11

JOHN F. DEONARINE,

12

Plaintiff

13 vs. STIPULATED PROTECTIVE

ORDER

14 LOPEZ, et al.

15

Defendants.

16

17 I. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS1

18

A. Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of

19

confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection

20

from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting

21

22

23

1 This Stipulated Protective Order is substantially based on the model protective

24

order provided under Magistrate Judge Autumn D. Spaeth’s Procedures.

1 this litigation may be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate

2

to and petition the Court to enter the following Stipulated Protective Order.

3

The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections

4

on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords

5

from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or

6

7 items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable legal

8 principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section XIII(C),

9

below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file

10

confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the

11

procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied

12

13 when a party seeks permission from the Court to file material under seal.

14 II. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT

15

A. This action involves Officer Aguilar, Officer Rosales, and Lt.

16

McNulty, and Officer Morales (“Defendants”). Plaintiff is seeking materials and

17

information that Defendants maintain as confidential, such as Internal Affairs

18

materials and information, video recordings, audio recordings, and information,

19

20 personnel records and other administrative materials and information currently in

21 the possession of Defendants which may be entitled to special protection from

22

public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this

23

litigation. Additionally, discovery may include sensitive confidential financial

24

1 and business information, which may require heightened protection from public

2

disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation.

3

Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt

4

resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately

5

protect information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the

6

7 parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in preparation for

8 and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of the litigation,

9

and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is justified in

10

this matter. It is the intent of the parties that information will not be designated as

11

confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good

12

13 faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and

14 there is good cause why it should not be part of the public record of this case. This

15

also includes (1) any information copied or extracted from the Confidential

16

information; (2) copies, excerpts, summaries or compilations of Confidential

17

information; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or presentations that are

18

reasonably likely to reveal Confidential information.

19

20

16

copied or extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts,

17

summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony,

of the trial judge. This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at

23

trial.

24

1 V. DURATION

2

FINAL DISPOSITION of the action is defined as the conclusion of any

3

appellate proceedings, or, if no appeal is taken, when the time for filing of an

4

appeal has run. Except as set forth below, the terms of this protective order apply

5

through FINAL DISPOSITION of the action. The parties may stipulate that the

6

7 they will be contractually bound by the terms of this agreement beyond FINAL

8 DISPOSITION, but will have to file a separate action for enforcement of the

9

agreement once all proceedings in this case are complete.

10

Once a case proceeds to trial, information that was designated as

11

CONFIDENTIAL or maintained pursuant to this protective order used or

12

13 introduced as an exhibit at trial becomes public and will be presumptively

14 available to all members of the public, including the press, unless compelling

15

reasons supported by specific factual findings to proceed otherwise are made to

16

the trial judge in advance of the trial. See Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1180-81

17

(distinguishing “good cause” showing for sealing documents produced in

18

discovery from “compelling reasons” standard when merits-related documents are

19

20 part of court record). Accordingly, for such materials, the terms of this protective

21 order do not extend beyond the commencement of the trial.

22

VI. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

23

A. Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection

24

1 1. Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items

2

for protection under this Order must take care to limit any such

3

designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate

4

standards. The Designating Party must designate for protection only

5

those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written

6

7 communications that qualify so that other portions of the material,

8 documents, items, or communications for which protection is not

9

warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order.

10

2. Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited.

11

Designations that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have

12

13 been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber

14 the case development process or to impose unnecessary expenses and

15

burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating Party to

16

sanctions.

17

3. If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information

18

or items that it designated for protection do not qualify for protection,

19

20 that Designating Party must promptly notify all other Parties that it is

21 withdrawing the inapplicable designation.

22

B. Manner and Timing of Designations

23

24

1 1. Except as otherwise provided in this Order (see, e.g., Section

2

B(2)(b) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or

3

Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must

4

be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or produced.

5

2. Designation in conformity with this Order requires the

6

7 following:

8 a. For information in documentary form (e.g., paper or

9

electronic documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions

10

or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party

11

affix at a minimum, the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or

12

13 “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”

14 (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that

15

contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the

16

material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party

17

also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by

18

making appropriate markings in the margins).

19

20 b. A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents

21 available for inspection need not designate them for protection

22

until after the inspecting Party has indicated which documents

23

it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and

24

1 before the designation, all of the material made available for

2

inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL” or (not

3

“HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES

4

ONLY”). After the inspecting Party has identified the

5

documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party

6

7 must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify

8 for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the

9

specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the

10

“CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains

11

Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material

12

13 on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also

14 must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making

15

appropriate markings in the margins).

16

c. For testimony given in depositions, that the Designating

17

Party identify the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the

18

record, before the close of the deposition all protected

19

20 testimony. Any Party also may designate information disclosed

21 at a deposition as “CONFIDENTIAL” (or “HIGHLY

22

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”) by

23

notifying all Parties in writing, not later than 30 days after

24

1 receipt of the transcript, of the specific pages and lines of the

2

transcript that should be treated thereafter as

3

“CONFIDENTIAL.” All deposition transcripts shall be treated

4

as “CONFIDENTIAL” (not “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –

5

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”) for a period of 30 days after

6

7 initial receipt of the transcript.

8 d. For information produced in form other than document

9

and for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix

10

in a prominent place on the exterior of the container or

11

containers in which the information is stored the

12

13 “CONFIDENTIAL legend.” If only a portion or portions of

14 the information warrants protection, the Producing Party, to the

15

extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).

16

C. Inadvertent Failure to Designate

17

1. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to designate qualified

18

information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating

19

20 Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material.

21 Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must

22

make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in

23

accordance with the provisions of this Order.

24

1 VII. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

2

A. Timing of Challenges

3

1. Any party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of

4

confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s

5

Scheduling Order.

6

7 B. Meet and Confer

8 1. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution

9

process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq.

10

C. The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be

11

on the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an

12

13 improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and

14 burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions.

15

Unless the Designating Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality

16

designation, all parties shall continue to afford the material in question the

17

level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s

18

designation until the Court rules on the challenge.

19

20 VIII. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

21 A. Basic Principles

22

1. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed

23

or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with

24

1 this Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle

2

this Action. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to the

3

categories of persons and under the conditions described in this

4

Order. When the Action has been terminated, a Receiving Party must

5

comply with the provisions of Section XIV below.

6

7 2. Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a

8 Receiving Party at a location and in a secure manner that ensures that

9

access is limited to the persons authorized under this Order.

10

B. Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items

11

1. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court or permitted in writing

12

13 by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any

14 information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

15

a. The Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this

16

Action, as well as employees of said Outside Counsel of

17

Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the

18

information for this Action;

19

20 b. The officers, directors, and employees (including House

21 Counsel) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is

22

reasonably necessary for this Action;

23

24

1 c. Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party

2

to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and

3

who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be

4

Bound” (Exhibit A);

5

d. The Court and its personnel;

6

7 e. Court reporters and their staff;

8 f. Professional jury or trial consultants, and mock jurors to

9

whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and

10

who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to be

11

Bound” attached as Exhibit A hereto;

12

13 g. Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably

14 necessary for this Action, to whom disclosure is reasonably

15

necessary for this Action and who have signed the

16

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

17

h. The author or recipient of a document containing the

18

information or a custodian or other person who otherwise

19

20 possessed or knew the information;

21 i. During their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for

22

witnesses, in the Action to whom disclosure is reasonably

23

necessary provided: (i) the deposing party requests that the

24

1 witness sign the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be

2

Bound;” and (ii) they will not be permitted to keep any

3

confidential information unless they sign the

4

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound,” unless

5

otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the

6

7 Court. Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to

8 depositions that reveal Protected Material may be separately

9

bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to

10

anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective

11

Order; and

12

13 j. Any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting

14 personnel, mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged

15

in settlement discussions.

16

2. Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’

17

EYES ONLY” Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered by the court or

18

permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any

19

20 information or item designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’

21 EYES ONLY” only to the persons listed in Paragraphs 1(a), (c), (d), (e), (f), (g),

22

(h), and (i) above and House Counsel of the Receiving Party.

23

24

1 IX. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED

2

PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION

3

A. If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other

4

litigation that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in

5

this Action as “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:

6

7 1. Promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such

8 notification shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order;

9

2. Promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena

10

or order to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material

11

covered by the subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order.

12

13 Such notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated Protective

14 Order; and

15

3. Cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to

16

be pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may

17

be affected.

18

B. If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party

19

20 served with the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information

21 designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by

22

the Court from which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has

23

obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party shall

24

1 bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court of its

2

confidential material and nothing in these provisions should be construed as

3

authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action to disobey a

4

lawful directive from another court.

5

X. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE

6

7 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION

8 A. The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a

9

Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such

10

information produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is

11

protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in

12

13 these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from

14 seeking additional protections.

15

B. In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to

16

produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the

17

Party is subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-

18

Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall:

19

20 1. Promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-

21 Party that some or all of the information requested is subject to a

22

confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party;

23

24

1 2. Promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated

2

Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and

3

a reasonably specific description of the information requested; and

4

3. Make the information requested available for inspection by the

5

Non-Party, if requested.

6

7 C. If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within

8 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the

9

Receiving Party may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information

10

responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a

11

protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in

12

13 its possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with

14 the Non-Party before a determination by the court. Absent a court order to

15

the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking

16

protection in this court of its Protected Material.

17

XI. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

18

A. If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has

19

20 disclosed Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not

21 authorized under this Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must

22

immediately (1) notify in writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized

23

disclosures, (2) use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the

24

1 Protected Material, (3) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized

2

disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, and (4) request such

3

person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to be

4

Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

5

XII. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR

6

7 OTHERWISE PROTECTED MATERIAL

8 A. When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain

9

inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other

10

protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in

11

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended

12

13 to modify whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order

14 that provides for production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to

15

Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e) the inadvertent disclosure or

16

production of documents protected by the attorney-client privilege or work-

17

product protection will not constitute a waiver of the privilege or protection

18

by the disclosing Party in either the litigation pending before the Court, or

19

20 any other federal or state proceeding.

21 XIII. MISCELLANEOUS

22

A. Right to Further Relief

23

24

1 1. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person to seek

2

its modification by the Court in the future.

3

B. Right to Assert Other Objections

4

1. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective Order, no Party

5

waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or

6

7 producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in

8 this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right

9

to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material

10

covered by this Protective Order.

11

C. Filing Protected Material

12

13 1. A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected Material

14 must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may

15

only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the

16

sealing of the specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request

17

to file Protected Material under seal is denied by the Court, then the

18

Receiving Party may file the information in the public record unless

19

20 otherwise instructed by the Court.

21 XIV. FINAL DISPOSITION

22

A. After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in Section V,

23

within sixty (60) days of a written request by the Designating Party, each

24

1 Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or

2

destroy such material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material”

3

includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any other

4

format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether the

5

Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must

6

7 submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same

8 person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1)

9

identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that

10

was returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not

11

retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format

12

13 reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding

14 this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all

15

pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal

16

memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports,

17

attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if

18

such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that

19

20 contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective

21 Order as set forth in Section V.

22

23

24

1 B. violation of this Order may be punished by any and all

appropriate measures including, without limitation, contempt proceedings

3 .
