolve their dispute, whichever is earlier.

11

Failure by a Designating Party to file such discovery dispute letter within the applicable 21 or 14

12

day period (set forth above) with the Court shall automatically waive the confidentiality

13

designation for each challenged designation. If, after submitting a joint letter brief, the Court

14

allows that a motion may be filed, any such motion must be accompanied by a competent

15

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

16

imposed in the preceding paragraph.

17

discovery matter to a Magistrate Judge.

The Court, in its discretion, may elect to transfer the

18

In addition, the parties may file a joint letter brief regarding a challenge to a confidentiality

19

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

20

of a deposition transcript or any portions thereof. If, after submitting a joint letter brief, the Court

21

allows that a motion may be filed, any motion brought pursuant to this provision must be

22

accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet

23

and confer requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph. The Court, in its discretion, may

24

elect to refer the discovery matter to a Magistrate Judge.

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived the confidentiality designation by failing to file

Stipulation for Protection of Confidential Information
& [Proposed] Protective Order

1

a letter brief to retain confidentiality as described above, all parties shall continue to afford the

2

material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s

3

designation until the court rules on the challenge.

5

ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
7.1

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10
11
12
13

DISPOSITION).
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

14

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

15

or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

hereto as Exhibit A;

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25

Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

26

(d) the Court and its personnel;

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

5

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

6

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

7

In the event the parties cannot agree upon whether disclosure is “reasonable necessary” said parties shall

8

meet and confer on the matter and if there is no resolution may seek relief from the Court.

LITIGATION

13

PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER

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

14

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

15

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

16

of the subpoena or court order;

17

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

18

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

19

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

22
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.

LITIGATION

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

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

3
4

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

5

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

6

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-

7
8

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

9

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

10
11

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

12
13

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

14

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

15

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

16
17

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

18

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

19

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

20

is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the Court.

21

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

22

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 Material

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

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

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

2

that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. Nothing in this section is meant to relieve a disclosing party from

disclosure waive any claim of privilege of the disclosed material.

MATERIAL

INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED

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

9
10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

protective order submitted to the Court.

20

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

21

Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any information or

22

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

23

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

24

12.3

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

25

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

26

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

27

must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may only be filed under seal pursuant to a

28

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

Stipulation for Protection of Confidential Information
& [Proposed] Protective Order

1

Rule 79-5, a sealing order will issue only upon a request establishing that the Protected Material at issue

2

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

3

Receiving Party's request to file Protected Material under seal pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(d) is

4

denied by the Court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in the public record pursuant to

5

Civil Local Rule 79-5(e) unless otherwise instructed by the Court.

13.

FINAL DISPOSITION

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

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

14

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

15

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

16

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

17

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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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