21 1.1 PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
22 Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential,
23 proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public
24 disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may
25 be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to

enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this
2
Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to
3
discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends
4
only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment
5
under the applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth
6
in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them
7
to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the
8
procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a
9
party seeks permission from the court to file material under seal.

1.2 GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT
2
In this case, Plaintiffs claim Defendants violated their constitutional rights by
3
entering their home without a warrant. In connection with these claims, Plaintiffs are
4
seeking materials and information that Defendant City of Los Angeles (“City”)
5
maintain as confidential. These records may contain confidential files such as video
6
recordings, audio recordings, and information and other materials currently in the
7
possession of the City and which City believes need special protection from public
8
disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation.
9
City asserts that the confidentiality of the materials and information sought by
10
Plaintiff is recognized by California and federal law. The City has not publicly
11
released the materials and information referenced above except under protective order
12
or pursuant to a court order, if at all.
13
The City contends that absent a protective order delineating the responsibilities
14
of nondisclosure on the part of the parties hereto, there is a specific risk of
15
unnecessary and undue disclosure by one or more of the many attorneys, secretaries,
16
law clerks, paralegals and expert witnesses involved in this case.
17
The City also contends that the unfettered disclosure of the materials and
18
information, absent a protective order, may impact the rights of the City herein to
19
receive a fair trial.
20
Thus, good cause exists for the entry of this pretrial protective order in that the
21
action involves claims of constitutional rights violations by law enforcement officers
22
who acted while in the course of their employment. Accordingly, to expedite the flow
23
of information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of
24
discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties are entitled to keep
25
confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such
26
material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the
27
end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such
28
1
PROPOSED PROTECTIVE ORDER
Case 2:20-cv-10553-PSG-KS Document 60 Filed 03/22/22 Page 5 of 19 Page ID #:574

1
information is justified in this matter.
2
It is the intent of the parties that information will not be designated as
3
confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good faith
4
belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and there is
5
good cause why it should not be part of the public record of this case. In order to
6
enable the parties and the Court to more efficiently work through concerns raised
7
regarding the propriety of disclosing any such information, the parties wish the Court
8
to enter the following proposed order into the record.
9
1.3 ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PROCEDURE FOR FILING UNDER
10
SEAL
11
The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this
12
Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information
13
under seal; Local Civil Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and
14
the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file
15
material under seal.
16
There is a strong presumption that the public has a right of access to judicial
17
proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non-dispositive motions,
18
good cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See Kamakana v. City and
19
County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th Cir. 2006), Phillips v. Gen. Motors
20
Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar-Welbon v. Sony Electrics,
21
Inc., 187 F.R.D. 576, 577 (E.D. Wis. 1999) (even stipulated protective orders
22
require good cause showing), and a specific showing of good cause or compelling
23
reasons with proper evidentiary support and legal justification, must be made with
24
respect to Protected Material that a party seeks to file under seal. The parties’ mere
25
designation of Disclosure or Discovery Material as CONFIDENTIAL does not—
26
without the submission of competent evidence by declaration, establishing that the
27
28

2
PROPOSED PROTECTIVE ORDER
Case 2:20-cv-10553-PSG-KS Document 60 Filed 03/22/22 Page 6 of 19 Page ID #:575

1
material sought to be filed under seal qualifies as confidential, privileged, or
2
otherwise protectable—constitute good cause.
3
Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion or trial, then
4
compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must be shown, and the relief
5
sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the specific interest to be protected. See
6
Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Ass’n., 605 F.3d 665, 677-79 (9th Cir. 2010). For each
7
item or type of information, document, or thing sought to be filed or introduced under
8
seal in connection with a dispositive motion or trial, the party seeking protection must
9
articulate compelling reasons, supported by specific facts and legal justification, for
10
the requested sealing order. Again, competent evidence supporting the application to
11
file documents under seal must be provided by declaration.
12
Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable in
13
its entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential portions can be redacted. If
14
documents can be redacted, then a redacted version for public viewing, omitting only
15
the confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable portions of the document, shall
16
be filed. Any application that seeks to file documents under seal in their entirety
17
should include an explanation of why redaction is not feasible.

5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
2
5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.
3
Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this
4
Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies
5
under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for protection
6
only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written communications that
7
qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, items, or communications for
8
which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this
9
Order.
10
Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations
11
that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper
12
purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose
13
unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating Party
14
to sanctions.
15
If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it
16
designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must
17
promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.
18
5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this
19
Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated
20
or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this
21
Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or produced.
22
Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
23
(a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic
24
documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial
25
proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend
26
“CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that
27
contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page
28

6
PROPOSED PROTECTIVE ORDER
Case 2:20-cv-10553-PSG-KS Document 60 Filed 03/22/22 Page 10 of 19 Page ID #:579

1
qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected
2
portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).
3
A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection
4
need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated
5
which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before
6
the designation, all of the material made available for inspection will be deemed
7
“CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants
8
copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or
9
portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the
10
specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL legend”
11
to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the
12
material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly
13
identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the
14
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 some form other than documentary
19
and for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on
20
the 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, will identify the protected
23
portion(s).
24
5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent
25
failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the
26
Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon
27
timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts
28

7
PROPOSED PROTECTIVE ORDER
Case 2:20-cv-10553-PSG-KS Document 60 Filed 03/22/22 Page 11 of 19 Page ID #:580

1
to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order.
2
6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
3
6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a
4
designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s
5
Scheduling Order.
6
6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute
7
resolution process (and, if necessary, file a discovery motion) under Local Rule 37.1 et
8
seq.
9
6.3 Joint Stipulation. Any challenge submitted to the Court shall be via a
10
joint stipulation pursuant to Local Rule 37-2.
11
6.4 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding will be on the
12
Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose
13
(e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may
14
expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived or
15
withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties will continue to afford the
16
material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing
17
Party’s 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
20
disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party 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 Order. When the Action has been terminated, a Receiving
24
Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION).
25
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 Order.

1
7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless
2
otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a
3
Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL”
4
only to:
5
(a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as
6
well as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably
7
necessary to disclose the information for this Action;
8
(b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel)
9
of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action;
10
(c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom
11
disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the
12
“Acknowledgment and 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 for 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 or
19
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 form attached as Exhibit A hereto; and (2) they
23
will not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the
24
“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed
25
by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed deposition
26
testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may be separately
27
bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted

under this Stipulated Protective 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
8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED
5
IN OTHER LITIGATION
6
If a 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
10
will include a copy of the subpoena or court order;
11
(b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or
12
order to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the
13
subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification will include a
14
copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and
15
(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be
16
pursued 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 will not produce any information designated in this action
19
as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the subpoena
20
or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The
21
Designating Party will bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court
22
of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions should be construed as
23
authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action to disobey a lawful
24
directive from another court.
25
9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE
26
PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION
27
(a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by
28

10
PROPOSED PROTECTIVE ORDER
Case 2:20-cv-10553-PSG-KS Document 60 Filed 03/22/22 Page 14 of 19 Page ID #:583

1
a Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information
2
produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies
3
and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be construed as
4
prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.
5
(b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to
6
produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is
7
subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s
8
confidential information, then the Party will:
9
(1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the
10
Non-Party that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality
11
agreement with a Non-Party;
12
(2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the
13
Stipulated Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a
14
reasonably specific description of the information requested; and
15
(3) make the information requested available for inspection by
16
the Non-Party, if requested.
17
(c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court
18
within 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving
19
Party may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the
20
discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving
21
Party will not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the
22
confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court.
23
Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party will bear the burden and expense
24
of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.
25
10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
26
If a 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

11
PROPOSED PROTECTIVE ORDER
Case 2:20-cv-10553-PSG-KS Document 60 Filed 03/22/22 Page 15 of 19 Page ID #:584

1
Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in
2
writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to
3
retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or
4
persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order,
5
and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and
6

7
11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE
8
PROTECTED MATERIAL
9
When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain
10
inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection,
11
the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil
12
Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure
13
may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior
14
privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the
15
parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or
16
information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the
17
parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted to
18
the court.
19
12. MISCELLANEOUS
20
12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any
21
person to seek its modification by the Court in the future.
22
12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this
23
Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to
24
disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this
25
Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any
26
ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order.
27
12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any

1
Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may
2
only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific
3
Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected Material under seal is
4
denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in the public
5
record unless otherwise instructed by the court.
6
13. FINAL DISPOSITION
7
After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 60
8
days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return
9
all Protected Material to the Producing Party. As used in this subdivision, “all
10
Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any
11
other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. The Receiving
12
Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same
13
person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies
14
(by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned and (2)
15
affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations,
16
summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material.
17
Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all
18
pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda,
19
correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product,
20
and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials contain Protected
21
Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material
22
remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION).
