19 1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
20 Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential,
21 | proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public
22 | disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be
23 || warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter
94 | the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this
25 || Stipulated Protective Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or
26 || responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and
27 || use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential
28
-1-
ES MAYER meee eee oes

1 | treatment under the applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as
2 | set forth in Section 13.3 below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle
3 | them to file confidential information under seal; Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the
4 | procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party
5 || seeks permission from the Court to file material under seal.
6 2. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT
7 This action 1s likely to involve discovery that is confidential and privileged
8 || for which special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose
9 | other than prosecution of this action may be warranted. Such confidential and
10 | proprietary materials and information consist of, among other things, information
11 | pertaining to the investigation from Redlands Police Department (RPD) of the
12 | underlying activities, as well as peace officer personnel file information and/or
13 | documents which the parties agree include (1) Personal data, including marital
14 | status, family members, educational and employment history, home addresses, or
15 | similar information; (2) Medical history; (3) Election of employee benefits; (4)
16 | Employee advancement, appraisal or discipline; and (5) Complaints, or
17 | investigations of complaints, if any, concerning an event or transaction in which a
18 | peace officer participated, or which a peace officer perceived, and pertaining to the
19 | manner in which the peace officer performed his or her duties.
20 Such confidential materials and information consist of, among other things,
21 | materials which may be entitled to privileges and/or protections under the
22 | following: United States Constitution, First Amendment; the California
23 | Constitution, Article I, Section 1; California Penal Code §§ 832.5, 832.7 and 832.8;
24 | California Evidence Code §§ 1040 and 1043 et. seq; the Privacy Act of 1974, 5
25 | U.S.C. § 552; Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996
26 | (HIPPA); the right to privacy; decisional law relating to such provisions; and
27 | information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or which may be
28 || privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes,
-2-
_____

1 | court rules, case decisions, or common law.
2 Defendants also contend that such confidential materials and information are
3 | entitled to the Official Information Privilege. Sanchez v. City of Santa Ana, 936
4 | F.2d 1027, 1033 (9th Cir. Cal.1990); see also Kerr v. United States Dist. Ct. for
5 | N.D. Cal., 511 F.2d 192, 198 (9th Cir. Cal. 1975). Aff'd, 426 U.S. 394, 96 S. Ct.
6 || 3229, 48 L.Ed.2d 725 (1976). The information otherwise may be generally
7 | unavailable to the public, or may be privileged or otherwise protected from
8 | disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common
9 | law.
10 Further, discovery may require depositions, written discovery and/or the
11 | production of certain information the public disclosure of which could comprise
12 | officer safety, and/or raise security issues. Additionally, public disclosure of such
13 | information poses a substantial risk of embarrassment, oppression, and/or physical
14 | harm to peace officers whose confidential information is disclosed. The risk of
15 | harm to peace officers is greater than with other government employees due to the
16 | nature of their profession. The benefit of public disclosure of confidential
17 | information is minimal while the potential disadvantages are great.
18 Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt
19 | resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately
20 | protect information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the
21 | parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in preparation for
22 | and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of the litigation, and
23 || serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is justified in this
24 | matter. It is the intent of the parties that information will not be designated as
25 | confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good
26 | faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and
27 | there is good cause why it should not be part of the public record of this case.

17 | Protected Material, but also (1) any information copied or extracted from Protected
18 | Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected Material;
19 | and (3) any testimony, conversations, or presentations by Parties or their Counsel
20 | that might reveal Protected Material.
21 Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the
22 | trial judge. This Stipulated Protective Order does not govern the use of Protected
23 | Material at trial.
24 5. DURATION
25 Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations
26 || imposed by this Stipulated Protective Order shall remain in effect until a
27 || Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court order otherwise directs.
28 || Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and
-5-

1 || defenses in this Action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein
2 | after the completion and exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or
3 || reviews of this Action, including the time limits for filing any motions or
4 | applications for extension of time pursuant to applicable law.
5 6. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
6 6.1. Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.
7 | Each Party or Nonparty that designates information or items for protection under
8 || this Stipulated Protective Order must take care to limit any such designation to
9 | specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating
10 | Party must designate for protection only those parts of material, documents, items,
11 | or oral or written communications that qualify so that other portions of the material,
12 | documents, items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not
13 | swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Stipulated Protective Order. Mass,
14 | indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are
15 | shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose
16 | (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose
17 || unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating
18 | Party to sanctions.
19 6.2. Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in
20 | this Stipulated Protective Order (see, e.g., Section 6.2(a)), or as otherwise stipulated
21 | or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this
22 | Stipulated Protective Order must be clearly so designated before the material is
23 | disclosed or produced. Designation in conformity with this Stipulated Protective
24 | Order requires the following:
25 (a) For information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic
26 | documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial
27 || proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend
28 | “CONFIDENTIAL” to each page that contains protected material. If only a portion
-6-
_____.

1 | or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party
2 | also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate
3 | markings in the margins). A Party or Nonparty that makes original documents
4 | available for inspection need not designate them for protection until after the
5 || inspecting Party has indicated which documents it would like copied and produced.
6 | During the inspection and before the designation, all of the material made available
7 | for inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has
8 || identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must
9 | determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this
10 | Stipulated Protective Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the
11 | Producing Party must affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each page that
12 | contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page
13 | qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected
14 | portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
15 (b) For testimony given in depositions, that the Designating Party
16 | identify the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the
17 | deposition, all protected testimony.
18 (c) For information produced in nondocumentary form, and for any
19 | other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the
20 | exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the legend
21 | “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information warrants
22 | protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the
23 | protected portion(s).
24 6.3. Inadvertent Failure to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent
25 | failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive
26 || the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Stipulated Protective
27 | Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving
28 | Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in
-7-
________

1 | accordance with the provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order.
2 7. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
3 7.1. Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Nonparty may challenge a
4 | designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s
5 | Scheduling Order.
6 7.2. Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute
7 | resolution process, which shall comply with Local Rule 37.1 et seq., and with
8 || Section 4 of Judge Audero’s Procedures (“Mandatory Telephonic Conference for
9 | Discovery Disputes’’).1
10 7.3. Burden of Persuasion. The burden of persuasion in any such challenge
11 | proceeding shall be on the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those
12 | made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and
13 | burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless
14 | the Designating Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all
15 | parties shall continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to
16 | which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on
17 | the challenge.
18 8. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIALS
19 8.1. Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is
20 | disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Nonparty in connection with this
21 | Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such
22 | Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the
23 || conditions described in this Stipulated Protective Order. When the Action reaches a
24 | final disposition, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of Section 14
25 | below. Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a
26 | location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons
27 || authorized under this Stipulated Protective Order.
28 8.2. Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless
-8-
______

1 | otherwise ordered by the Court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a
2 | Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated
3 | “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:
4 (a) The Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record, as well as
5 | employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to
6 | disclose the information for this Action;
7 (b) The officers, directors, and employees (including In-House
8 | Counsel) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this
9 | Action;
10 (c) Experts of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably
11 | necessary for this Action and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and
12 | Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
13 (d) The Court and its personnel;
14 (e) Court reporters and their staff;
15 (f) Professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional
16 | Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary or this Action and who have
17 | signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to be Bound” (Exhibit A);
18 (g) The author or recipient of a document containing the information
19 | or a custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information;
20 (h) During their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in
21 | the Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing
22 || party requests that the witness sign the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be
23 | Bound” (Exhibit A); and (i1) the witness will not be permitted to keep any
24 | confidential information unless they sign the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to
25 | Be Bound,” unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the
26 | Court. Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that
27 | reveal Protected Material may be separately bound by the court reporter and may
28 | not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective
-9-

1 | 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 9. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED
5 PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION
6 Ifa Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation
7 | that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as
8 | “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:
9 (a) Promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall
10 | include a copy of the subpoena or court order;
11 (b) Promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to
12 | issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena
13 | or order is subject to this Stipulated Protective Order. Such notification shall
14 | include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and
15 (c) Cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued
16 | by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
17 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with
18 | the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this
19 | action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the Court from which the
20 | subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s
21 | permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking
22 | protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions
23 || should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action
24 || to disobey a lawful directive from another court.
25 10.A NONPARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE
26 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION
27 10.1. Application. The terms of this Stipulated Protective Order are
28 || applicable to information produced by a Nonparty in this Action and designated as
- 10-
a _______

1 | “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by Nonparties in connection with
2 | this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Stipulated
3 | Protective Order. Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a
4 | Nonparty from seeking additional protections.
5 10.2. Notification. In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery
6 || request, to produce a Nonparty’s confidential information in its possession, and the
7 | Party is subject to an agreement with the Nonparty not to produce the Nonparty’s
8 | confidential information, then the Party shall:
9 (a) Promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Nonparty
10 | that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality
11 | agreement with a Nonparty;
12 (b) Promptly provide the Nonparty with a copy of the Stipulated
13 | Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably
14 | specific description of the information requested; and
15 (c) Make the information requested available for inspection by the
16 | Nonparty, if requested. 10.3. Conditions of Production. If the Nonparty fails to seek
17 | a protective order from this Court within fourteen (14) days after receiving the
18 | notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may produce the
19 | Nonparty’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the
20 | Nonparty timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any
21 | information in its possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality
22 | agreement with the Nonparty before a determination by the Court. Absent a court
23 | order to the contrary, the Nonparty shall bear the burden and expense of seeking
24 || protection in this Court of its Protected Material.
25 11, UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
26 Ifa Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed
27 || Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this
28 || Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party immediately must (1) notify in
-11-
a ________

1 | writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (2) use its best
2 | efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (3) inform the
3 | person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of
4 | this Stipulated Protective Order, and (4) request such person or persons to execute
5 || the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to be Bound” (Exhibit A).
6 12. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE
7 PROTECTED MATERIAL
8 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain
9 | inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other
10 | protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal
11 | Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify
12 | whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for
13 | production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence
14 | 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure
15 || of a communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work
16 | product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the Stipulated
17 || Protective Order submitted to the Court.
18 13.MISCELLANEOUS
19 13.1. Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Stipulated Protective Order
20 || abridges the right of any person to seek its modification by the Court in the future.
21 13.2. Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this
22 || Stipulated Protective Order, no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to
23 | object to disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not
24 || addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right
25 | to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this
26 || Stipulated Protective Order.
27 13.3. Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any
28 || Protected Material must comply with Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may
-12-
_________

1 | only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the
2 | specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected Material
3 || under seal is denied by the Court, then the Receiving Party may file the information
4 | in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the Court.
5 14.FINAL DISPOSITION
6 After the final disposition of this Action, within sixty (60) days of a written
7 | request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return all Protected
8 || Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in this
9 | subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations,
10 | summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected
11 | Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving
12 | Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the
13 | same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60-day deadline that (1)
14 | identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was
15 | returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any
16 | copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or
17 | capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel is
18 | entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings; motion papers; trial, deposition,
19 | and hearing transcripts; legal memoranda; correspondence; deposition and trial
20 | exhibits; expert reports; attorney work product; and consultant and expert work
21 || product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival
22 | copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Stipulated
23 || Protective Order as set forth in Section 5.
24 15. VIOLATION
25 Any violation of this Stipulated Order may be punished by any and all
26 || appropriate measures including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or
27 || monetary sanctions.
