JANE DOE A.G., Case No. 1:25-cv-00896-JLT-SAB
12
Plaintiff, ORDER REGARDING STIPULATED
13 PROTECTIVE ORDER
v.
14 (ECF No. 17)
JONATHON JOSHUA OLMOS, et al.,
15
Defendants.
16
17 IT IS STIPULATED BY THE PARTIES, BY AND THROUGH THEIR
18 RESPECTIVE COUNSEL, AND ORDERED BY THE COURT AS FOLLOWS:
19 1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
20 Defendants Jonathon Joshua Olmos and Randall Allen Jr., were employed by CALCTRA
21 (formerly “CALPIA”), at the Central California Women’s Facility (“CCWF”). Plaintiff alleges
22 that in 2023, she was subjected to sexual abuse and assault by her CALCTRA Supervisor,
23 Jonathon Joshua Olmos, while employed as an inmate worker at CCWF. Plaintiff further alleges
24 that Jonathon Joshua Olmos’s Supervisor, Randall Allen Jr., was also engaged in the sexual
25 abuse of inmates and turned a blind eye to the sexual abuse of inmates employed at CCCWF.
26 Plaintiff alleges CDCR and/or CALCTRA personnel investigated these allegations, the
27 events surrounding the alleged abuse, and prepared confidential reports and memoranda
documenting the results of these investigations. These reports include confidential staff and
1 inmate interviews. Relevant case documentation may also be included in non-party inmate files
2 and confidential inmate records for Plaintiff and non-party inmates.
3 CALCTRA also maintains confidential personnel files concerning Defendants Jonathon
4 Joshua Olmos and Randall Allen Jr.
5 This action is likely to involve the disclosure of confidential materials that implicate the
6 privacy rights of Plaintiff, Defendants, and third parties, material that may negatively impact the
7 institutional security of the CDCR or CALCTRA, and material that is otherwise protected from
8 disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common law. The Court
9 recognizes that at least some of the documents and information (materials) that will be sought
10 through discovery in the above-captioned action are normally kept confidential by the parties.
11 Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of
12 disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties
13 are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary
14 uses of such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at
15 the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is
16 justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that information will not be designated as
17 confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that
18 it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause why it
19 should not be part of the public record of this case.
20 Accordingly, the Parties stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the following
21 Stipulated Protective Order (“Order”). The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer
22 blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery, and that the protection it affords
23 from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled
24 to confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. The Parties further acknowledge,
25 as set forth in Section 12.3 below, that this Order does not entitle them to file confidential
26 information under seal; General Local Rule 141 sets forth the procedures that must be followed
27 and the standards that will be applied when a Party seeks permission from the Court to file
1 material under seal. The parties have agreed to be bound by the terms of this Order in this
2 action.
3 2. DEFINITIONS
4 2.1 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the designation of
5 information or items under this Order.
6 2.2 “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Information or Items:
7 information (regardless of how it is generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that
8 qualify for protection and includes confidential information that has not been made immediately
9 available to the general public by the Plaintiff(s), CDCR, CALCTRA, or their agents and
10 employees, and constitutes or discloses information which threatens safety or security of a prison
11 or individual. “Attorneys” shall be limited to the counsel of record in this case and their support
12 staff.
13 2.3 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information (regardless of how it is
14 generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for protection as confidential as
15 stated in Section 2.2, but that may be disclosed to the parties in this action.
16 2.4 Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates information or items that
17 it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as “CONFIDENTIAL” or
18 “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.”
19 2.5 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless of the
20 medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, among other things,
21 testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced, made available for inspection, or
22 generated in disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter.
23 2.6 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter pertinent
24 to the litigation who has been or may be retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as an expert
25 witness or as a consultant in this action, or who may testify as a non-retained expert.

27 legal entity not named as a Party to this action.
1 2.8 Counsel of Record: attorneys who are retained to represent or advise a party to
2 this action and have appeared in this action on behalf of that party or are affiliated with a law
3 firm which has appeared on behalf of that party, as well as their support staff. No current inmate
4 or relative of a Party shall qualify as support staff in this case, regardless of whether they are
5 employed by Counsel’s firm.
6 2.9 Party: any party to this action, including all of its officers, directors, employees,
7 consultants, retained experts, and Counsel of Record (and their support staff).
8 2.10 Producing Party: a Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or Discovery
9 Material in this action.
10 2.11 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation support services
11 (e.g., photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or demonstrations, and
12 organizing, storing, or retrieving data in any form or medium) and their employees and
13 subcontractors. Professional Vendors who visit any prison must comply with the institution’s
14 rules and entry procedures as well as any applicable portions of the Department Operations
15 Manual and the California Code of Regulations, title 15.
16 2.12 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is designated as
17 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.”
18 2.13 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material from a
19 Producing Party.
20 3. SCOPE
21 The protections conferred by this Order cover not only Protected Material (as defined
22 above), but also: (1) any information copied or extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies,
23 excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony,
24 conversations, or presentations by Parties or their Counsel that reveal Protected Material. This
25 order does not govern any use of Protected Material at trial.
26 4. DURATION
27 Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by
1 order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of: (1) dismissal of all
2 claims and defenses in this action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment after the
3 completion and exhaustion of all appeals, re-hearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this action,
4 including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time under
5 applicable law.
6 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
7 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each Party
8 or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take care
9 to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards.
10 The Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of material, documents,
11 items, 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 swept
13 unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.
14 Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are
15 shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to
16 unnecessarily encumber or retard the case development process or to impose unnecessary
17 expenses and burdens on other parties) expose the Designating Party to sanctions. If it comes to
18 a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it designated for protection do not
19 qualify for protection, the Designating Party must promptly notify all other Parties that it is
20 withdrawing the mistaken designation.
21 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order,
22 or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for
23 protection under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or
24 produced.
25 Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
26 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, but
27 excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing
1 ONLY” to each page that contains protected material provided that such marking does not
2 obscure the content of any record. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page
3 qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s)
4 (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins or footer).
5 (b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, that
6 the Designating Party identify the specific portions of the testimony as to which protection is
7 sought within 14 days of a hearing where no court reporter was present, or, in the case of a
8 proceeding where a court reporter is present, within 14 days of receipt of the transcript. Only
9 those portions of the testimony that are appropriately designated for protection within the 14
10 days shall be covered by the provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order.
11 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any
12 other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the
13 item, container, or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend
14 “CONFIDENTIAL” or CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” If only a portion or
15 portions of the information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the extent
16 practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the
17 margins).
18 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. An inadvertent failure to designate qualified
19 information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s right to secure
20 protection under this Order for such material, and the Receiving Party must make reasonable
21 efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order.
22 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
23 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of
24 confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party’s confidentiality
25 designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable, substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic
26 burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not waive its right to
27 challenge a confidentiality designation by electing not to mount a challenge promptly after the
1 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution
2 process by providing written notice to the Designating Party of each designation it is challenging
3 and describing the basis for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has
4 been made, the written notice must recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in
5 accordance with this specific paragraph of the Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each
6 challenge in good faith and must begin the process by conferring within 7 days of the date of
7 service of notice unless the Parties agree to confer on a later date. In conferring, the Challenging
8 Party must explain the basis for its belief that the confidentiality designation was not proper and
9 must give the Designating Party an opportunity to review the designated material, to reconsider
10 the circumstances, and, if no change in designation is offered, to explain the basis for the chosen
11 designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next stage of the challenge process only if
12 it has engaged in this meet-and-confer process first or establishes that the Designating Party is
13 unwilling to participate in the meet-and-confer process in a timely manner.
14 6.3 Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court
15 intervention, the Challenging Party may file and serve a motion challenging the designation
16 under Civil Local Rule 251, within 21 days of the initial notice of challenge or within 14 days of
17 the parties agreeing that the meet-and-confer process will not resolve their dispute, whichever is
18 later. The Parties may agree to modify this timeline. Upon such motion, the Designating Party
19 may present the material to the Court for an in camera review to determine whether and to what
20 extent such information must be disclosed. The Challenging Party may also challenge the
21 designation through the Court’s informal process for resolving discovery disputes, to the extent
22 that it is available and the other parties are willing, and provided that a hearing through the
23 informal process is set within the same time prescribed above for filing and serving a motion
24 challenging the designation under Local Rule 251.
25 6.4 The burden of persuasion in any challenge made pursuant to ¶¶ 6.1-6.3 shall be on
26 the Designating Party.
27 / / /
1 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
2 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed
3 or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this case only for
4 prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected Material may be
5 disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order.
6 When the litigation has been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of
7 section 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION).
8 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location and in a
9 secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under this Order.
10 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Information or
11 items. Counsel for the Receiving Party may not disclose any information or item designated
12 “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” to Plaintiffs, members of Plaintiffs’ family,
13 known friends or associates of Plaintiffs, any inmate or parolee, or the public. Unless otherwise
14 ordered by the Court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, information or items
15 designated “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEY’S EYES ONLY” may only be disclosed to:
16 (a) Any Party’s Counsel in this action, as well as employees of the Party’s
17 Counsel to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information for this litigation, and the
18 Party’s insurer. Staff employed by Counsel will not disclose any item or information designated
19 “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or make copies of any item or information
20 so designated, except as necessary for this litigation. Counsel is responsible for ensuring that
21 their staff complies with this Order;
22 (b) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure
23 is reasonably necessary for this litigation;
24 (c) the Court and its personnel;
25 (d) court reporters and their staff, professional jury or trial consultants, and
26 Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation;
27 (e) during their depositions, non-inmate or non-parolee witnesses in the action to
1 ordered by the Court, and provided that the witness does not leave any deposition with copies of
2 any Protected Material. Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that
3 reveal Protected Material must be separately bound by the court reporter, labeled as confidential,
4 and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this Order;
5 (f) the author or recipient of the document in question or a custodian or other
6 person who otherwise already possessed or knew the information contained in it; and
7 (g) mediators, settlement officers, and their supporting personnel, mutually
8 agreed on by the Parties engaged in settlement discussions.
9 7.3 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or items. Unless otherwise
10 ordered by the Court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, information or items
11 designated “CONFIDENTIAL” may only be disclosed to:
12 (a) any Party’s Counsel in this action, as well as employees of the Receiving
13 Party’s Counsel to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information for this litigation
14 and the Party’s insurer. Staff employed by Counsel will not disclose any item or information
15 designated “CONFIDENTIAL” or make copies of any item or information so designated, except
16 as necessary for this litigation. Counsel is responsible for ensuring that their staff complies with
17 this Order;
18 (b) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure
19 is reasonably necessary for this litigation;
20 (c) the Court and its personnel;
21 (d) court reporters and their staff, professional jury or trial consultants, and
22 Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation;
23 (e) during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is
24 reasonably necessary, unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the Court,
25 and provided that the witness does not leave any deposition with copies of any Protected
26 Material. Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal
27 Protected Material must be separately bound by the court reporter, labeled as confidential, and
1 (f) the author or recipient of the document in question or a custodian or other
2 person who otherwise already possessed or knew the information contained in it;
3 (g) mediators, settlement officers, and their supporting personnel, mutually agreed
4 on by the Parties engaged in settlement discussions; and
5 (h) the Parties in this action.
6 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN
7 OTHER LITIGATION
8 8.1 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that
9 compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL”
10 or CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” that Party must:
11 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall
12 include a copy of the subpoena or court order;
13 (b) promptly notify in writing the Party who caused the subpoena or order to
14 issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or order is
15 subject to this Order. Such notification shall include a copy of Order; and
16 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by
17 the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
18 8.2 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the
19 subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as
20 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” before a
21 determination by the court from which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has
22 obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and
23 expense of seeking protection in that court of its confidential material – and nothing in these
24 provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to
25 disobey a lawful directive from another court.
26 / / /
27 / / /
1 9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN
2 THIS LITIGATION
3 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-Party in this
4 action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES
5 ONLY.” 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 provisions should
7 be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protection. Any party may
8 mark documents produced by any other party or non-party as “CONFIDENTIAL” or
9 “CONFIDENTIAL-ATTORNEY’S EYES ONLY,” to the extent consistent with section 5.1.
10 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce a Non-
11 Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement with
12 the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall:
13 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that some
14 or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party;
15 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective Order
16 in this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of the
17 information requested; and
18 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party.
19 (c) If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court within 14
20 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may produce
21 the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-Party
22 timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its
23 possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a
24 determination by the court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the
25 burden and expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.
26 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
27 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected
1 any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Order, the Receiving Party must
2 immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures,
3 including identifying the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made, (b) use
4 its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, and (c) inform the
5 person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order.
6 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE
7 PROTECTED MATERIAL
8 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain inadvertently
9 produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the obligations of the
10 Receiving Parties are those set forth in section 10.
11 12. MISCELLANEOUS
12 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person to
13 seek its modification by the Court in the future.
14 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Order, no
15 Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any
16 information or item on any ground not addressed in this Order. Similarly, no Party waives any
17 right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Order.
18 12.3 Filing Protected Material. Protected Material may only be filed pursuant to Local
19 Rule 141 provided, however, that a Party filing a request to seal documents designated by
20 another as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” shall
21 state in the request that the documents were designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or
22 “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” by the Designating Party, and the
23 Designating Party shall then bear the burden of showing good cause or demonstrating
24 compelling reasons for sealing the documents using the procedures set forth in Local Rule 141.
25 In this instance, the Designating Party must file a document establishing that the designated
26 materials are sealable within five court days of the filing of the motion to seal. In the event the
27 Court denies any party’s Request to Seal Documents, the material may nonetheless be filed.
1 12.4 Access to Protected Material by Authorized Government Officials. Nothing in
2 this Order is intended to prevent officials or employees of the State of California, the California
3 Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, CALCTRA, or other authorized government
4 officials from having access to Protected Material to which they have access in the normal
5 course of their official duties.
6 13. FINAL DISPOSITION
7 13.1 Return or Destruction of Protected Material. Within 60 days after the final
8 disposition of this action, as defined in paragraph 4, each Receiving Party must return all
9 Protected Material to the Producing Party for destruction or destroy such material. As used in
10 this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries,
11 and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether the
12 Protected Material is returned, or destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a written
13 certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the Designating
14 Party) by the 60-day deadline that affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies,
15 abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of the
16 Protected Material, other than the exceptions set forth in section 13.2.
17 13.2 Right to Retain Certain Categories of Material. Notwithstanding this section,
18 Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition,
19 and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert
20 reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials
21 contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected
22 Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION).
