1 || it affords from public disclosure and use to the limited information or items that are 2 □□ entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. The parties 3 || further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective || Order does not entitle them to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local 5 || Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and the standards that will 6 || be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file material under seal. 7 B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT 9 1.1. Contentions re Harm from Disclosure of Confidential Materials. ”n 10 Defendants contend that there is good cause and a particularized need for a 2 11 || protective order to preserve the interests of confidentiality and privacy in peace 12 || officer personnel file records and associated investigative or confidential records for 13 || the following reasons. S$ 14 First, Defendants contend that peace officers have a federal privilege of 15 || privacy in their personnel file records: a reasonable expectation of privacy therein 16 || that is underscored, specified, and arguably heightened by the Pitchess protective 17 || procedure of California law. See Sanchez v. Santa Ana Police Dept., 936 F.2d 1027, 18 || 1033-1034 (9th Cir. 1990); Hallon v. City of Stockton, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 19 || 14665, *2-3, 12-13 (E.D. Cal. 2012) (concluding that “while “[f]ederal law applies 20 || to privilege based discovery disputes involving federal claims,” the “state privilege 21 || law which is consistent with its federal equivalent significantly assists in applying 22 || [federal] privilege law to discovery disputes”’);Soto v. City of Concord, 162 F.R.D. 23 || 603, 613 n. 4, 616 (N.D. Cal. 1995) (peace officers have constitutionally-based 24 || “privacy rights [that] are not inconsequential” in their police personnel records); cf- 25 || Cal. Penal Code §§ 832.7, 832.8; Cal. Evid. Code §§ 1040-1047. Defendants 26 || further contend that uncontrolled disclosure of such personnel file information can 27 || threaten the safety of non-party witnesses, officers, and their 28 || families/associates.
1 Second, Defendants contend that municipalities and law enforcement 2 || agencies have federal deliberative-executive process privilege, federal official 3 || information privilege, federal law enforcement privilege, and federal attorney-client 4 || privilege (and/or attorney work product protection) interests in the personnel files of 5 || their peace officers — particularly as to those portions of peace officer personnel files 6 || that contain critical self-analysis, internal deliberation/decision-making or 7 || evaluation/analysis, or communications for the purposes of obtaining or rendering 8 || legal advice or analysis — potentially including but not limited to 9 || evaluative/analytical portions of Internal Affairs type records or reports, ”n 10 || evaluative/analytical portions of supervisory records or reports, and/or reports 2 11 || prepared at the direction of counsel, or for the purpose of obtaining or rendering = 12 || legal advice. See Sanchez, 936 F.2d at 1033-1034; Maricopa Audubon Soc’y v. 13 || United States Forest Serv., 108 F.3d 1089, 1092-1095 (9th Cir. 1997); Soto, 162 F.R.D. at 613, 613 n. 4; Kelly v. City of San Jose, 114 F.R.D. 654, 668-671 (N.D. = 15 || Cal. 1987); Tuite v. Henry, 181 F.R.D. 175, 176-177 (D. D.C. 1998); Hamstreet v. 16 || Duncan, 2007 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 89702 (D. Or. 2007); Admiral Ins. Co. v. United 17 || States Dist. Ct., 881 F.2d 1486, 1492, 1495 (9th Cir. 1988). Defendants further 18 || contend that such personnel file records are restricted from disclosure by the public 19 || entity’s custodian of records pursuant to applicable California law and that 20 |) uncontrolled release is likely to result in needless intrusion of officer privacy; 21 |)impairment in the collection of third-party witness information and statements and 22 || related legitimate law enforcement investigations/interests; and a chilling of open 23 |)and honest discussion regarding and/or investigation into alleged misconduct that 24 |) can erode a public entity’s ability to identify and/or implement any remedial 25 || measures that may be required. 26 Third, Defendants contend that, since peace officers do not have the same 27 || rights as other private citizens to avoid giving compelled statements, it is contrary to 28 || the fundamental principles of fairness to permit uncontrolled release of officers’
1 || compelled statements. See generally Lybarger v. City of Los Angeles, 40 Cal.3d 2 || 822, 828-830 (1985); cf. U.S. Const., amend V. 3 Accordingly, Defendants contend that, without a protective order preventing 4 || such, production of confidential records in the case can and will likely substantially 5 || impair and harm defendant public entity’s interests in candid self-critical analysis, 6 || frank internal deliberations, obtaining candid information from witnesses, 7 || preserving the safety of witnesses, preserving the safety of peace officers and peace 8 || officers’ families and associates, protecting the privacy officers of peace officers, 9 || and preventing pending investigations from being detrimentally undermined by ”n 10 || publication of private, sensitive, or confidential information — as can and often does 2 11 |} result in litigation. 12 1.2. The Parties agree that there is Good Cause for a Protective Order so as 13 || to preserve the respective interests of the parties without the need to further burden 14 || the Court with such issues. Specifically, the parties jointly contend that, absent this 15 || Stipulation and its associated Protective Order, the parties' respective privilege 16 || interests may be impaired or harmed, and that this Stipulation and its associated 17 || Protective Order may avoid such harm by permitting the parties to facilitate 18 || discovery with reduced risk that privileged and/or sensitive/confidential information 19 || will become matters of public record. 20 1.3. The parties jointly contend that there is typically a particularized need 21 || for protection as to any medical or psychotherapeutic records and autopsy 22 || photographs, because of the privacy interests at stake therein. Because of these 23 || sensitive interests, a Court Order should address these documents rather than a 24 || private agreement between the parties. 25 1.4. The parties therefore stipulate that there is Good Cause for, and hereby 26 || jointly request that the honorable Court issue/enter, a Protective Order re confidential 27 || documents consistent with the terms and provisions of this Stipulation. However, the 28 ||/entry of a Protective Order by the Court pursuant to this Stipulation shall not be
1 || construed as any ruling by the Court on the aforementioned legal statements or 2 || privilege claims in this section (§ 1), nor shall this section be construed as part of any 3 |} such Court Order. 4 Accordingly, to expedite the flow of 5 || information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of 6 || discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties are entitled to keep 7 ||confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of 8 || such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling 9 || at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such ”n 10 || information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that information 2 11 || will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so = 12 || designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, 13 || non-public manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part of the public 2 14 || record of this case. = 15 2.

This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial. 20 4. DURATION 9 Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations 73 imposed by this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court order otherwise directs.

Any protection sought for documents that are presented at trial shall be governed by order of the Judge presiding over the trial.

where the Court denies the request to file under seal), this Protective Order shall no
longer apply to the portions which became part of the public record at trial with the

10 13: Final Disposition.
2 1] Should any portion of the Protected Material remain confidential until trial, < 12 || during any portion of the trial of this action which could entail the discussion or 13 || disclosure of Confidential Information, that Designating Party may request the 2 14 || opportunity to show compelling reasons to the Court as to why access to the = 15 || courtroom should be limited to parties, their counsel and other designated 16 || representative, experts or consultants who agreed to be bound by this 17 || stipulation/protective order, and court personnel. See Kamakana y. City and County 18 || of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1180-81 (9th Cir. 2006) (distinguishing “good cause” 19 || showing for sealing documents produced in discovery from “compelling reasons” 20 || standard when merits-related documents are part of court record). 21 For all portions of the Protected Material after final disposition of the Trial, 22 || the confidentiality obligations by this Order shall remain in full effect. Final 23 || disposition shall be deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses 24 in this Action, with or without prejudice; (2) In any event wherein all remaining 25 || claims in this matter are remanded to State Court or severed from the Federal matter 26 □□ □□□ returned to State Court; and/or (3) final judgment herein after the completion 27 ||and exhaustion of all appeals, re-hearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this Action, 28 || including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time
1 || pursuant to applicable law. 2 31/5. DESIGNATING PROTECTIVE MATERIAL 4 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. 5 || Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under 6 || this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that 7 || qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for 8 || protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written. 9 || communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, ”n 10 || items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept 2 11 |} unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order. 12 13 Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations S$ 14 || that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper 15 || purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose 16 || unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating 17 || Party to sanctions. 18 19 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it 20 || designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must 21 || promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation. 22 23 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. 24 Except as otherwise provided in this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of 25 |) section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery 26 || Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so designated 27 || before the material is disclosed or produced. Designation in conformity with this 28 || Order requires:(a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic
1 ||documents, but excluding transcripts of | depositions or other pretrial 2 || or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend“ 3 || CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that 4 || contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page 5 || qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected 6 || portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). 7 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection 8 || need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated 9 || which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and ”n 10 || before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be 2 11 || deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified 12 || the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine 13 || which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, 14|| before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must 15 || affix the“ CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. 16 || If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the 17 || Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making 18 || appropriate markings in the margins).(b) for testimony given in depositions that the 19 || Designating Party identify the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, 20 || before the close of the deposition all protected testimony.(c) for information 21 || produced in some form other than documentary and for any other tangible items, 22 || that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the container 23 || or containers in which the information is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If 24 || only a portion or portions of the information warrants protection, the Producing 25 || Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s). 26 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent 27 || failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive 28 || the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material.
1 || Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable 2 || efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this 3 || Order. 4 5 ||}6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 6 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a 7 || designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s 8 || Scheduling Order. 9 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the informal dispute ”n 10 || resolution process set forth in the Court's Procedures and Schedules. see 2 11 || http://www.cacd.uscourts.gov/honorable-alka-sagar = 12 6.3 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the 13 || Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose S$ 14 || (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may 15 || expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived 16 || or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to afford the 17 || material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the 18 || Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the 19 || challenge. 20 ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 21 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is 22 || disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this 23 || Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such 24 || Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the 25 || conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a 26 || Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13below (FINAL 27 || DISPOSITION).Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving 28 || Party at a location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the
1 || persons authorized under this Order. 2 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise 3 || ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving 4 || Party may disclose any information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to: 5 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well as 6 || employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to 7 || disclose the information for this Action; 8 (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the 9 || Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action; ”n 10 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom 2 11 || disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the 12 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 13 (d) the court and its personnel; S$ 14 (e) court reporters and their staff; 15 (f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional 16 || Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have 17 || signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 18 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a 19 || custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information; 20 (h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the 21 |) Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing party 22 ||requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit A hereto; and (2) they 23 || will not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the 24 ||"Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise 25 ||agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed 26 || deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material maybe 27 || separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except 28 || as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and
1 (i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, 2 || mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions. 3 4 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED 5 || IN OTHER LITIGATION 6 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation 7 || that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as 8 || “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must: 9 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall ”n 10 || include a copy of the subpoena or court order; 2 11 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to 12 issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena 13 || or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of Ss 14 || this Stipulated Protective Order; and 15 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued 16 || by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. Ifthe 17 || Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the 18 || subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action 19 ||as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the 20 || subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s 21 || permission. 22 The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking 23 || protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions 24 || should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action 25 || to disobey a lawful directive from another court. 26 9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE 27 || PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION 28 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-
1 || Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information 2 || produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the 3 || remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be 4 || construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections. 5 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to 6 || produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is 7 || subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s 8 || confidential information, then the Party shall: 9 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that ”n 10 || some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement 2 11 || with a Non-Party; 12 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective 13 || Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific Ss 14 || description of the information requested; and 15 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party, 16 || if requested. 17 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within 14 18 || days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party 19 || may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery 20 || request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall 21 || not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the 22 || confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court. 23 || Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and 24 || expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material. 25 26|}10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 27 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed 28 || Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this
1 || Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in 2 || writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts 3 || to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or 4 || persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, 5 || and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and 6 || Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 7 8jf1l. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR 9 OTHER WISE PROTECTED MATERIAL ”n 10 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain 2 11 || inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, = 12 || the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil 13 || Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure S$ 14 || may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without 15 || prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar 16 || as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or 17 || information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the 18 || parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted 19 || to the court. 20 12. MISCELLANEOUS 21 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any 22 || person to seek its modification by the Court in the future. 23 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this 24 || Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to 25 || disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this 26 || Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any 27 || ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order. 28 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any
1 || Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may 2 || only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the 3 || specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected Material 4 || under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information 5 ||in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court. 6 13. FINAL DISPOSITION 7 After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 8 || 6O0days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must 9 || return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As ”n 10 || used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, 2 11 || compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the 12 || Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the 13 || Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if 14 || not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that 15 || (1) identifies(by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was 16 || returned or destroyed and (2)affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any 17 || copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or 18 || capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are 19 || entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, 20 || and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial 21 |)exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work 22 || product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival 23 ||copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this 24 || Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION). 25 14. Any violation of this Order may be punished by any and all appropriate 26 || measures including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary 27 || sanctions. 28 || ///
