20 Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential, proprietary,
21 or private information for which special protection from public disclosure and from use
22 for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. Accordingly, the
23 parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the following Stipulated
24 Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket
25 protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords
26 from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or items that are
27 entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. The parties further
28 acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does

3 seeks permission from the court to file material under seal.

5 B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT
6 This action involves the City of Los Angeles and members of the Los Angeles
7 Police Department. Plaintiff is seeking materials and information that Defendants the City
8 of Los Angeles et al. (“City”) maintain as confidential, such as personnel files of the police
9 officers involved in this incident, Internal Affairs materials and information, video
10 recordings, audio recordings, photographs, Force Investigation Division materials and
11 information and other administrative materials and information currently in the possession
12 of the City and which the City believes need special protection from public disclosure and
13 from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation. Plaintiff is also seeking
14 official information contained in the personnel files of the police officers involved in the
15 subject incident, which the City maintains as strictly confidential and which the City
16 believes need special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other
17 than prosecuting this litigation.
18 The City asserts that the confidentiality of the materials and information sought by
19 Plaintiffs is recognized by California and federal law, as evidenced inter alia by California
20 Penal Code section 832.7 and Kerr v. United States Dist. Ct. for N.D. Cal., 511 F.2d 192,
21 198 (9th Cir. 1975), aff'd, 426 U.S. 394 (1976). The City has not publicly released the
22 materials and information referenced above except under protective order or pursuant to
23 a court order, if at all. These materials and information are of the type that has been used
24 to initiate disciplinary action against Los Angeles Police Department (“LAPD”) officers,
25 and has been used as evidence in disciplinary proceedings, where the officers’ conduct
26 was considered to be contrary to LAPD policy.
27 The City contends that absent a protective order delineating the responsibilities of
28 nondisclosure on the part of the parties hereto, there is a specific risk of unnecessary and

2
Case 2:21-cv-09915-FWS-AS Document 28 Filed 07/25/22 Page 3 of 16 Page ID #:211

1 undue disclosure by one or more of the many attorneys, secretaries, law clerks, paralegals
2 and expert witnesses involved in this case, as well as the corollary risk of embarrassment,
3 harassment and professional and legal harm on the part of the LAPD officers referenced
4 in the materials and information.
5 The City also contends that the unfettered disclosure of the materials and
6 information, absent a protective order, would allow the media to share this information
7 with potential jurors in the area, impacting the rights of the City herein to receive a fair
8 trial.
9 Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt resolution
10 of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately protect information
11 the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted
12 reasonable necessary uses of such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial,
13 to address their handling at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a
14 protective order for such information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties
15 that information will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing
16 be so designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential,
17 non-public manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part of the public record
18 of this case.
19 The parties agree that there is Good Cause for a Protective Order so as to preserve
20 the respective interests of the parties while streamlining the process of resolving any
21 disagreements.
22 The parties therefore stipulate that there is Good Cause for, and hereby jointly
23
request that the honorable Court issue a Protective Order regarding confidential
24
documents consistent with the terms and provisions of this Stipulation. However, the
25
entry of a Protective Order by the Court pursuant to this Stipulation shall not be construed
26
as any ruling by the Court on the aforementioned legal statements or privilege claims in
27
this section, no shall this section be construed as part of any such Court Order.

3 Even after Final Disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations
4 imposed by this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in
5 writing or a court order otherwise directs. Final disposition of this pending federal Action
6 shall be deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in this federal

9 this federal Action), trials, or reviews of this federal Action, including the time limits for
10 filing any motions or applications for extension of time pursuant to applicable law.
11
12 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
13 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.
14 Each Party or Nonparty that designates information or items for protection under
15 this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies
16 under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for protection only
17 those parts of material, documents, items or oral or written communications that qualify
18 so that other portions of the material, documents, items or communications for which
19 protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.
20 Mass, indiscriminate or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that
21 are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g.,
22 to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose unnecessary
23 expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating Party to sanctions.
24 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it
25 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must
26 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.

Case 2:21-cv-09915-FWS-AS Document 28 Filed 07/25/22 Page 7 of 16 Page ID #:215

1 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this
2 Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or
3 ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order
4 must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or produced.
5 Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
6 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic
7 documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings),
8 that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter
9 “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that contains protected material. If only a
10 portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party
11 also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings
12 in the margins).
13 A Party or Nonparty that makes original documents available for inspection
14 need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which
15 documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the
16 designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed
17 “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants
18 copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions
19 thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the specified
20 documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page
21 that contains Protected Material. If only a portion of the material on a page qualifies for
22 protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by
23 making appropriate markings in the margins).
24 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identifies
25 the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the deposition all
26 protected testimony.
27 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and
28 for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the

1 exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the legend
2 “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information warrants protection,
3 the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).
4 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent
5 failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the
6 Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon
7 timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to
8 assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order.
9 5.4 Alteration of Confidentiality Stamp Prohibited. A Receiving Party shall
10 not alter, edit, or modify any Protected Material so as to conceal, obscure, or remove a
11 “CONFIDENTIAL” stamp or legend thereon; nor shall a Receiving Party take any other
12 action so as to make it appear that Protected Material is not subject to the terms and
13 provisions of this Stipulation and its associated Order. However, nothing in this section
14 shall be construed so as to prevent a Receiving Party from challenging a confidentiality
15 designation subject to the provisions of section 6, infra.
16
17 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS
18 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Nonparty may challenge a designation
19 of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s Scheduling Order.
20 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution
21 process set forth in the Court’s Procedures and Schedules.
22 see http://www.cacd.uscourts.gov/honorable-alka-sagar
23 6.3 Burden of Persuasion. The burden of persuasion in any such challenge
24 proceeding shall be on the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an
25 improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other
26 parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has
27 waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to afford

2 Party’s designation until the Court rules on the challenge.
3
4 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
5 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is
6 disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-party in connection with this Action
7 only for prosecuting, defending or attempting to settle this Action. Such Protected
8 Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the conditions
9 described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a Receiving Party must
10 comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION).
11 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location
12 and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under
13 this Order.
14 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless
15 otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a
16 Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL”
17 only to:
18 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well as
19 employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to
20 disclose the information for this Action;
21 (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the
22 Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action;
23 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure
24 is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and
25 Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
26 (d) the court and its personnel;
27 (e) court reporters and their staff;

1 (f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional Vendors
2 to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the
3 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);
4 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a
5 custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information;
6 (h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the Action
7 to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing party requests that
8 the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit A hereto; and (2) they will not be permitted
9 to keep any confidential information unless they sign the “Acknowledgment and
10 Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party
11 or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to
12 depositions that reveal Protected Material may be separately bound by the court reporter
13 and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective
14 Order; and
15 (i) Any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, mutually
16 agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions.
17
18 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN
19 OTHER LITIGATION
20 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that
21 compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as
22 “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:
23 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall
24 include a copy of the subpoena or court order;
25 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to
26 issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or
27 order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this
28 Stipulated Protective Order; and

10
Case 2:21-cv-09915-FWS-AS Document 28 Filed 07/25/22 Page 11 of 16 Page ID #:219

1 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by
2 the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.
3 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the
4 subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as
5 “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the subpoena or order
6 issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The Designating
7 Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court of its
8 confidential material and nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing
9 or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action to disobey a lawful directive from another
10 court.
11
12 9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE
13 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION
14 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-
15 Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced
16 by Non-parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief
17 provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a
18 Non-party from seeking additional protections.
19 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce
20 a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an
21 agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information,
22 then the Party shall:
23 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that some
24 or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-
25 Party;
26 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective
27 Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific
28 description of the information requested; and
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER (Glover v. City of Los Angeles, et al)
11
Case 2:21-cv-09915-FWS-AS Document 28 Filed 07/25/22 Page 12 of 16 Page ID #:220

1 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party, if
2 requested.
3 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within 14 days
4 of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may produce
5 the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-
6 Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any
7 information in its possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement
8 with the Non-Party before a determination by the court. Absent a court order to the
9 contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in this
10 court of its Protected Material.
11
12 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
13 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed
14 Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this
15 Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing
16 the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all
17 unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom
18 unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, and (d) request such
19 person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is
20 attached hereto as Exhibit A.
21
22 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE
23 PROTECTED MATERIAL
24 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain inadvertently
25 produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the obligations of
26 the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B).
27 This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure may be established in an e-
28 discovery order that provides for production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER (Glover v. City of Los Angeles, et al)
12
Case 2:21-cv-09915-FWS-AS Document 28 Filed 07/25/22 Page 13 of 16 Page ID #:221

1 Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the
2 effect of disclosure of a communication or information covered by the attorney-client
3 privilege or work product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the
4 stipulated protective order submitted to the court.
5
6 12. MISCELLANEOUS
7 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any
8 person to seek its modification by the Court in the future.
9 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this
10 Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing
11 or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated
12 Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in
13 evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order.
14 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any
15 Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may only
16 be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific
17 Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected Material under seal is
18 denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in the public record
19 unless otherwise instructed by the court.
20
21 13. FINAL DISPOSITION
22 After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 60 days
23 of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return all
24 Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in this
25 subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations,
26 summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material.
27 Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit
28 a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the
STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER (Glover v. City of Los Angeles, et al)

1 Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where
2 appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that
3 the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any
4 other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this
5 provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers,
6 trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition
7 and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work
8 product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that
9 contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth
10 in Section 4 (DURATION).
11
12 14. VIOLATION
13 Any violation of this Stipulated Protective Order may be punished by any and all
14 appropriate measures including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or
