1 1. A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

2 Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential,

3 proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public

4 disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be

5 warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter

6 the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order

7 does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and

8 that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the

9 limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the

10 applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section

11 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file

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

13 that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks

14 permission from the Court to file material under seal.

15 B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT

16 This action will involve the exchange of confidential JUVENILE CASE FILES

17 of minor children, for which counsel for the parties obtained orders from the

18 California Juvenile Court seeking release of the JUVENILE CASE FILE. The

19 Juvenile Court issued several orders releasing JUVENILE CASE FILE records to the

20 parties and counsel for use in this matter. The JUVENILE CASE FILE records and

21 information that were ordered released to each party are relevant to this litigation and

22 should be exchanged between counsel for the parties.

23 This action will also involve the exchange of private, sensitive, and personal

24 information and records involving minor children that the Juvenile Court determined

25 are not part of the JUVENILE CASE FILE within the meaning of Cal. Welf. & Inst.

26 Code, §827 – i.e., (1) communications, emails, and/or text messages that were not

27 actually preserved and maintained in the social services practitioner's file or were

1 documented in a court report, (2) Foster Family Agency (FFA) records and

2 DOCUMENTS that are in the possession of and/or maintained by that FFA, and (3)

3 other third party records that are not actually preserved and maintained in the social

4 services practitioner's file or were documented in a court report. While these

5 DOCUMENTS are not part of the JUVENILE CASE FILE within the meaning of

6 Cal. Welf. & Inst. Code, §827, they may contain references to information and/or

7 names contained in the JUVENILE CASE FILE.

8 This Court can order the disclosure and exchange of these Juvenile Case File

9 records and/or other material specified in this Good Cause Statement. Estate of

10 Maldonado v. Sec’y of the Cal. Dep’t of Corr. & Rehab., 2007 U.S. Dist. LEXIS

11 91084, at *13-17 (E.D. Cal. Nov. 30, 2007); Doe No. 59 v. Santa Rose City Sch.,

12 2017 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 29126, at *3-5 (N.D. Cal. Mar. 1, 2017).

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

14 resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

8 imposed by this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees

9 otherwise in writing or a court order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be

10 deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in this Action, with

12 exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this Action,

13 including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time

14 pursuant to applicable law.

15 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

16 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection.

17 Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this

18 Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies

19 under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for protection

20 only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written communications that

21 qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, items, or communications

22 for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of

23 this Order.

24 Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations

25 that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper

26 purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose

27

1 unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating

2 Party to sanctions.

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

4 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must

5 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation.

6 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in

7 this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise

8 stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection

9 under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or

10 produced.

11 Designation in conformity with this Order requires the following:

12 (a) For information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic

13 documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial

14 proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend

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

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

17 qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected

18 portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins).

19 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection

20 need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated

21 which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and

22 before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be

23 deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents

24 it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents,

25 or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing

26 the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL

27 legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of

1 the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly

2 identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the

3 margins).

4 (b) For testimony given in depositions, that the Designating Party

5 identify the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the

6 deposition all protected testimony.

7 (c) For information produced in form other than document and for

8 any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the

9 exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the legend

10 “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information warrants

11 protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected

12 portion(s).

13 5.3 Inadvertent Failure to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent

14 failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the

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

16 Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable

17 efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this

18 Order.

19 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS

20 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any party or Non-Party may challenge a

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

22 Scheduling Order.

23 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute

24 resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq.

25 6.3 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on

26 the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose

27 (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may

1 expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived

2 or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to afford the

3 material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing

4 Party’s designation until the Court rules on the challenge.

5 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

6 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is

7 disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this

8 Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such

9 Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the

10 conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a

11 Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of Section 13 below (FINAL

12 DISPOSITION).

13 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a

14 location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons

15 authorized under this Order.

16 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless

17 otherwise ordered by the Court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a

18 Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated

19 “CONFIDENTIAL” only to:

20 (a) The Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action,

21 as well as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably

22 necessary to disclose the information for this Action;

23 (b) The officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel)

24 of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action;

25 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom

26 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the

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

1 (d) The Court and its personnel;

2 (e) Court reporters and their staff;

3 (f) Professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and

4 Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary or this Action and

5 who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to be Bound” attached as

6 Exhibit A hereto;

7 (g) The author or recipient of a document containing the information

8 or a custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information;

9 (h) During their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in

10 the Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (i) the deposing

11 party requests that the witness sign the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be

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

13 unless they sign the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound,” unless

14 otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the Court. Pages of

15 transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected

16 Material may be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to

17 anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and

18 (i) Any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting

19 personnel, mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement

20 discussions.

21 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN

22 OTHER LITIGATION

23 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation

24 that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as

25 “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must:

26 (a) Promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such

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

1 (b) Promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or

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

3 subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include

4 a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and

5 (c) Cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be

6 pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected.

7 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with

8 the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this

9 action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the Court from which the

10 subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s

11 permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking

12 protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions

13 should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action to

14 disobey a lawful directive from another court.

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

16 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION

17 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a

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

19 produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the

20 remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be

21 construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections.

22 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to

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

24 subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s

25 confidential information, then the Party shall:

26

27

1 (1) Promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non Party

2 that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement

3 with a Non-Party;

4 (2) Promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated

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

6 specific description of the information requested; and

7 (3) Make the information requested available for inspection by the

8 Non-Party, if requested.

9 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within 14

10 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may

11 produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request.

12 If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not

13 produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the

14 confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court.

15 Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense

16 of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material.

17 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

18 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed

19 Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this

20 Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (1) notify in

21 writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (2) use its best efforts

22 to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (3) inform the person or

23 persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order,

24 and (4) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and

25 Agreement to be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

26 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE

27 PROTECTED MATERIAL

1 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain

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

3 the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil

4 Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure

5 may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior

6 privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the

7 parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or

8 information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the

9 parties may incorporate their agreement in the Stipulated Protective Order submitted

10 to the Court.

11 12. MISCELLANEOUS

12 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any

13 person to seek its modification by the Court in the future.

14 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this

15 Protective Order, no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to

16 disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this

17 Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any

18 ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order.

19 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any

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

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

22 specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected Material

23 under seal is denied by the Court, then the Receiving Party may file the information

24 in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the Court.

25 13. FINAL DISPOSITION

26 After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in Section 4, within sixty

27 (60) days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must

1 return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used

2 in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts,

3 compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the

4 Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the

5 Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not

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

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

8 returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any

9 copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or

10 capturing any of the Protected Material.

11 Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy

12 of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal

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

14 work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials contain

15 Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected

16 Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4

17 (DURATION).

18 Further, Plaintiffs may retain any CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL, such as their

19 client’s juvenile case file records and/or medical records that he or she would

20 otherwise be legally entitled to retain. Finally, attorney work product that contains

21 CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL need not be destroyed, but, if it is not destroyed, the

22 person in possession of the attorney work product will continue to be bound by this

23 Order with respect to all such retained MATERIAL, after the conclusion of this

24 litigation.

25 This Order may be modified by agreement of the parties, subject to approval by

26 the Court.

27

1114. Any violation of this Order may be punished by any and all appropriate

2 || measures including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary

3 || sanctions.
