and DOES 1-10, inclusive,

Defendants.

1. A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
21
Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential,
22
proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public
23
disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may
24
be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to
25
enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this
26
Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to
27
discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends
28
1 only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment
2 under the applicable legal principles.
3
4 B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT
5 Defendant County of Tulare, acting by and through the Tulare County
6 Sheriff’s Office (TCSO), may be producing documents that contain information
7 that is unavailable to the public and/or privileged or otherwise protected from
8 disclosure under state or federal statues, court rules, case decisions, or common
9 law. Defendants may also be producing documents that contain personal and
10 confidential information regarding individuals which information is unavailable to
11 the public, including peace officer personnel records and records related to third
12 parties.
13 Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt
14 resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately
15 protect information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the
16 parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in preparation for
17 and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of the litigation, and
18 serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is justified in this
19 matter. It is the intent of the parties that information will not be designated as
20 confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good
21 faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and
22 there is good cause why it should not be part of the public record of this case.
23 C. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PROCEDURE FOR FILING UNDER SEAL
24 The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this
25 Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information
26 under seal; Civil Local Rules 141, 141.1(e) set forth the procedures that must be
27 followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from
28 the court to file material under seal.
1 There is a strong presumption that the public has a right of access to
2 judicial proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non-dispositive
3 motions, good cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See Kamakana
4 v. City and Cnty. of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th Cir. 2006), Phillips ex rel.
5 Ests. of Byrd v. Gen. Motors Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210–11 (9th Cir. 2002),
6 Makar-Welbon v. Sony Elecs., Inc., 187 F.R.D. 576, 577 (E.D. Wis. 1999) (even
7 stipulated protective orders require good cause showing), and a specific showing
8 of good cause or compelling reasons with proper evidentiary support and legal
9 justification, must be made with respect to Protected Material that a party seeks to
10 file under seal. The parties’ mere designation of Disclosure or Discovery Material
11 as CONFIDENTIAL does not—without the submission of competent evidence by
12 declaration, establishing that the material sought to be filed under seal qualifies as
13 confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable—constitute good cause.
14 Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion or trial,
15 then compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must be shown, and
16 the relief sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the specific interest to be
17 protected. See Pintos v. Pac. Creditors Ass’n, 605 F.3d 665, 677–79 (9th Cir.
18 2010). For each item or type of information, document, or thing sought to be filed
19 or introduced under seal in connection with a dispositive motion or trial, the party
20 seeking protection must articulate compelling reasons, supported by specific facts
21 and legal justification, for the requested sealing order. Again, competent evidence
22 supporting the application to file documents under seal must be provided by
23 declaration.
24
Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable in
25
its entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential portions can be redacted.
26
If documents can be redacted, then a redacted version for public viewing, omitting
27
only the confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable portions of the document,
28
1 shall be filed. Any application that seeks to file documents under seal in their
2 entirety should include an explanation of why redaction is not feasible.

10 domain at the time of disclosure to a Receiving Party or becomes part of the public
11 domain after its disclosure to a Receiving Party as a result of publication not

1
2 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
3 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.
4 Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection
5 under this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material
6 that qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must
7 designate for protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or
8 written communications that qualify so that other portions of the material,
9 documents items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not
10 swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.
11 Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations
12 that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper
13 purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to
14 impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the
15 Designating Party to sanctions.
16 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it
17 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must
18 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.
19 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this
20 Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise
21 stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection
22 under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or
23 produced.
24 Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
25 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents,
26 but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that
27 the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend “CONFIDENTIAL”
28 (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that contains protected
1 material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for
2 protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s)
3 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.” After the inspecting Party has identified the
9 documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine
10 which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then,
11 before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the
12 “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a
13 portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing
14 Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making
15 appropriate markings in the margins).
16 (b) for testimony given in depositions, that the Designating Party identify the
17 Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the deposition
18 all protected testimony.
19 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for
20 any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the
21 exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the legend
22 “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information warrants
23 protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the
24 protected portion(s).
25 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent
26 failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive
27 the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such
28 material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make
1 reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the
2 provisions of this Order.
3
4 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
5 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a
6 designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s
7 Scheduling Order.
8 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute
9 resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq.
10 6.3 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on
11 the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper
12 purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other
13 parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating
14 Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall
15 continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is
16 entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the
17 challenge.
18
19 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
20 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is
21 disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this
22 Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such
23 Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the
24 conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a
25 Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL
26 DISPOSITION).
27 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a
28 location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons
1 authorized under this Order.
2 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless
3 otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a
4 Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated
5 “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:
6 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well
7 as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary
8 to disclose the information for this Action;
9 (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including In-House Counsel) of
10 the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action;
11 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom
12 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the
13 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
14 (d) the court and its personnel;
15 (e) court reporters and their staff;
16 (f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional
17 Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have
18 signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
19 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a
20 custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information;
21 (h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the
22 Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing party
23 requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit A hereto; and (2) they
24 will not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the
25 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise
26 agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed
27 deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may
28 be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone
1 except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and
2 (i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel,
3 mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions.
4
5 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN
6 OTHER LITIGATION
7 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation
8 that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as
9 “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:
10 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification
11 shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order;
12 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order
13 to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the
14 subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include
15 a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and
16 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be
17 pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
18 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with
19 the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this
20 action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the
21 subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s
22 permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking
23 protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions
24 should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action
25 to disobey a lawful directive from another court.
26 ///
27
28
1 9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED
2 IN THIS LITIGATION
3 (a) Application. The terms of this Order are applicable to information
4 produced by a Non- Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.”
5 Such information produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is
6 protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these
7 provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional
8 protections.
9 (b) Notification. In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery
10 request, to produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the
11 Party is subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s
12 confidential information, then the Party shall:
13 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party
14 that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality
15 agreement with a Non-Party;
16 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated
17 Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably
18 specific description of the information requested; and
19 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the
20 Non-Party, if requested.
21 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within 14
22 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party
23 may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery
24 request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall
25 not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the
26 confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court.
27 Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and
28 expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.
1
2 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
3 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed
4 Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this
5 Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in
6 writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best
7 efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the
8 person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of
9 this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment
10 and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
11
12 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE
13 PROTECTED MATERIAL
14 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain
15 inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other
16 protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal
17 Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify
18 whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for
19 production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence
20 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure
21 of a communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work
22 product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated
23 protective order submitted to the court.
24
25 12. MISCELLANEOUS
26 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any
27 person to seek its modification by the Court in the future.
28 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this
1 Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to
2 disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in
3 this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on
4 any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective
5 Order.
6 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any
7 Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rules 141, 141.1(e). Protected
8 Material may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the
9 sealing of the specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party’s request to file
10 Protected Material under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may
11 file the information in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court.
12 13. FINAL DISPOSITION
13 After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 60
14 days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must
15 return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As
16 used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts,
17 compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the
18 Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the
19 Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if
20 not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that
21 (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was
22 returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any
23 copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or
24 capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel
25 are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial,
26 deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition
27 and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert
28 work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival
1 | copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective
2 | Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION).
3 | 14. VIOLATION OF ORDER
4 Any violation of this Order may be punished by any and all appropriate
5 | measures including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary
6 | sanctions.
