23 || 1. A.,PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

24 Plaintiffs assert claims for unlawful arrest and excessive force pursuant to 42

25 || USC Section 1983.

26 Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential,

27 || proprietary or private information for which special protection from public

28 || disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may

□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ WVULUTTICIN COU 2h Faye oul ty PAY IM □□

1 || be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to

2 || enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this

3 || Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to

4 || discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends

5 || only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment

6 || under the applicable legal principles.

7 B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT

8 This action is likely to involve Los Angeles Police Department reports,

9 || incuding the related Internal Affairs investigation (including the recorded

10 || statements obtained by LAPD during said investigation) and contact information

11 || for a third-party witness,for which special protection from public disclosure may be

12 || warranted and which may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure

13 || under state or federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common law.

14 || Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt resolution

15 || of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately protect

16 || information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the parties

17 || are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in preparation for and in

18 || the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of the litigation, and serve

19 || the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is justified in this matter.

20 || It is the intent of the parties that information will not be designated as confidential

21 || for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good faith belief

22 || that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and there is good

23 || cause why it should not be part of the public record of this case.

24 C. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PROCEDURE FOR FILING UNDER SEAL

25 The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this

26 || Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information

27 || under seal; Local Civil Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed

28

¢€.L0O-UV-VOUDO-WIVVF-O VUUUTTICIN FMOCU LAV FAYe VU VI AY FP TM

1 |) and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court

2 || to file material under seal.

3 There is a strong presumption that the public has a right of access to judicial

4 || proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non-dispositive motions,

5 || good cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See Kamakana v. City and

6 || County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th Cir. 2006), Phillips v. Gen. Motors

7 || Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar-Welbon v. Sony Electrics,

8 || Inc., 187 F.R.D. 576, 577 (E.D. Wis. 1999) (even stipulated protective orders

9 || require good cause showing), and a specific showing of good cause or compelling

10 || reasons with proper evidentiary support and legal justification, must be made with

11 || respect to Protected Material that a party seeks to file under seal. The parties’ mere

12 || designation of Disclosure or Discovery Material as CONFIDENTIAL does not—

13 || without the submission of competent evidence by declaration, establishing that the

14 |] material sought to be filed under seal qualifies as confidential, privileged, or

15 || otherwise protectable—constitute good cause.

16 Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion or trial, then

17 || compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must be shown, and the

18 || relief sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the specific interest to be protected.

19 || See Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Ass’n, 605 F.3d 665, 677-79 (9th Cir. 2010). For

20 || each item or type of information, document, or thing sought to be filed or introduced

21 || under seal in connection with a dispositive motion or trial, the party seeking

22 || protection must articulate compelling reasons, supported by specific facts and legal

23 || justification, for the requested sealing order. Again, competent evidence supporting

24 || the application to file documents under seal must be provided by declaration.

25 Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable in

26 || its entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential portions can be redacted.

27 || If documents can be redacted, then a redacted version for public viewing, omitting

28 || only the confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable portions of the document,

¢.LOTUVVOUUUTININN oa OM AA PAYS TY AN OP AY IM □□

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.

22 || compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or

23 || presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material.

24 Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the

25 || trial judge. This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial.

26 || 4. DURATION

27 Once a case proceeds to trial, information that was designated as

28 || CONFIDENTIAL or maintained pursuant to this protective order used or introduced

Uads€ i. □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ WVOCUTMCHE OU-L FHeU LiiViile Faye OVI LO Faye Il □□□□□

1 || as an exhibit at trial becomes public and will be presumptively available to all

2 || members of the public, including the press, unless compelling reasons supported by

3 || specific factual findings to proceed otherwise are made to the trial judge in advance

4 || of the trial. See Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1180-81 (distinguishing “good cause”

5 || showing for sealing documents produced in discovery from “compelling reasons”

6 || standard when merits-related documents are part of court record). Accordingly, the

7 || terms of this protective order do not extend beyond the commencement of the trial.

8 || 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

9 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

10 || Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under

11 || this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that

12 || qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for

13 || protection only those parts of material, documents, items or oral or written

14 || communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, items

15 || or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably

16 |} within the ambit of this Order.

17 Mass, indiscriminate or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations

18 || that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper

19 || purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose

20 || unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating

21 || Party to sanctions.

22 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it

23 || designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must

24 || promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.

25 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in

26 || this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise

27 || stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection

28 || under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or

□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ WOUCUTMCH OUelL PReU Taye’ Faye Il □□□

1 || produced.

2 Designation in conformity with this Order requires:

3 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic

4 || documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial

5 || proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend

6 || “CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that

7 || contains protected material. If only a portion of the material on a page qualifies for

8 || protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s)

9 || (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).

10 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection

11 || need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated

12 || which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and

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

14 || deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the

15 || documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which

16 || documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then,

17 || before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the

18 || “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a

19 || portion of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also

20 || must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings

21 || in the margins).

22 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identifies

23 || the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the

24 |) deposition all protected testimony.

25 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and

26 || for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on

27 || the exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the

28 || legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information

Uaoe □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ VOCUTTCHE OU-L THOU LLIVLiLS Tayo ovrlo Faye IY □□□□□

1 || warrants protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the

2 || protected portion(s).

3 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent

4 || failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive

5 || the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material.

6 || Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable

7 || efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this

8 || Order.

9 || 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

10 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a

11 || designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s

12 || Scheduling Order.

13 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute

14 || resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq.

15 6.3. The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on

16 || the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper

17 || purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other

18 || parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating

19 || Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall

20 || continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is

21 || entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the

22 || 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

28 || conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a

□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ VUCUTHEM OUNL Flea ddivlilg Faye J UltO Pays Il □□□□

1 || Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL

2 || DISPOSITION).

3 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a

4 |! location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons

5 || authorized under this Order.

6 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless

7 || otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a

8 || Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated

9 || “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

10 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as

11 |} well as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably

12 || necessary to disclose the information for this Action;

13 (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of

14 || the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action;

15 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom

16 || disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the

17 || “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

18 (d) the court and its personnel;

19 (e) court reporters and their staff;

20 (f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional

21 || Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have

22 || signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

23 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a

24 || custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information;

25 (h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the

26 || Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing party

27 || requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit 1 hereto; and (2) they will

28 || not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the

Vase lo-CV-UOUDO-WIVVF-E VOCUTHEM FeO LULL Pdaye iv Faye Il rove

1 || “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise

2 || agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed

3 || deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may

4 || be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except

5 || as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and

6 (i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel,

7 || mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions.

8 || 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED

9 IN OTHER LITIGATION

10 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation

11 || that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as

12 || “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:

13 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification

14 || shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order;

15 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order

16 || to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the

17 || subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include

18 || acopy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and

19 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be

20 |} pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

21 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with

22 || the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this

23 || action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the

24 || subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s

25 || permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking

26 || protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions

27 || should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action

28 || to disobey a lawful directive from another court.

2 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION

3 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a

4 || Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information

5 || produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the

6 || remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be

7 || construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.

8 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to

9 || produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is

10 || subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s

11 || confidential information, then the Party shall:

12 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party

13 || that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality

14 || agreement with a Non-Party;

15 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated

16 || Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably

17 || specific description of the information requested; and

18 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the

19 || Non-Party, if requested.

20 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within

21 || 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party

22 || may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery

23 || request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall

24 || not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the

25 || confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court.

26 || Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and

27 || expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.

1 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed

2 || Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this

3 || Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in

4 || writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts

5 || to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or

6 || persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order,

7 || and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and

8 || Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

9 || 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

10 PROTECTED MATERIAL

11 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain

12 || inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection,

13 || the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil

14 || Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever

15 || procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production

16 || without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and

17 || (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a

18 || communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work

19 || product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated

20 || protective order submitted to the court.

21 || 12. MISCELLANEOUS

22 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any

23 || person to seek its modification by the Court in the future.

24 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this

25 || Protective Order, no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to

26 || disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this

27 || Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any

28 || ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order.

2 || Protected Material must comply with Local Civil Rule 79-5. Protected Material

3 || may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the

4 || specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party’s request to file Protected Material

5 || under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information

6 || in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court.

7 || 13. FINAL DISPOSITION

8 After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 60

9 || days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return

10 || all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in

11 || this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations,

12 || summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected

13 || Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving

14 || Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same

15 || person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies

16 || (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or

17 || destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies,

18 || abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any

19 || of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to

20 || retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing

21 || transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert

22 || reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such

23 || materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or

24 || constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in

25 || Section 4 (DURATION).

26 || 14. VIOLATION

27 || Any violation of this Order may be punished by appropriate measures including,

28 || without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary sanctions.
