19. A. 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
23 ||be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to
24 || enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this
25
ae This Stipulated Protective Order is substantially based on the model protective
27 || order provided under Magistrate Judge Gail J. Standish’s Procedures.

1 || Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to
2 || discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends
3 || only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment
4 || under the applicable legal principles.
5 B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT
6 This action is likely to involve confidential information pertaining to
7 || personnel records and institutional procedures within the institution and other
8 || materials subject to privacy protections for which special protection from public
g 9 || disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecution of this action is
4 bee 10 || warranted. Defendants contend that limiting disclosure of these documents to the
: 5: 11 || context of this litigation as provided herein will, accordingly, further important law
G ecu 12 || enforcement objectives and interests, including the safety of law enforcement
3 ou 13 || personnel, institutional safety as a whole, and the public, as well as individual
14 || privacy rights of Plaintiff, Defendants, and third parties. Defendants further contend
15 || that such confidential materials and information consist of, among other things,
16 || materials entitled to privileges and/or protections under the following: the United
17 || States Constitution, First Amendment; the California Constitution, Article I, Section
18 || 1; California Penal Code §§ 832.5, 832.7, and 832.8; California Evidence Code §8§
19 || 1040 and 1043 et seq.; the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. § 552a; the right to
20 || privacy; decisional law relating to such provisions; and information otherwise
21 || generally unavailable to the public, or which may be privileged or otherwise
22 || protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case decisions,
23 ||or common law. Defendants also maintain that such confidential materials and
24 || information consist of materials entitled to the Official Information Privilege.
25 Confidential information with respect to the Defendants may include:
26 || personnel files; internal institutional procedures and policy, investigative files and
27 || documents; email and written correspondence records; and policies and procedures
28 || that are kept from the public in the ordinary course of business, as well as other
4.
Case 4/22-cv-00305-DSF-GJS Document 32 Filed 05/12/22 Page 3of17 Page ID#:179
items subject to the Official Information Privilege and other privileges. The Parties
2 || reserve the right to challenge a designation of confidentiality pursuant to the terms
3 || set forth under Paragraph 6 of this Stipulated Protective Order.
4 Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt
5 || resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately
6 || protect information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the
7 || parties are permitted to reasonable necessary uses of such material in preparation for
8 || and in conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of the litigation, and
4 2 9 || serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is justified in this
a He 10 || matter. It is the intent of the parties that information will not be designated as
est 11 || confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good
5 12 || faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and
3 oa 13 || there is good cause why it should not be part of the public record of this case.
= 14 C. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PROCEDURE FOR FILING UNDER SEAL
15 The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this
16 || Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information
17 || under seal; Local Civil Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed
18 || and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court
19 || to file material under seal.
20 There is a strong presumption that the public has a right of access to judicial
21 || proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non-dispositive motions,
22 || good cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See Kamakana v. City and
23 || County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th Cir. 2006), Phillips v. Gen. Motors
24 || Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar-Welbon v. Sony Electrics,
25 || Jnc., 187 F.R.D. 576, 577 (E.D. Wis. 1999) (even stipulated protective orders
26 || require good cause showing), and a specific showing of good cause or compelling
27 || reasons with proper evidentiary support and legal justification, must be made with
28 || respect to Protected Material that a party seeks to file under seal. The parties’ mere
Case 4{22-cv-00305-DSF-GJS Document 32 Filed 05/12/22 Page 4of17 Page ID #:180
1 || designation of Disclosure or Discovery Material as CONFIDENTIAL does not—
2 || without the submission of competent evidence by declaration, establishing that the
3 || material sought to be filed under seal qualifies as confidential, privileged, or
4 || otherwise protectable—constitute good cause.
5 Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion or trial, then
6 || compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must be shown, and the
7 || relief sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the specific interest to be protected.
8 || See Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Ass’n, 605 F.3d 665, 677-79 (9th Cir. 2010). For
2 9 || each item or type of information, document, or thing sought to be filed or introduced
4 BBs 10 || under seal in connection with a dispositive motion or trial, the party seeking
: 3: 11 || protection must articulate compelling reasons, supported by specific facts and legal
5 203 12 || justification, for the requested sealing order. Again, competent evidence supporting
zh 13 || the application to file documents under seal must be provided by declaration.
= 14 Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable in
15 || its entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential portions can be redacted.
16 || If documents can be redacted, then a redacted version for public viewing, omitting
17 || only the confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable portions of the document,
18 || shall be filed. Any application that seeks to file documents under seal in their
19 || entirety should include an explanation of why redaction is not feasible.

16)|4.. DURATION
17 FINAL DISPOSITION of the action is defined as the conclusion of any
18 || appellate proceedings, or, if no appeal is taken, when the time for filing of an appeal
i9 ||has run. Except as set forth below, the terms of this protective order apply through

4 || such materials, the terms of this protective order do not extend beyond the
5 || commencement of the trial.
6||5. | DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
7 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.
8 || Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under
= 9 || this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that
4 ei 10 || qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for
set 11 || protection only those parts of material, documents, items or oral or written
SG 12 || communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, items
a oa 13 || or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably
= 82° 14|| within the ambit of this Order.
15 Mass, indiscriminate or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations
16 || that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper
17 || purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose
18 || unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating
19 || Party to sanctions.
20 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it
21 || designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must
22 || promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.
23 5.2. Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in
24 || this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise
25 || stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection
26 || under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or
27 || produced.
28 Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
Case □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ Document 32 Filed 05/12/22 Page 8of17 Page ID #:184
1 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents,
2 || but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that
3 || the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter
4 ||“CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that contains protected material. If only a
5 || portion of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also
6 || must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings
7 the margins).
8 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection
4 8 9 ||need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated
4 bag 10 || which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and
ag! 11 || before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be
5 aoe 12 || deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the
3 ou 13 || documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which
14 || documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then,
15 || before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the
16 || “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a
17 || portion of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also
18 || must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings
19 || in the margins).
20 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identifies
21 || the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the
22 || deposition all protected testimony.
23 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for
24 || any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the
25 || exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the legend
26 || “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information warrants
27 || protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected
28 || portion(s).

1 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent
2 || failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive
3 || the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material.
4 || Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable
5 || efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this
6 || Order.
7\;}6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
8 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a
2 9 || designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s
#8g 10]| Scheduling Order.
=! 11 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute
S acy 12 || resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq.
3 a 13 6.3. The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on
= 37 14 || the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper
= 15 || purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other
16 || parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating
17 || Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall
18 || continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is
19 || entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the
20 || challenge.
21||7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
22 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is
23 || disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this
24 || Action only for prosecuting, defending or attempting to settle this Action. Such
25 || Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the
26 || conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a
27 || Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL
28 || DISPOSITION).

4 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless
5 || otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a
6 || Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated
7 \|“CONFIDENTIAL” only to:
