12 MARVONTE WILSON, et al., Case No. 2:23-cv-00172-WBS-CSK
13 Plaintiffs, ORDER GRANTING MODIFIED
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
14 v.
(ECF No 108.)
15 TIMEC SERVICES COMPANY, INC. et
al.,
16
Defendants.
17
18 The Court has reviewed the parties’ stipulated protective order below (ECF No.
19 108), and finds it comports with the relevant authorities and the Court’s Local Rule. See
20 L.R. 141.1. The Court APPROVES the protective order, subject to the following
21 clarification. The Court’s Local Rules indicate that once an action is closed, it “will not
22 retain jurisdiction over enforcement of the terms of any protective order filed in that
23 action.” L.R. 141.1(f); see MD Helicopters, Inc. v. Aerometals, Inc., 2017 WL 495778
24 (E.D. Cal., Feb. 03, 2017) (noting that courts in the district generally do not retain
25 jurisdiction for disputes concerning protective orders after closure of the case). Thus, the
26 Court will not retain jurisdiction over this protective order once the case is closed.
27 Further, the protective order appears to contain references to local rules from
28 other districts. (See Pars. 1, 6.3, 12.3 (referencing Civil Local Rules 7 and 79-5, which
1 | do not exist in the Eastern District of California).) To the extent the parties’ protective
2 || order references local rules of other districts, the Court rejects these references and
3 || reminds the parties to refer to the local rules of the Eastern District of California.

3 1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
4 Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of
5 confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public
6 disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted.
7 Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter the following Stipulated
Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on
8
all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure
9
and use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment
10
under the applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section
11
12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential
12
information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 Local Rule 141 sets forth the procedures that must
13
be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court
14
to file material under seal.
15
2. DEFINITIONS
16
2.1 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the designation of
17 information or items under this Order.
18 2.2 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information (regardless of how it is
19 generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for protection under Federal Rule
20 of Civil Procedure 26(c).
21 2.3 Counsel (without qualifier): Outside Counsel of Record and House Counsel (as
22 well as their support staff).
23 2.4 Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates information or items that it
24 produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as “CONFIDENTIAL.”
2.5 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless of the
25
medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, among other things,
26
testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced or generated in disclosures or
27
responses to discovery in this matter.
28

2 the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as an expert witness or as a

6
entity not named as a Party to this action.
7

8
action but are retained to represent or advise a party to this action and have appeared in this action
9
on behalf of that party or are affiliated with a law firm which has appeared on behalf of that party.
10
2.10 Party: any party to this action, including all of its officers, directors, employees,
11

16 organizing, storing, or retrieving data in any form or medium) and their employees and
17 subcontractors.
18 2.13 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is designated as
19 “CONFIDENTIAL.”
20 2.14 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material from a
21 Producing Party.
22 3. SCOPE
The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only Protected Material
23
(as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted from Protected Material; (2)
24
all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony,
25
conversations, or presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material.
26
However, the protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order do not cover the following
27
information: (a) any information that is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to a
28
1 Receiving Party or becomes part of the public domain after its disclosure to a Receiving Party as
2 a result of publication not involving a violation of this Order, including becoming part of the
3 public record through trial or otherwise; and (b) any information known to the Receiving Party
4 prior to the disclosure or obtained by the Receiving Party after the disclosure from a source who
obtained the information lawfully and under no obligation of confidentiality to the Designating
5
Party. Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by a separate agreement or order.
6
4. DURATION
7
Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by
8
this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court
9
order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all
10
claims and defenses in this action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after
11
the completion and exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this action,
12
including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time pursuant to
13
applicable law.
14
5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
15 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each Party
16 or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take care
17 to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards.
18 The Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of material, documents,
19 items, or oral or written communications that qualify – so that other portions of the material,
20 documents, items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept
21 unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.
22 Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are
shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to
23
unnecessarily encumber or retard the case development process or to impose unnecessary
24
expenses and burdens on other parties) expose the Designating Party to sanctions.
25
If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it designated
26
for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must promptly notify all other
27
Parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.
28
1 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order
2 (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered,
3 Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so
4 designated before the material is disclosed or produced.
Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
5
(a) For information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, but
6
excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing
7
Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each page that contains protected material. If only a
8
portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also
9
must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the
10
margins).
11
A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for inspection
12
need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which
13
material it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all
14
of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the
15 inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party
16 must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order.
17 Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the
18 “CONFIDENTIAL” legend to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or
19 portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly
20 identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
21 (b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, that the Designating
22 Party identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding, all
protected testimony.
23
(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any other
24
tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the container
25
or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a
26
portion or portions of the information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the
27
extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).
28
1 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to
2 designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s
3 right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a
4 designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is
treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order.
5
6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
6
6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of
7
confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s confidentiality
8
designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic
9
burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right to
10
challenge a confidentiality designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the
11
original designation is disclosed.
12
6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution
13
process by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and describing the basis
14
for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written
15 notice must recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with this
16 specific paragraph of the Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in
17 good faith and must begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other
18 forms of communication are not sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service of notice. In
19 conferring, the Challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief that the confidentiality
20 designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party an opportunity to review the
21 designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if no change in designation is offered,
22 to explain the basis for the chosen designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next
stage of the challenge process only if it has engaged in this meet and confer process first or
23
establishes that the Designating Party is unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in
24
a timely manner.
25
6.3 Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court
26
intervention, the Designating Party shall file and serve a motion to retain confidentiality under
27
Civil Local Rule 7 Local Rule 251 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5 Local Rule
28
1 141, if applicable) within 21 days of the initial notice of challenge or within 14 days of the parties
2 agreeing that the meet and confer process will not resolve their dispute, whichever is earlier. Each
3 such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has
4 complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. Failure by
the Designating Party to make such a motion including the required declaration within 21 days (or
5
14 days, if applicable) shall automatically waive the confidentiality designation for each
6
challenged designation. In addition, the Challenging Party may file a motion challenging a
7
confidentiality designation at any time if there is good cause for doing so, including a challenge to
8
the designation of a deposition transcript or any portions thereof. Any motion brought pursuant to
9
this provision must be accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has
10
complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph.
11
The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating
12
Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose
13
unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to
14
sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived the confidentiality designation by failing to
15 file a motion to retain confidentiality as described above, all parties shall continue to afford the
16 material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s
17 designation until the court rules on the challenge.
18 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
19 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed or
20 produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this case only for prosecuting,
21 defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to
22 the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order. When the litigation has
been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL
23
DISPOSITION).
24
Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location and
25
in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under this Order.
26
7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered
27
by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any
28
1 information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:
2 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this action, as well as employees
3 of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information
4 for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that
is attached hereto as Exhibit A;
5
(b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the Receiving
6
Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the
7
“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
8
(c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is
9
reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and
10
Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
11
(d) the court and its personnel;
12
(e) court reporters and their staff, professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and
13
Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have
14
signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
15 (f) during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is reasonably
16 necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A),
17 unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed
18 deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material must be separately
19 bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this
20 Stipulated Protective Order.
21 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a custodian or
22 other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information.
8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER
23
LITIGATION
24
If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that compels
25
disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party
26
must:
27
(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include a
28
1 copy of the subpoena or court order;
2 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to issue in the
3 other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or order is subject to this
4 Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and
(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by the
5
Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
6
If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the
7
subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as
8
“CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the subpoena or order
9
issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party
10
shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court of its confidential material –
11
and nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving
12
Party in this action to disobey a lawful directive from another court.
13
9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN THIS
14
LITIGATION
15 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-Party in this
16 action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by Non-Parties in
17 connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order.
18 Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking
19 additional protections.
20 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce a Non-
21 Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement with
22 the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall:
(1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that some or
23
all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party;
24
(2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective Order
25
in this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of the
26
information requested; and
27
(3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party.
28
1 (c) If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court within 14
2 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may produce the
3 Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely
4 seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession
or control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a
5
determination by the court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the
6
burden and expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.
7
10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
8
If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected
9
Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated Protective
10
Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the
11
unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the
12
Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were
13
made of all the terms of this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the
14
“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
15 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED
16 MATERIAL
17 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain inadvertently
18 produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the obligations of the
19 Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This
20 provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery
21 order that provides for production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of
22 Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a
communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product
23
protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order
24
submitted to the court.
25
12. MISCELLANEOUS
26
12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person to
27
seek its modification by the court in the future.
28
1 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective
2 Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any
3 information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no
4 Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered
by this Protective Order.
5
12.3 Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the Designating Party
6
or a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in
7
the public record in this action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any
8
Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5 Local Rule 141. Protected Material
9
may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific
10
Protected Material at issue. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5 Local Rule 141, a sealing order will
11
issue only upon a request establishing that the Protected Material at issue is privileged,
12
protectable as a trade secret, or otherwise entitled to protection under the law. If a Receiving
13
Party's request to file Protected Material under seal pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5 Local Rule
14
141 is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in the public record
15 pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5 Local Rule 141 unless otherwise instructed by the court.
16 13. FINAL DISPOSITION
17 Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined in paragraph 4, each
18 Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such
19 material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts,
20 compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected
21 Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must
22 submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the
Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all
23
the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has
24
not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or
25
capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to
26
retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts,
27
legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work
28
1 product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials contain Protected
2 Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to
3 this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION).
