GWEN H., an individual, Case No. 2:22-cv-09241 AB (MAAx)
10 Plaintiff,

11 v. STIPULATED PROTECTIVE
ORDER1
12
GEORGE FOREMAN; and DOES 2
13 through 50,
Defendants.

1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
17
Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential,
18
proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public
19
disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be
20
warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter
21
the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this
22
Stipulated Protective Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or
23
responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and
24
use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential
25
treatment under the applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as
26

27
1 This Stipulated Protective Order is substantially based on the model protective
1 set forth in Section 13.3 below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle
2 them to file confidential information under seal; Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the
3 procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party
4 seeks permission from the Court to file material under seal.
5 2. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT
6 Given the nature of the claims alleged herein, Gwen H., George Foreman, and
7 Does 2 through 50 (referred to individually as a “Party” or collectively as the
8 “Parties”) anticipate that this action is likely to involve highly private and personal
9 information. Such confidential and proprietary materials and information consist of,
10 among other things, confidential personal information, including medical
11 information, sexual information, drug usage information, health information, mental
12 health information, and potentially private financial information (including
13 information implicating privacy rights of third parties), information otherwise
14 generally unavailable to the public, or which may be privileged or otherwise
15 protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case decisions,
16 or common law. Accordingly, to protect the Parties’ privacy, to expedite the flow of
17 information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of
18 discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties are entitled to keep
19 confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of
20 such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling
21 at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such
22 information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that information
23 will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so
24 designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential,
25 non-public manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part of the public
26 record of this case.
27

17 4. SCOPE
18 The protections conferred by this Stipulated Protective Order cover not only

20 Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected Material;
21 and (3) any testimony, conversations, or presentations by Parties or their Counsel
22 that might reveal Protected Material.
23 Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the
24 trial judge. This Stipulated Protective Order does not govern the use of Protected
25 Material at trial.
26 5. DURATION
27
FINAL DISPOSITION of the action is defined as the conclusion of any
1 appellate proceedings, or, if no appeal is taken, when the time for filing of an appeal
2 has run. Except as set forth below, the terms of this Stipulated Protective Order apply
3 through FINAL DISPOSITION of the action. The parties may stipulate that they
4 will be contractually bound by the terms of this agreement beyond FINAL
5 DISPOSITION, but will have to file a separate action for enforcement of the
6 agreement once all proceedings in this case are complete.
7 Once a case proceeds to trial, information that was designated as
8 CONFIDENTIAL or HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY
9 or maintained pursuant to this Stipulated Protective Order used or introduced as an
10 exhibit at trial becomes public and will be presumptively available to all members of
11 the public, including the press, unless compelling reasons supported by specific
12 factual findings to proceed otherwise are made to the trial judge in advance of the
13 trial. See Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1180-81 (distinguishing “good cause” showing for
14 sealing documents produced in discovery from “compelling reasons” standard when
15 merits-related documents are part of court record). Accordingly, for such materials,
16 the terms of this Stipulated Protective Order do not extend beyond the
17 commencement of the trial.
18 6. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL
19 6.1. Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.
20 Each Party or Nonparty that designates information or items for
21 protection under this Stipulated Protective Order must take care to limit
22 any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the
23 appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for
24 protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or
25 written communications that qualify so that other portions of the
26 material, documents, items, or communications for which protection is
27 not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this
1 Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited.
2 Designations that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been
3 made for an improper purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case
4 development process or to impose unnecessary expenses and burdens
5 on other parties) may expose the Designating Party to sanctions.
6 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or
7 items that it designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that
8 Designating Party must promptly notify all other Parties that it is
9 withdrawing the inapplicable designation.
10 6.2. Manner and Timing of Designations.
11 Except as otherwise provided in this Stipulated Protective Order
12 (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 6.2(a) below), or as otherwise
13 stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies
14 for protection under this Stipulated Protective Order must be clearly so
15 designated before the material is disclosed or produced.
16 Designation in conformity with this Stipulated Protective Order
17 requires the following:
18 (a) For information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic
19 documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other
20 pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a
21 minimum, the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter
22 “CONFIDENTIAL legend”) or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –
23 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” (hereinafter “HIGHLY
24 CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that contains protected
25 material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page
26 qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly
27 identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate
1 A Party or Nonparty that makes original documents
2 available for inspection need not designate them for protection
3 until after the inspecting Party has indicated which documents it
4 would like copied and produced. During the inspection and
5 before the designation, all of the material made available for
6 inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the
7 inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and
8 produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents,
9 or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Stipulated
10 Protective Order. Then, before producing the specified
11 documents, the Producing Party must affix the
12 “CONFIDENTIAL legend” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL
13 legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a
14 portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for
15 protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the
16 protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the
17 margins).
18 (b) For testimony given in depositions, the Designating Party shall
19 clearly state during the deposition and on the record that he or
20 she is designating a portion of the deposition testimony
21 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL–
22 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” and ask the Court reporter to
23 mark specific pages of the deposition accordingly. Although a
24 Designating Party may designate portions of a deposition
25 transcript “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL–
26 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” after a deposition has concluded,
27 any public disclosure of the deposition testimony before the
1 Protective Order. If a Designating Party designates any portion
2 of a deposition transcript “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY
3 CONFIDENTIAL– ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” after receipt
4 of the final deposition transcript, they shall identify any Protected
5 Material contained in the deposition transcript, exhibits, or
6 recording and notify the other Party or Parties in writing of such
7 designations. The writing should identify the Protected Material
8 by page, line, and/or paragraph number where applicable.
9 (c) For information produced in some form other than documentary
10 and for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in
11 a prominent place on the exterior of the container or containers
12 in which the information is stored the legend
13 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL –
14 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” If only a portion or portions of
15 the information warrants protection, the Producing Party, to the
16 extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s).
17 6.3. Inadvertent Failure to Designate.
18 If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to designate qualified
19 information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating
20 Party’s right to secure protection under this Stipulated Protective Order
21 for such material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the
22 Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material
23 is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Stipulated Protective
24 Order. However, any public disclosure of qualified information prior
25 to a designation of “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY
26 CONFIDENTIAL– ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” shall not be deemed
27 a violation of this Stipulated Protective Order.
1 7.1. Timing of Challenges.
2 Any Party or Nonparty may challenge a designation of
3 confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s Scheduling
4 Order.
5 7.2. Meet and Confer.
6 The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution
7 process, which shall comply with Local Rule 37.1 et seq., and with
8 Section 4 of Judge Audero’s Procedures (“Mandatory Telephonic
9 Conference for Discovery Disputes”).2
10 7.3. Burden of Persuasion
11 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall
12 be on the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for
13 an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses
14 and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to
15 sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived or withdrawn the
16 confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to afford the
17 material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under
18 the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the
19 challenge.
20

21 8. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL
22 8.1. Basic Principles.
23

18 9. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED
19 PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION
20 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation
21 that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as
22 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES
23 ONLY,” that Party must:
24
(a) Promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification
25
shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order;
26
(b) Promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order
27
to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered
1 by the subpoena or order is subject to this Stipulated Protective Order.
2 Such notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated Protective
3 Order; and
4 (c) Cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be
5 pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be
6 affected.
7 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served
8 with the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this
9 action as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’
10 EYES ONLY” before a determination by the court from which the subpoena or order
11 issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The
12 Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that
13 court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions should be construed
14 as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action to disobey a lawful
15 directive from another court.
16
17 10. A NONPARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE
18 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION
19 10.1. Application.
20 The terms of this Stipulated Protective Order are applicable to
21 information produced by a Nonparty in this Action and designated as
22 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’
23 EYES ONLY.” Such information produced by Non-Parties in
24 connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief
25 provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be
26 construed as prohibiting a Nonparty from seeking additional
27 protections.
1 In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request,
2 to produce a Nonparty’s confidential information in its possession, and
3 the Party is subject to an agreement with the Nonparty not to produce
4 the Nonparty’s confidential information, then the Party shall:
5 (a) Promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Nonparty
6 that some or all of the information requested is subject to a
7 confidentiality agreement with a Nonparty;
8 (b) Promptly provide the Nonparty with a copy of the Stipulated
9 Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s),
10 and a reasonably specific description of the information
11 requested; and
12 (c) Make the information requested available for inspection by the
13 Nonparty, if requested.
14 10.3. Conditions of Production.
15 If the Nonparty fails to seek a protective order from this Court
16 within fourteen (14) days of receiving the notice and accompanying
17 information, the Receiving Party may produce the Nonparty’s
18 confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the
19 Nonparty timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not
20 produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to
21 the confidentiality agreement with the Nonparty before a determination
22 by the Court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Nonparty shall
23 bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in this Court of its
24 Protected Material.
25 11. 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
1 writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (2) use its best efforts
2 to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (3) inform the person
3 or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this
4 Stipulated Protective Order, and (4) request such person or persons to execute the
5 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit
6 A.
7 12. 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
18 to the court.
19 13. MISCELLANEOUS
20 13.1. Right to Further Relief.
21 Nothing in this Stipulated Protective Order abridges the right of
22 any person to seek its modification by the Court in the future.
23 13.2. Right to Assert Other Objections.
24 By stipulating to the entry of this Stipulated Protective Order, no
25 Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing
26 or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in
27 this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right
1 to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material
2 covered by this Stipulated Protective Order.
3 13.3. Filing Protected Material
4 A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected Material must
5 comply with Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may only be filed
6 under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the
7 specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file
8 Protected Material under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving
9 Party may file the information in the public record unless otherwise
10 instructed by the Court.
11 14. FINAL DISPOSITION
12 After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in Section 5, within sixty
13 (60) days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must
14 return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As
15 used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts,
16 compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the
17 Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the
18 Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if
19 not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60-day deadline that
20 (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was
21 returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any
22 copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or
23 capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel
24 are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial,
25 deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition
26 and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert
27 work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival
