v. ORDER

212 PRODUCTIONS, LLC, DISCOVERY MATTER
26
Defendant. Jury Trial Demanded
27 Filed Date: 08/12/2020
28
1 Plaintiff, American Federation of Musicians of the United States and Canada
2 (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant, 212 Productions, LLC (“Defendant”), by and through
3 their counsel of record, submit the following proposed Joint Stipulated Protective
4 Order:
5
6 1. A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
7 Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential,
8 proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public
9 disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may
10 be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to
11 enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this
12 Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to
13 discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends
14 only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment
15 under the applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth
16 in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them
17 to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the
18 procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a
19 party seeks permission from the court to file material under seal.
20 B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT
21 This action is likely to involve trade secrets, individual employment and
22 income information of musicians and employees represented by AFM, proprietary
23 information of 212 Productions, LLC, and its vendors and business partners,
24 private financial information of persons not represented by AFM and other
25 valuable industry commercial, financial, and/or proprietary information for which
26 special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than
27 prosecution and/or defense of this action is warranted. Such individual,
28 confidential and/or proprietary materials and information consist of at least:
1 i) Information reflecting the wages, benefits, and residuals paid or owed
2 to musicians represented by AFM. The parties recognize and agree that the
3 wage and income information at issue in this Action has been collectively as
4 opposed to privately bargained, that it is directly relevant to AFM’s claims and
5 essential to the fair resolution of this Action.
6 The parties further recognize and agree that the right of employees to engage
7 in concerted activities and collective bargaining with respect to wages, benefits,
8 and other terms and conditions of employment is a fundamental right guaranteed
9 by the National Labor Relations Act, and that for this right to be a meaningful one
10 employees must have the right to discuss wages, benefits, and other terms and
11 conditions of employment. The parties further recognize and agree that this
12 information is not Confidential 212 Productions, LLC Information (as defined
13 below). AFM asserts that musicians represented by AFM have, prior to the
14 commencement of this Action, discussed and disclosed this information
15 specifically as it relates to the subject matter of this Action among themselves,
16 with AFM, and with their family members or other members of the public. AFM,
17 as bargaining agent for musician employees of 212 Productions, LLC, contends
18 that it is entitled to this information for collective bargaining purposes pursuant to
19 the National Labor Relations Act. 212 Productions, LLC, produced a substantial
20 quantity of this information prior to the commencement of this Action for purposes
21 of collective bargaining.
22 The parties agree that a “confidential” designation under this Order made by
23 any Party or Non-Party of information or materials reflecting the wages, benefits
24 and residuals paid or owed to musicians represented by AFM, or any of the other
25 terms and conditions of employment collectively bargained by AFM, shall not
26 operate or be given effect in any way that would prohibit employees from
27 discussing wages and benefits; prohibit employees from disclosing their
28 paychecks; prohibit employees from giving interviews or making public statements
1 about the activities or policies of 212 Productions, LLC; prohibit employees from
2 disclosing any other term or condition of employment subject to collective
3 bargaining; in any other like or related manner interfere with, restrain, or coerce
4 employees in the exercise of the rights guaranteed by the National Labor Relations
5 Act; or interfere with the administration of AFM as the recognized representative
6 agent of musicians for purposes of collective bargaining.
7 Information produced in this Action reflecting the wages, benefits, and
8 residuals paid or owed to musicians represented by AFM will not be designated by
9 any Party or Non-Party as "confidential” without a good faith belief that such
10 information has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner prior to its
11 production in this Action.
12 ii) Confidential 212 Productions, LLC, Information. Such confidential
13 and proprietary materials and information consist of, among other things,
14 confidential business or financial information (including intellectual property
15 owned by or licensed to 212 Productions LLC or any related entity) regarding the
16 development, production, scoring and distribution of television programs and
17 motion pictures, information regarding confidential business practices, or other
18 confidential research, development, or commercial information, the confidential
19 and proprietary terms of Defendant’s contractual relationships with its vendors and
20 national and international program distributors, the disclosure of which would
21 materially impair the Defendant’s ability to compete for services and negotiate
22 future agreements with vendors and distributors, and information otherwise
23 generally unavailable to the public, or which may be privileged or otherwise
24 protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case decisions,
25 or common law.
26 Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt
27 resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately
28 protect information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the
1 parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in preparation for
2 and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of the litigation, and
3 serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is justified in this
4 matter. It is the intent of the parties that information will not be designated as
5 confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good
6 faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and
7 there is good cause why it should not be part of the public record of this case.

1 extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or
2 compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or
3 presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material.
4 Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the
5 trial judge. This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial.
6 4. DURATION
7 i) Once this case proceeds to trial, all of the information reflecting the
8 wages, benefits, and residuals paid or owed to musicians represented by AFM that
9 was designated as confidential or maintained pursuant to this protective order
10 becomes public and will be presumptively available to all members of the public,
11 including the press, unless compelling reasons supported by specific factual
12 findings to proceed otherwise are made to the trial judge in advance of the trial.
13 See Kamakana v. City and County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1180-81 (9th Cir.
14 2006) (distinguishing “good cause” showing for sealing documents produced in
15 discovery from “compelling reasons” standard when merits-related documents are
16 part of court record).
17 ii) With respect to Confidential 212 Productions, LLC, information, even
18 after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by
19 this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in
20 writing or a court order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be deemed to be
21 the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in this Action, with or without
22 prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion and exhaustion of all
23 appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this Action, including the time
24 limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time pursuant to
25 applicable law.
26 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
27 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.
28 Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under
1 this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that
2 qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for
3 protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written
4 communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents,
5 items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept
6 unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.
7 Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations
8 that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper
9 purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to
10 impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the
11 Designating Party to sanctions.
12 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it
13 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must
14 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.
15 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in
16 this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise
17 stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection
18 under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or
19 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
25 contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page
26 qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the
27 protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
28
1 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection
2 need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated
3 which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and
4 before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be
5 deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the
6 documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine
7 which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order.
8 Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix
9 the “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If
10 only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the
11 Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making
12 appropriate markings in the margins).
13 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identify the
14 Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the deposition
15 all protected testimony.
16 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for
17 any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the
18 exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the legend
19 “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information warrants
20 protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the
21 protected portion(s).
22 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent
23 failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive
24 the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such
25 material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make
26 reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the
27 provisions of this Order.
28 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
1 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a
2 designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s
3 Scheduling Order.
4 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute
5 resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq.
6 6.3 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on
7 the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper
8 purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other
9 parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating
10 Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall
11 continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is
12 entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the
13 challenge.
14 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
15 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is
16 disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this
17 Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such
18 Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under
19 the conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a
20 Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL
21 DISPOSITION).
22 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a
23 location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons
24 authorized under this Order.
25 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless
26 otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a
27 Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated
28 “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:
1 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well
2 as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably
3 necessary to disclose the information for this Action;
4 (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the
5 Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action;
6 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom
7 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the
8 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
9 (d) the court and its personnel;
10 (e) court reporters and their staff;
11 (f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional
12 Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have
13 signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
14 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a
15 custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information;
16 (h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the
17 Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing
18 party requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit 1 hereto; and (2)
19 they will not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the
20 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise
21 agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed
22 deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may
23 be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone
24 except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and
25 (i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel,
26 mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions.
27
28
1 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED
2 IN OTHER LITIGATION
3 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation
4 that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as
5 “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:
6 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall
7 include a copy of the subpoena or court order;
8 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to
9 issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena
10 or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy
11 of this Stipulated Protective Order; and
12 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued
13 by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
14 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served
15 with the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in
16 this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which
17 the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s
18 permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking
19 protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions
20 should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action
21 to disobey a lawful directive from another court.
22 9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE
23 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION
24 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-
25 Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information
26 produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the
27 remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be
28 construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.
1 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to
2 produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is
3 subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s
4 confidential information, then the Party shall:
5 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that
6 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 Protective
9 Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific
10 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 information responsive to the discovery
16 request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall
17 not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the
18 confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court.
19 Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and
20 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
23 disclosed Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized
24 under this Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a)
25 notify in writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its
26 best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform
27 the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms
28 of this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the
1 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit
2 A.
3 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE
4 PROTECTED MATERIAL
5 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain
6 inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other
7 protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal
8 Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify
9 whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for
10 production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence
11 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure
12 of a communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or
13 work product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the
14 stipulated protective order submitted to the court.
15 12. MISCELLANEOUS
16 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any
17 person to seek its modification by the Court in the future.
18 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this
19 Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to
20 disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in
21 this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on
22 any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective
23 Order.
24 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any
25 Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material
26 may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the
27 specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected Material
28
1 under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information
2 in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court.
3 13. FINAL DISPOSITION
4 After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within
5 60 days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must
6 return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As
7 used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts,
8 compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the
9 Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the
10 Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if
11 not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that
12 (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was
13 returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any
14 copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or
15 capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel
16 are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial,
17 deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition
18 and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert
19 work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival
20 copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this
21 Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION).
22 14. Any violation of this Order may be punished by any and all appropriate
23 measures including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary
24 sanctions.

5 that I have read in its entirety and understand the Stipulated Protective Order that
