IV.

DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
1.

Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided herein, or as

3

otherwise ordered, material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly

4

designated before it is disclosed or produced. Designations in conformity with this Order

5

require:

6

a.

For information in documentary form. That the Producing Party

7

shall affix the legend "Confidential" on each page that contains Protected Material. If only a

8

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

9

must clearly identify the protected portions) (e.g., by making appropriate makings in the

10

margins or redacting protected portions). A Producing Party that makes original documents or

11

materials available for inspection need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting

12

Party has indicated which material it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and

13

before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed

x.~~M
~~o

14

"Confidential." After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and

~ ~~~

15

produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for

16

protection under this Order, and, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party

17

must affix the appropriate legend on each page that contains Protected Material. If only a

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

19

must clearly identify the protected portions) (e.g., by making appropriated markings in the

20

margins or by redacting protected portions).

21

b.

For testimonygiven in deposition or in other pretrial or trial

22

broceedings. That before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding, the Party or

23

non-party offering or sponsoring the testimony shall identify on the record all protected

24

testimony and further specify any portions ofthe testimony that qualify as "Confidential." When

25

it is impractical to identify separately each portion of testimony that is entitled to protection, the

26

Party or non-party that sponsors, offers, or gives the testimony may invoke on the record (before

27

the deposition or proceeding is concluded) a right to have up to thirty (30) days to identify the

28

specific portions or the testimony as to which protection is sought. Only those portions of the

2

within the thirty (30) days shall be covered by the provisions of this Protective Order. Upon

3

request of a Designating Party, transcript pages containing Protected Material must be separately

4

bound by the court reporter, who must affix to the top of each such page the legend

"Confidential" as instructed by the Party or non-party offering or sponsoring the witness or

presenting the testimony.

c.

For information produced in some form other than documentary

10

"Confidential." If only portions of the information or item warrant protection, the Producing

and for any other tangible items. That the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the

Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected portions.

13

things as "Confidential" pursuant to this Protective Order shall not constitute a waiver of any

14

otherwise valid claim for protection, provided that the provisions of this paragraph are satisfied.

15

If the Designating Party discovers that information should have been but was not designated

16

"Confidential" or if the Designating Party receives notice that would enable the Designating

17

Party to learn that it has disclosed such information, the Designating Party must immediately

18

notify all other parties. In such event, within thirty (30) days of notifying all other Parties, the

19

Designating Party must also provide copies of the "Confidential" information designated in

20

accordance with this Protective Order. After receipt of such re-designated information, the

21

"Confidential" information shall be treated as required by this Protective Order, and the

~xa

Receiving Party shall promptly, but in no event more than fourteen (14) calendar days from the

23

receipt of the re-designated information, return to the Designating Party all previously produced

24

copies of the same unlegended documents or things. The Designating Party and the Parties may

25

agree to alternative means. The Receiving Party shall receive no liability, under this Protective

26

Order or otherwise, for any disclosure of information contained in unlegended documents or

27

things occurring before the Receiving Party was placed on notice of the Designating Party's

28

claims of confidentiality.

5

Designating Party an opportunity of not less than ten (10)calendar days to review the designated

6

material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if no change in the designations is offered, to

limited purposes of prosecuting, defending, attempting to settle, or settling this action. Such

17

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

FILING PROTECTED MATERIAL

2

The parties acknowledge that there is a presumption of public access to judicial files and

3

records. Therefore, a party seeking to file a confidential document under seal must file a motion

4'I to seal and must comply with the Ninth Circuit's directives in Kamakana v. City and County of
S I Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172 (9th Cir. 2006). Because this Court has adopted electronic filing
6

procedures, attorneys must file documents under seal using the court's electronic filing

~l

procedures.

The parties bear the burden of showing that a specific document or documents are secret

Ifthe grounds for a motion to seal is that the opposing party (or non-party) has designated

a document as subject to a protection pursuant to the stipulated protective order, the movant must

notify the opposing party (or non-party) at least seven days prior to the filing of the designated

document. The designating party must then make a good faith determination if the relevant

22

standard for sealing is met. To the extent the designating party does not believe the relevant

23

standard for sealing can be met, it shall indicate that the document may be filed publicly no later

24

than four days after receiving notice of the intended ding. To the extent that the designating

25

party believes that relevant standard for sealing can be met, it shall provide a declaration

26

supporting that assertion no later than four days after receiving notice of the intended filing. The

27

filing party shall than attach that declaration to its motion to seal the designated material. If the

In the subject case, the parties acknowledge that many of the documents that the parties

4

may designate as "confidential" would normally not meet the standards. However, because there

5

is a parallel criminal proceeding involving Defendant Lopera, the parties, in an abundance of

6

caution, intend to designate certain evidence relevant to the criminal proceedings as

Il "confidential" until the criminal proceedings are complete or the subject documents are made

public.
