12 TURO INC., Case No. 2:18-CV-6055-CAS-GJS
13 Plaintiff, STIPULATED PROTECTIVE
14 v.
ORDER1
15 CITY OF LOS ANGELES,
16 Defendant.

19 1. A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
20 Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential,
21 proprietary or private information for which special protection from public disclosure
22 and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted.
23 Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the
24 following Stipulated Protective Order (hereafter, “Order,” “Protective Order,” or
25 “Stipulated Protective Order”). The parties acknowledge that this Order does not
26 confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the
27
1 protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited
2 information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable
3 legal principles.
4 B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT
5 This action is likely to involve confidential and highly confidential trade
6 secrets, customer and pricing lists, financial and investor statements, Board
7 presentations and materials, and private individual location and vehicle reservation
8 information, among other valuable research, development, commercial, financial,
9 technical, and/or proprietary information, for which special protection from public
10 disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecution of this action is
11 warranted. As this case involves a party with a technology platform engaged in
12 proprietary business development and ongoing confidential investor valuations and
13 relationships, such confidential and proprietary materials and information consist of,
14 among other things, confidential business or financial information, information
15 regarding confidential business practices, or other confidential research,
16 development, or commercial information (including information implicating privacy
17 rights of third parties), information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or
18 which may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal
19 statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to expedite the
20 flow of information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality
21 of discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties are entitled to
22 keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses
23 of such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling
24 at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such
25 information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that information
26 will not be designated as confidential or highly confidential for tactical reasons and
27 that nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained
1 in a confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause why it should not be
2 part of the public record of this case.
3 C. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PROCEDURE FOR FILING UNDER SEAL
4 The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this
5 Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential or highly
6 confidential information under seal; Local Civil Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures
7 that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks
8 permission from the court to file material under seal.
9 There is a strong presumption that the public has a right of access to judicial
10 proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non-dispositive motions,
11 good cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See Kamakana v. City and
12 County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th Cir. 2006); Phillips v. Gen. Motors
13 Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002); Makar-Welbon v. Sony Electrics, Inc.,
14 187 F.R.D. 576, 577 (E.D. Wis. 1999) (even stipulated protective orders require good
15 cause showing). A specific showing of good cause or compelling reasons with proper
16 evidentiary support and legal justification, must be made with respect to Protected
17 Material that a party seeks to file under seal. The parties’ mere designation of
18 Disclosure or Discovery Material as CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY
19 CONFIDENTIAL does not—without the submission of competent evidence by
20 declaration, establishing that the material sought to be filed under seal qualifies as
21 confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable—constitute good cause.
22 Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion or trial, then
23 compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must be shown, and the relief
24 sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the specific interest to be protected. See
25 Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Ass’n, 605 F.3d 665, 677-79 (9th Cir. 2010). For each
26 item or type of information, document, or thing sought to be filed or introduced under
27 seal in connection with a dispositive motion or trial, the party seeking protection must
1 the requested sealing order. Again, competent evidence supporting the application to
2 file documents under seal must be provided by declaration.
3 Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable in
4 its entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential portions can be redacted. If
5 documents can be redacted, then a redacted version for public viewing, omitting only
6 the confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable portions of the document, shall
7 be filed. Any application that seeks to file documents under seal in their entirety
8 should include an explanation of why redaction is not feasible.

1 from a Producing Party.
3. SCOPE
2
The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only
3
Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted
4
from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of
5
Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or presentations by Parties
6
or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material.
7
Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the
8
trial judge. This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial.
9
4. DURATION
10
FINAL DISPOSITION of the action is defined as the conclusion of any
11
appellate proceedings, or, if no appeal is taken, when the time for filing of an appeal
12
has run. Except as set forth below, the terms of this Protective Order apply through
13
FINAL DISPOSITION of the action. The Parties expressly stipulate that, for archival
14
copies, as set forth in Section 13 (FINAL DISPOSITION), such copies of materials
15
shall be subject to this Protective Order, even after the FINAL DISPOSITION of the
16
case. Any Party may file a separate action for enforcement of this stipulation once all
17
proceedings in this case are complete.
18
Once a case proceeds to trial, information that was designated as
19
CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL or maintained pursuant to this
20
Protective Order used or introduced as an exhibit at trial becomes public and will be
21
presumptively available to all members of the public, including the press, unless
22
compelling reasons supported by specific factual findings to proceed otherwise are
23
made to the trial judge in advance of the trial. See Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1180-81
24
(distinguishing “good cause” showing for sealing documents produced in discovery
25
from “compelling reasons” standard when merits-related documents are part of court
26
record). Accordingly, for such materials, the terms of this Protective Order do not
27
1 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
2 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.
3 Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this
4 Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies
5 under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for protection
6 only those parts of material, documents, items or oral or written communications that
7 qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, items or communications
8 for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of
9 this Order.
10 Mass, indiscriminate or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations
11 that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper
12 purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose
13 unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating Party
14 to sanctions.
15 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it
16 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must
17 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.
18 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in
19 this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise
20 stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection
21 under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or
22 produced.
23 Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
24 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic
25 documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial
26 proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend
27 “CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”) or “HIGHLY
1 that contains protected material. If only a portion of the material on a page qualifies
2 for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s)
3 (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
4 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection
5 need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated
6 which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and
7 before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be
8 deemed “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting
9 Party has identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party
10 must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under
11 this Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party
12 must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL legend” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL legend”
13 to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion of the material on a
14 page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the
15 protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
16 (b) a Party or Non-Party may designate information disclosed during a
17 deposition as confidential or highly confidential by so indicating on the record at the
18 deposition and requesting the preparation of a separate transcript of such material (or
19 by requesting that the confidential or highly confidential material be designated as
20 such in the transcript). Alternatively, a Party or Non-Party may provisionally
21 designate the deposition transcript as subject to confidential and highly confidential
22 designations, and thereafter designate in writing, within thirty (30) days after receipt
23 of the deposition transcript for which a confidentiality designation is proposed, that
24 specific pages of the transcript and/or specific responses be treated as confidential or
25 highly confidential.
26 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for
27 any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the
1 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions
2 of the information warrants protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable,
3 shall identify the protected portion(s).
4 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent
5 failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the
6 Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material.
7 Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable
8 efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this
9 Order.
10 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
11 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a
12 designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s
13 Scheduling Order.
14 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute
15 resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq.
16 6.3 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on
17 the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose
18 (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may
19 expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived
20 or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to afford the
21 material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing
22 Party’s designation until the Court rules on the challenge.
23 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
24 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is
25 disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this
26 Action only for prosecuting, defending or attempting to settle this Action. Such
27 Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the
1 Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION).
2 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a
3 location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons
4 authorized under this Order.
5 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless
6 otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a
7 Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated
8 “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:
9 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well
10 as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary
11 to disclose the information for this Action;
12 (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the
13 Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action;
14 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom
15 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the
16 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A)2 before being shown or
17 given any CONFIDENTIAL Information or Items, and provided that if the Expert is
18 or was employed by the opposing Party or one of its competitors within the last two
19 years, the Receiving Party shall notify the Designating Party before disclosing any
20 CONFIDENTIAL Information or Items to that Expert, and shall give the Designating
21 Party an opportunity to move for a protective order within 14 days preventing or
22 limiting such disclosure;
23 (d) the court and its personnel;
24 (e) court reporters and videographers, and their respective staff;
25 (f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional
26
2 Copies of Exhibit A signed by the Receiving Party’s Experts shall be retained by
27
counsel of the Receiving Party and will be made available to the Designating Party
1 Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have
2 signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
3 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a
4 custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information;
5 (h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the
6 Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary, provided: (1) the deposing party
7 requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit 1 hereto; and (2) they will
8 not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the
9 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise
10 agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the Court. Pages of transcribed
11 deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may be
12 separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as
13 permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and
14 (i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel,
15 mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions;
16 (j) any court exercising appellate jurisdiction over this dispute, and its
17 personnel; and
18 (k) any other persons as the Parties may agree to in writing or as the Court
19 may, upon hearing, so direct.
20 7.3 Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items.
21 Except with the prior written consent of the other Party, or upon prior order of this
22 Court obtained after notice to opposing counsel, HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
23 Information or Items shall be treated in the same manner as CONFIDENTIAL
24 Information or Items pursuant to Paragraph 7.2 above, except that they shall not be
25 disclosed to individual parties or directors, officers, or employees of a Party other than
26 House Counsel of a Party, unless such individuals qualify to view such information
27 under Paragraph 7.2(c), above.
1 OTHER LITIGATION
2 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation
3 that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as
4 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:
5 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall
6 include a copy of the subpoena or court order;
7 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order
8 to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena
9 or order is subject to this Stipulated Protective Order. Such notification shall include
10 a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and
11 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued
12 by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
13 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with
14 the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action
15 as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by
16 the court from which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the
17 Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and
18 expense of seeking protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in
19 these provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party
20 in this Action to disobey a lawful directive from another court.
21 9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE
22 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION
23 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a
24 Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY
25 CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by Non-Parties in connection with
26 this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing
27 in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking
1 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to
2 produce a Non-Party’s confidential or highly confidential information in its
3 possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce
4 the Non-Party’s confidential or highly confidential information, then the Party shall:
5 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party
6 that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement
7 with a Non-Party;
8 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated
9 Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably
10 specific description of the information requested; and
11 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-
12 Party, if requested.
13 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within
14 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party
15 may produce the Non-Party’s confidential or highly confidential information
16 responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order,
17 the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession or control that
18 is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination
19 by the court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden
20 and expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.
21 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
22 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed
23 Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this
24 Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in
25 writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts
26 to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or
27 persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order,
1 Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
2 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE
3 PROTECTED MATERIAL
4 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain
5 inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection,
6 the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil
7 Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). If a Party moves the Court for an order compelling production
8 of the material, said motion shall not assert as a ground for entering such an order the
9 fact or circumstance of the production of the information. Further, pursuant to Federal
10 Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), the inadvertent disclosure of a communication or
11 information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection does
12 not constitute a waiver of the attorney-client privilege or work product protection in
13 this proceeding or any other state or federal proceeding. This provision is not intended
14 to modify whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that
15 provides for production without prior privilege review.
16 12. MISCELLANEOUS
17 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any
18 person to seek its modification by the Court in the future.
19 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this
20 Protective Order, no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to
21 disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this
22 Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any
23 ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order.
24 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any
25 Protected Material must comply with Local Civil Rule 79-5. Protected Material may
26 only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific
27 Protected Material at issue. If a Party’s request to file Protected Material under seal
1 record unless otherwise instructed by the court.
2 12.4 A Party or Non-Party may designate as CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY
3 CONFIDENTIAL documents or discovery materials produced by a Non-Party by
4 providing written notice to all Parties of the relevant document numbers or other
5 identification within thirty (30) days after receiving such documents or discovery
6 materials. Any Party or Non-Party may voluntarily disclose to others without
7 restriction any information designated by that Party or Non-Party as
8 CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL, although a document may lose its
9 confidential status if it is made public. If a Party or Non-Party produces materials
10 designated CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL in compliance with this
11 Order, that production shall be deemed to have been made consistent with any
12 confidentiality or privacy requirements mandated by local, state, or federal laws.
13 13. FINAL DISPOSITION
14 After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 60
15 days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return
16 all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in this
17 subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations,
18 summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected
19 Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving
20 Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same
21 person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies
22 (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or
23 destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies,
24 abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any
25 of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to
26 retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing
27 transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert
1 materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or
2 constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in
3 Section 4 (DURATION).
4 14. VIOLATION
5 Any violation of this Order may be punished by appropriate measures
6 including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary sanctions.
