Police Department, John Doe, Supervisor, ORDER; ORDER

1. A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
27
Discovery in this action is likely to involve the production of confidential,
28
1 and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted.
2 Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the following
3 Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer
4 blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it
5 affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or items
6 that are entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles.
7 B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT
8 This action is likely to involve Los Angeles Police Department reports and body
9 camera videos for which special protection from public disclosure may be warranted and
10 which may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal
11 statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow
12 of information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of
13 discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties are entitled to keep
14 confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such
15 material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end
16 of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is
17 justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that information will not be
18 designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without
19 a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and
20 there is good cause why it should not be part of the public record of this case.
21 C. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PROCEDURE FOR FILING UNDER SEAL
22 The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this
23 Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information under
24 seal; Local Civil Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and the
25 standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file
26 material under seal.
27 There is a strong presumption that the public has a right of access to judicial
28 proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non-dispositive motions, good
1 cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See Kamakana v. City and County of
2 Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th Cir. 2006), Phillips v. Gen. Motors Corp., 307 F.3d
3 1206, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar-Welbon v. Sony Electrics, Inc., 187 F.R.D. 576,
4 577 (E.D. Wis. 1999) (even stipulated protective orders require good cause showing),
5 and a specific showing of good cause or compelling reasons with proper evidentiary
6 support and legal justification, must be made with respect to Protected Material that a
7 party seeks to file under seal. The parties’ mere designation of Disclosure or Discovery
8 Material as CONFIDENTIAL does not— without the submission of competent evidence
9 by declaration, establishing that the material sought to be filed under seal qualifies as
10 confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable—constitute good cause.
11 Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion or trial, then
12 compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must be shown, and the relief
13 sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the specific interest to be protected. See Pintos
14 v. Pacific Creditors Ass’n, 605 F.3d 665, 677-79 (9th Cir. 2010). For each item or type
15 of information, document, or thing sought to be filed or introduced under seal in
16 connection with a dispositive motion or trial, the party seeking protection must articulate
17 compelling reasons, supported by specific facts and legal justification, for the requested
18 sealing order. Again, competent evidence supporting the application to file documents
19 under seal must be provided by declaration.
20 Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable in
21 its entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential portions can be redacted.
22 If documents can be redacted, then a redacted version for public viewing, omitting
23 only the confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable portions of the document,
24 shall be filed. Any application that seeks to file documents under seal in their
25 entirety should include an explanation of why redaction is not feasible.
26 2. DEFINITIONS
27 2.1 Action: Evelyn Jimenez, v. City of Los Angeles et al., Case No. 2:19-CV-
28 05329ODW-AGRx
1 2.2 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the designation of
2 information or items under this Order.
3 2.3 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information (regardless of how it is

5 Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), and as specified above in the Good Cause
6 Statement.
7 2.4 Counsel: Outside Counsel of Record and House Counsel (as well as their
8 support staff).
9 2.5 Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates information or items
10 that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as “CONFIDENTIAL.”
11 2.6 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless of the
12 medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, among
13 other things, testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced or generated
14 in disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter.
15 2.7 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter
16 pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as an
17 expert witness or as a consultant in this Action.

26 2.11 Party: any party to this Action, including all of its officers, directors,
27 employees, consultants, retained experts, and Outside Counsel of Record (and their
28 support staffs).
1 2.12 Producing Party: a Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or Discovery
2 Material in this Action.
3 2.13 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation support

7 2.14 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is designated
8 as “CONFIDENTIAL.”
9 2.15 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material from
10 a Producing Party.
11 3. SCOPE
12 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only Protected
13 Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted from
14 Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected
15 Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or presentations by Parties or their
16 Counsel that might reveal Protected Material.
17 Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the trial
18 judge. This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial.
19 4. DURATION
20 Once a case proceeds to trial, information that was designated as
21 CONFIDENTIAL or maintained pursuant to this protective order used or introduced as
22 an exhibit at trial becomes public and will be presumptively available to all members of
23 the public, including the press, unless compelling reasons supported by specific factual
24 findings to proceed otherwise are made to the trial judge in advance of the trial. See
25 Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1180-81 (distinguishing “good cause” showing for sealing
26 documents produced in discovery from “compelling reasons” standard when merits-
27 related documents are part of court record). Accordingly, the terms of this protective
28 order do not extend beyond the commencement of the trial.
1 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
2 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each
3 Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order
4 must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the
5 appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for protection only those
6 parts of material, documents, items or oral or written communications that qualify so that
7 other portions of the material, documents, items or communications for which protection
8 is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.
9 Mass, indiscriminate or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that
10 are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g.,
11 to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose unnecessary
12 expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating Party to sanctions.
13 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it
14 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must
15 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.
16 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this
17 Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or
18 ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order
19 must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or produced.
20 Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
21 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic
22 documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial
23 proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend
24 “CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that contains
25 protected material. If only a portion of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the
26 Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making
27 appropriate markings in the margins).
28 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection need
1 not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which
2 documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the
3 designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed
4 “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants
5 copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions
6 thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the specified
7 documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page
8 that contains Protected Material. If only a portion of the material on a page qualifies for
9 protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g.,
10 by making appropriate markings in the margins).
11 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identifies
12 the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the deposition all
13 protected testimony.
14 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for
15 any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the
16 exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the legend
17 “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information warrants protection,
18 the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).
19 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure
20 to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the
21 Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon
22 timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to
23 assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order.
24 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
25 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of
26 confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s Scheduling Order.
27 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution
28 process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq.
1 6.3 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the
2 Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose (e.g.,
3 to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the
4 Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived or withdrawn
5 the confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to afford the material in
6 question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s
7 designation until the Court rules on the challenge.
8 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
9 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is
10 disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this Action
11 only for prosecuting, defending or attempting to settle this Action. Such Protected
12 Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the conditions
13 described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a Receiving Party must
14 comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION).
15 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a
16 location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons
17 authorized under this Order.
18 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise
19 ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party
20 may disclose any information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:
21 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well
22 as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to
23 disclose the information for this Action;
24 (b) the Receiving party, including its officers, directors, and employees
25 (including House Counsel) to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action;
26 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom
27 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the
28 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
1 (d) the court and its personnel;
2 (e) court reporters and their staff;
3 (f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional
4 Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have
5 signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
6 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a
7 custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information;
8 (h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the
9 Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing party
10 requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit 1 hereto; and (2) they will not
11 be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the
12 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed
13 by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed deposition
14 testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may be separately
15 bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted
16 under this Stipulated Protective Order; and
17 (i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel,
18 mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions.
19 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED
20 IN OTHER LITIGATION
21 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that
22 compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as
23 “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:
24 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall
25 include a copy of the subpoena or court order;
26 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order
27 to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the
28 subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include
1 a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and
2 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued
3 by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. If the Designating
4 Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the subpoena or court order
5 shall not produce any information designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL”
6 before a determination by the court from which the subpoena or order issued, unless the
7 Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party shall bear
8 the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court of its confidential material
9 and nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a
10 Receiving Party in this Action to disobey a lawful directive from another court.
11 9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED
12 IN THIS LITIGATION
13 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a
14 Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information
15 produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies
16 and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be construed as
17 prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.
18 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to
19 produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject
20 to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential
21 information, then the Party shall:
22 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-
23 Party that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality
24 agreement with a Non-Party;
25 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated
26 Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably
27 specific description of the information requested; and
28 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the
1 Non-Party, if requested.
2 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within 14
3 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may
4 produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If
5 the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any
6 information in its possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement
7 with the Non-Party before a determination by the court. Absent a court order to the
8 contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in this
9 court of its Protected Material.
10 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
11 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed
12 Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this
13 Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing
14 the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve
15 all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons to
16 whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, and (d) request
17 such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound”
18 that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
19 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE
20 PROTECTED MATERIAL
21 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain
22 inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the
23 obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil
24 Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure
25 may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior
26 privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the
27 parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or information
28 covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the parties may
1 incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted to the court.
2 12. MISCELLANEOUS
3 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any
4 person to seek its modification by the Court in the future.
5 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this
6 Protective Order, no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to
7 disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this
8 Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any ground
9 to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order.
10 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected
11 Material must comply with Local Civil Rule 79-5. Protected Material may only be filed
12 under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected
13 Material at issue. If a Party’s request to file Protected Material under seal is denied by
14 the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in the public record unless
15 otherwise instructed by the court.
16 13. FINAL DISPOSITION
17 After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 60 days
18 of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return all
19 Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in this
20 subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations,
21 summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material.
22 Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must
23 submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or
24 entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by category,
25 where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and (2)
26 affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations,
27 summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material.
28 Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all
1 | pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda,
2 | correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and
3 | consultant and expert work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material.
4 | Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to
5 | this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION).
6] 14. VIOLATION
7 Any violation of this Order may be punished by appropriate measures including,
8 | without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary sanctions.
