1122
Plaintiff,
1133 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE
vs. ORDER
1144
CITY OF FULLERTON, JOSEPH
1155 ZUNIGA, individually and as a peace
officer, DOES 1-10, inclusive
1166
Defendants.
1177
1188
Pursuant to the Stipulation of the parties (Dkt. 16), the Court makes the
1199
following findings and enters the following Order.
2200
1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
2211
Discovery in this action involves production of confidential, proprietary, or
2222
private information for which special protection from public disclosure and from
2233
use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted.
2244
Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the
2255
following Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket
2266
protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it
2277
11 affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or
22 items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable legal
33 principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 13.3, below,
44 that this Order does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal;
55 Local Civil Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and the
66 standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file
77 material under seal. There is a strong presumption that the public has a right of
88 access to judicial proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non-
99 dispositive motions, good cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See
1100 Kamakana v. City and County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th Cir. 2006),
1111 Phillips v. Gen. Motors Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar-
1122 Welbon v. Sony Electrics, Inc., 187 F.R.D. 576, 577 (E.D. Wis. 1999) (even
1133 stipulated protective orders require good cause showing), and a specific showing of
1144 good cause or compelling reasons with proper evidentiary support and legal
1155 justification, must be made with respect to Protected Material that a party seeks to
1166 file under seal. The parties’ mere designation of Disclosure or Discovery Material
1177 (as defined below) as CONFIDENTIAL does not— without the submission of
1188 competent evidence by declaration, establishing that the material sought to be filed
1199 under seal qualifies as confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable—
2200 constitute good cause.
2211 Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion or trial,
2222 then compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must be shown, and
2233 the relief sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the specific interest to be
2244 protected. See Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Ass’n., 605 F.3d 665, 677-79 (9th Cir.
2255 2010). For each item or type of information, document, or thing sought to be filed
2266 or introduced under seal, the party seeking protection must articulate compelling
2277 reasons, supported by specific facts and legal justification, for the requested sealing
order. Again, competent evidence supporting the application to file documents
11 under seal must be provided by declaration.
22 Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable
33 in its entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential portions can be
44 redacted. If documents can be redacted, then a redacted version for public viewing,
55 omitting only the confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable portions of the
66 document, shall be filed. Any application that seeks to file documents under seal in
77 their entirety should include an explanation of why redaction is not feasible.
88 2. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT
99 This action involves law enforcement tactics, procedures, training,
1100 regulations, personnel, investigations and rules for which special protection from
1111 public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecution of this
1122 action is warranted. Such confidential and proprietary materials and information
1133 consist of, among other things, documents maintained by the Fullerton Police
1144 Department and include, but are not limited to, internal policies and procedures,
1155 internal affairs investigation files, criminal investigation files, personnel files of
1166 current and/or former FPD officers, and other documents and information which
1177 implicate the privacy rights of parties and non-parties, which information is
1188 generally unavailable to the public and which is privileged or otherwise protected
1199 from disclosure under state and federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or
2200 common law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the
2211 prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to
2222 adequately protect information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to
2233 ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in
2244 preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of
2255 the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information
2266 is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that information will not be
2277 designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated
without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public
11 manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part of the public record in
22 this case.

11 Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, abstracts, summaries, or compilations of
22 Protected Material; and (3) any deposition testimony, conversations, or
33 presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material.
44 The protections conferred by this Order do not cover the following
55 information: (a) any information that is in the public domain at the time of
66 disclosure to a Receiving Party or becomes part of the public domain after its
77 disclosure to a Receiving Party as a result of publication not involving a violation
88 of this Order, including becoming part of the public record through trial or
99 otherwise; and (b) any information known to the Receiving Party prior to the
1100 disclosure or obtained by the Receiving Party after the disclosure from a source
1111 who obtained the information lawfully and under no obligation of confidentiality to
1122 the Designating Party.
1133 Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the
1144 trial judge. This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial.
1155 5. DURATION
1166 Once a case proceeds to trial, all of the court-filed information that is to be
1177 introduced that was previously designated as confidential or maintained pursuant
1188 to this protective Order becomes public and will be presumptively available to all
1199 members of the public, including the press, unless compelling reasons supported
2200 by specific factual findings to proceed otherwise are made to the trial judge in
2211 advance of the trial. See Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1180-81 (distinguishing "good
2222 cause" showing for sealing documents produced in discovery from "compelling
2233 reasons" standard when merits-related documents are part of court record). The
2244 terms of this Order do not extend beyond the commencement of the trial.
2255 6. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
2266 6.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for
2277 Protection: Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for
protection under this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific
11 material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must
22 designate for protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or
33 written communications that qualify so that other portions of the material,
44 documents, items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not
55 swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order. Mass, indiscriminate, or
66 routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are shown to be clearly
77 unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily
88 encumber the case development process or to impose unnecessary expenses and
99 burdens on other Parties) may expose the Designating Party to sanctions. If it
1100 comes to a Designating Party's attention that information or items that it designated
1111 for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating party must promptly
1122 notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.
1133 6.2 Manner and Timing of Designations: Except as otherwise
1144 provided in this Order, or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or
1155 Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so
1166 designated before the material is disclosed or produced.
1177 Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
1188 (a) For information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic
1199 documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial
2200 proceedings), that the Producing Party affix, at a minimum, the legend
2211 "CONFIDENTIAL" (hereinafter "CONFIDENTIAL legend") or the legend
2222 "ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY" (hereinafter "ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY legend")
2233 to each page that contains protected material. If only a portion of the material on a
2244 page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the
2255 protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
2266 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available
2277 for inspection need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting
Party has indicated which documents or materials it would like copied and
11 produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all of the material
22 made available for inspection shall be deemed "ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY."
33 After the inspecting Party has identified the documents or materials it wants copied
44 and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions
55 thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the
66 specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the "CONFIDENTIAL
77 legend" or the "ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY legend" to each page that contains
88 Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies
99 for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected
1100 portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
1111 (b) For testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identify
1122 the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the
1133 deposition, hearing, or other proceeding.
1144 (c) For information produced in some form other than documentary and
1155 for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on
1166 the exterior of the container or containers in which the information or item is
1177 stored the "CONFIDENTIAL legend" or the "ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY
1188 legend." If only a portion or portions of the information warrants protection, the
1199 Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).
2200 6.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate: If timely corrected, an
2211 inadvertent failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing
2222 alone, waive the Designating Party's right to secure protection under this Order for
2233 such material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must
2244 make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the
2255 provisions of this Order.
2266 6.4 Redacting Personal Information:
2277 (a) In addition to and/or in lieu of affixing the "CONFIDENTIAL" legend or
the "ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY" legend to Disclosure or Discovery Material
11 subject to this Order, the Parties reserve the right to redact Personal Information
22 contained in Disclosure or Discovery Material.
33 (b) Information that may be redacted pursuant to this Order includes, but
44 is not limited to, any Party's Personal Information as defined in sub-paragraph 3.14
55 above, and the Personal Information of any Party's family members.
66 (c) Any Party may challenge another Party's redaction of Personal
77 Information in accordance with paragraph 7 below.
88 7. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
99 7.1 Timing of Challenges: Any Party may challenge a designation
1100 of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court's Scheduling Order
1111 and any amendments thereto.
1122 7.2 Meet and Confer: The Challenging Party shall initiate the
1133 dispute resolution process under Local Rule 37.1, et seq. Any discovery motion
1144 must strictly comply with the procedures set forth in Local Rules 37-1, 37-2, and
1155 37-3.
1166 7.3 Burden: The burden of persuasion in any such challenge
1177 proceeding shall be on the Designating Party, Frivolous challenges, and those
1188 made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and
1199 burdens on other Parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless
2200 the Designating Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all
2211 Parties shall continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to
2222 which it is entitled under the Producing Party's designation until the Court rules on
2233 the challenge.
2244 8. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
2255 8.1 Basic Principles: A Receiving Party may use Protected Material
2266 that is disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection
2277 with this Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this
Action. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons
11 and under the conditions described in this Order, When the Action has been
22 terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 14 below
33 (FINAL DISPOSITION).
44 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving
55 Party at a location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the
66 persons authorized under this Order.
77 8.2 Disclosure of "CONFIDENTIAL" Disclosure or Discovery
88 Material. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court or permitted in writing by the
99 Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any Disclosure or Discovery
1100 Material designated "CONFIDENTIAL" only to:
1111 (a) The Receiving Party's Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as
1122 well as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably
1133 necessary to disclose the information for this Action;
1144 (b) The officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of
1155 the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action;
1166 (c) EXPERTS (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom
1177 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the
1188 "Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound" (Exhibit A);
1199 (d) The Court and its personnel;
2200 (e) Court reporters and their staff;
2211 (f) Professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional
2222 Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have
2233 signed the "Acknowledgement and Agreement to Be Bound" (Exhibit A);
2244 (g) The author or recipient of a document containing the information or a
2255 custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information;
2266 (h) During their depositions, witnesses and attorneys for witnesses in the
2277 Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing
party requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit 1 hereto; and (2)
11 they will not be permitted to .keep any confidential information unless they sign
22 the "Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound" (Exhibit A), unless otherwise
33 agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the Court. Pages of transcribed
44 deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material must
55 be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone
66 except as permitted under this Order; and
77 (i) Any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel,
88 mutually agreed upon by any of the Parties engaged in settlement discussions.
99 8.3 Disclosure of "ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY" Disclosure or
1100 Discovery Material. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court or permitted in writing
1111 by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any Disclosure or
1122 Discovery Material designated "ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY" only to:
1133 (a) Counsel as defined in sub-paragraph 3.4 above, so long as they do not
1144 share the content of any ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY material with any Party);
1155 and
1166 (b) Anyone identified in the foregoing sub-paragraphs 8.2(c), (d), (e), (g)
1177 and (h). In the event any ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY material is used in a
1188 deposition and/or attached to a deposition transcript as an exhibit, the provisions of
1199 sub-paragraph 8.2(h) above shall apply.
2200 9. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED
2211 PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION
2222 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation
2233 that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as
2244 "CONFIDENTIAL" or "ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY," that Party must:
2255 (a) Promptly notify in writing the Designating Party and provide a copy
2266 of the subpoena or court order unless a court order prohibits such notification;
2277 (b) Promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order
to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the
11 subpoena or order is subject to this Order. Such notification shall include a copy of
22 this Order; and
33 (c) Cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be
44 pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. If the
55 Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the
66 subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action
77 as "CONFIDENTIAL" or "ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY" before a determination
88 by the court from which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has
99 obtained the Designating Party's permission. The Designating Party shall bear the
1100 burden and expense of seeking protection in that court of its confidential material,
1111 and nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging
1122 a Receiving Party in this Action to disobey a lawful directive from another court.
1133 10. A NON-PARTY'S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE
1144 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION
1155 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a
1166 Non-Party in this action and designated as "CONFIDENTIAL" or "ATTORNEYS
1177 EYES ONLY". Such information produced by Non-Parties in connection with this
1188 litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in
1199 these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking
2200 additional protections.
2211 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to
2222 produce a Non-Party's confidential information in its possession, and the Party is
2233 subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party's
2244 confidential information, then the Party shall:
2255 (1) Promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-
2266 Party that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality
2277 agreement with a Non-Party;
(2) Promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of this Order, the
11 relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of the
22 information requested; and
33 (3) Make the information requested available for inspection by the
44 Non-Party, if requested.
55 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this Court within
66 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving
77 Party may produce the Non-Party's confidential information responsive to the
88 discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving
99 Party shall not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject
1100 to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the
1111 Court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden
1122 and expense of seeking protection in this Court of its Protected Material.
1133 11. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED
1144 MATERIAL
1155 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has
1166 disclosed Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized
1177 under this Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the
1188 Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve
1199 all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons
2200 to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, and (d)
2211 request such person or persons to execute the "Acknowledgment and Agreement to
2222 Be Bound" that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
2233 12. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR
2244 OTHERWISE PROTECTED MATERIAL
2255 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain
2266 inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other
2277 protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Fed. R.
Civ. P. 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure
11 may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without
22 prior privilege review. Pursuant to Fed. R. Evid. 502(d) and (e), insofar as the
33 parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or
44 information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection,
55 the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order
66 submitted to the Court.
77 13. MISCELLANEOUS
88 13.1 Right to Further Relief: Nothing in this Order abridges the right
99 of any person to seek its modification by the Court in the future.
1100 13.2 Right to Assert Other Objections: By stipulating to the entry of
1111 this Order, no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to
1122 disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in
1133 this Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in
1144 evidence of any of the material covered by this Order.
1155 13.3 Filing Protected Material: A Party that seeks to file under seal
1166 any Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected
1177 Material may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the
1188 sealing of the specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file
1199 Protected Material under seal is denied by the Court, then the Receiving Party may
2200 file the information in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the Court.
2211 14. FINAL DISPOSITION
2222 After the final disposition of this action, within 60 days of a written request
2233 by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return all Protected Material
2244 to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in this subdivision, "all
2255 Protected Material" includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and
2266 any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether
2277 the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a
written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to
1 || the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by category,
2 || where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and
3 | (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts,
4 | compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of the
5 || Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain
6 || an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing
7 || transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert
8 || reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if
9 || such materials contain Protected Material, Any such archival copies that contain or
10 || constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Order as set forth in Section 5
11 | (DURATION).
