Opinion

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 10 11 MATTHEW HUGGINS, Case No. 1:21-cv-01526-DAD-BAK 12 Plaintiff, ORDER GRANTING, IN PART, STIPULATION FOR ENTRY OF 13 v. PROTECTIVE ORDER 14 AMAZON.COM SERVICES, LLC, et al., (ECF No. 41). 15 Defendants. 16 17 18 19 On August 18, 2022, Plaintiff Matthew Huggins and Defendants Amazon.com Services, 20 LLC and Amazon.com, Inc. filed a stipulation for entry of protective order. (ECF No. 41). 21 Because most of the provisions are acceptable, the stipulation will be granted, in part. 22 However, the Court will modify the proposed protective order to comply with Local Rule 23 (LR) 141.1(c)(1). Specifically, LR 141.1(c)(1) requires that every proposed protective order 24 contain “[a] description of the types of information eligible for protection under the order, with 25 the description provided in general terms sufficient to reveal the nature of the information (e.g., 26 customer list, formula for soda, diary of a troubled child).” Here, the parties have included 27 descriptions that, in general terms, satisfy LR 141.1(c)(1). For example, the parties state that the 28 1 | types of information eligible for protection include “Plaintiff's medical records; Plaintiff's 2 || personnel records containing information which is private pursuant to Article 1 Section 1 of the 3 | California Constitution; communications and documents related to Plaintiffs termination and his 4 | termination appeal.” (ECF No. 41, p. 4). 5 However, the parties also stipulate to a definition of “Confidential Information or Items” 6 | as “information (regardless of how it is generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that 7 || are in the possession of a Designating Party who believes in good faith that such information is g | entitled to confidential treatment under applicable law.” (ECF No. 41, p. 3). Further, the parties g | State that information eligible for protection includes “any related information which is in the 10 possession of a Designating Party who believes in good faith that such information is entitled to i confidential treatment under applicable law.” (ECF No. 41, p. 4). These sections of the parties’ D agreement, which provide for a category of eligible information under the protective order as based upon a Designating Party’s good faith belief that such information is entitled to confidential 13 treatment under applicable law, will be stricken because they allow the parties to deem additional 14 information as confidential under the protective order without them having provided a general 15 description of such information as required by LR 141.1(c)(1). 1 6 Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the parties’ stipulation for entry of protective order M7 (ECF No. 41) is granted, in part, to the extent that the Court approves the agreement as modified 18 below. 19 | IT IS SO ORDERED. 20 . .

1 1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS 2 Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of 3 confidential, 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 warranted. Accordingly, Defendants Amazon.com Services LLC1 and Amazon.com, Inc. (collectively 5 “Amazon” or “Defendant”) and Plaintiff Matthew Huggins (“Plaintiff”) (collectively, “the 6 parties”), by and through their counsel of record, hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter 7 the following Stipulated Protective Order. 8 As detailed in Paragraph 3, this Protective Order will provide protection for materials in 9 which the Plaintiff or third parties have a legally cognizable privacy interest, such as medical 10 records, employees’ personnel records, and documents reflecting disciplinary action taken 11 towards employees. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections 12 on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from public 13 disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or items that are in the possession of a 14 designating party who believes in good faith that such information is entitled to confidential 15 treatment under applicable law. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, 16 below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information 17 under seal; Civil Local Rule 141 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and the standards 18 that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file material under seal. 19 2. DEFINITIONS 20 2.1 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the designation of 21 information or items under this Order. 22 2.2 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information (regardless of how it is 23 generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that are in the possession of a Designating Party who believes in good faith that such information is entitled to confidential treatment under 24 applicable law. 25 2.3 Counsel (without qualifier): Outside Counsel of Record and House Counsel (as 26 well as their support staff). 2.4 Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates 27 information or items that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as 28 1 “CONFIDENTIAL.” 2 2.5 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless of the 3 medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, among other things, 4 testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced or generated in disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter. 5 2.6 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter pertinent to 6 the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as an expert witness or as a 7 consultant in this action. 8 2.7 House Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a party to this action. House 9 Counsel does not include Outside Counsel of Record or any other outside counsel. 10 2.8 Non-Party: any natural person, partnership, corporation, association, or other legal 11 entity not named as a Party to this action. 12 2.9 Outside Counsel of Record: attorneys who are not employees of a party to this 13 action but are retained to represent or advise a party to this action and have appeared in this action 14 on behalf of that party or are affiliated with a law firm which has appeared on behalf of that party. 15 2.10 Party: any party to this action, including all of its officers, directors, employees, 16 consultants, retained experts and investigators, and Outside Counsel of Record (and their support 17 staffs). 18 2.11 Producing Party: a Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or Discovery 19 Material in this action. 20 2.12 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation support services 21 (e.g., photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or demonstrations, and 22 organizing, storing, or retrieving data in any form or medium) and their employees and 23 subcontractors. 2.13 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is designated as 24 “CONFIDENTIAL.” 25 2.14 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material from a 26 Producing Party. 27 /// 28 1 3. SCOPE 2 The types of information eligible for protection under this Stipulation and Order include 3 the following: Plaintiff’s medical records; Plaintiff’s personnel records containing information 4 which is private pursuant to Article 1 Section 1 of the California Constitution; communications and documents related to Plaintiff’s termination and his termination appeal; and any related 5 information which is in the possession of a Designating Party who believes in good faith that such 6 information is entitled to confidential treatment under applicable law. Courts have routinely 7 recognized a legally cognizable privacy interest in records of this nature. See e.g., Doe v. A. J. 8 Boggs & Co., No. 118CV01464AWIBAM, 2019 WL 1517567, at *6 (E.D. Cal. Apr. 8, 2019) 9 (citing Pettus v. Cole, 49 Cal. App. 4th 402, 440 (1996)) (ordering discovery of Plaintiffs’ 10 medical information as subject to protective order because “California law recognizes a 11 constitutional right to privacy in an individual’s medical history”); Buchanan v. Santos, No. 1:08- 12 CV-01174-AWI, 2011 WL 2112475, at *5 (E.D. Cal. May 26, 2011) (ordering discovery of 13 personnel records as subject to protective order); Sanchez v. Cty. of Sacramento Sheriff’s Dep’t, 14 No. 2:19-CV-01545 MCE AC, 2020 WL 3542328, at *5 (E.D. Cal. June 30, 2020) (ordering 15 discovery of personnel records as subject to protective order). 16 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only Protected Material 17 (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted from Protected Material; (2) 18 all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, 19 conversations, or presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. 20 However, the protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order do not cover the 21 following information: (a) any information that is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to 22 a Receiving Party or becomes part of the public domain after its disclosure to a Receiving Party 23 as a result of publication not involving a violation of this Order, including becoming part of the public record through trial or otherwise; and (b) any information known to the Receiving Party 24 prior to the disclosure or obtained by the Receiving Party after the disclosure from a source who 25 obtained the information lawfully and under no obligation of confidentiality to the Designating 26 Party. Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by a separate agreement or order. 27 /// 28 1 4. DURATION 2 Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by 3 this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court 4 order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in this action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after 5 the completion and exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this action, 6 including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time pursuant to 7 applicable law. 8 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 9 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each Party 10 or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take care 11 to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. 12 The Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of material, documents, 13 items, or oral or written communications that qualify – so that other portions of the material, 14 documents, items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept 15 unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order. 16 Mass, indiscriminate, routinized designations or designations that are shown to be clearly 17 unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber or 18 retard the case development process or to impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other 19 parties) are prohibited. If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that 20 it designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must promptly 21 notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation. 22 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order 23 (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so 24 designated before the material is disclosed or produced. 25 Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 26 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, but 27 excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing 28 1 Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each page that contains protected material. If only a 2 portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also 3 must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the 4 margins). A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for inspection need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated 5 which material it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the 6 designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed 7 “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and 8 produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for 9 protection under this Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party 10 must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL” legend to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a 11 portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also 12 must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the 13 margins). 14 (b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, that the 15 Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other 16 proceeding, all protected testimony. 17 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any other 18 tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the container 19 or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a 20 portion or portions of the information or item warrant protection, the Producing Party, to the 21 extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s). 22 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to 23 designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a 24 designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is 25 treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order. 26 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 27 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of 28 1 confidentiality within 60 days of receipt of such document(s). 2 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution 3 process by providing written notice of each designation it is challenging and describing the basis 4 for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as to whether a challenge has been made, the written notice must recite that the challenge to confidentiality is being made in accordance with this 5 specific paragraph of the Protective Order. The parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in 6 good faith and must begin the process by conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other 7 forms of communication are not sufficient) within 14 days of the date of service of notice. In 8 conferring, the Challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief that the confidentiality 9 designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party an opportunity to review the 10 designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if no change in designation is offered, 11 to explain the basis for the chosen designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next 12 stage of the challenge process only if it has engaged in this meet and confer process first or 13 establishes that the Designating Party is unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in 14 a timely manner. 15 6.3 Judicial Intervention. If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge without court 16 intervention, the Designating Party shall file and serve a motion to retain confidentiality as per 17 applicable judicial standing orders and local rules within 21 days of the initial notice of challenge 18 or within 14 days of the parties agreeing that the meet and confer process will not resolve their 19 dispute, whichever is earlier. Each such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration 20 affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the 21 preceding paragraph. Failure by the Designating Party to make such a motion including the 22 required declaration within 21 days (or 14 days, if applicable) shall automatically waive the 23 confidentiality designation for each challenged designation. In addition, the Challenging Party may file a motion challenging a confidentiality designation within 21 days of the parties agreeing 24 that the meet and confer process will not resolve the dispute, if there is good cause for doing so, 25 including a challenge to the designation of a deposition transcript or any portions thereof. Any 26 motion brought pursuant to this provision must be accompanied by a competent declaration 27 affirming that the movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed by the 28 1 preceding paragraph. 2 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating 3 Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose 4 unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless a Party has waived the confidentiality designation by failing to file a motion to 5 retain confidentiality as described above, all parties shall continue to afford the material in 6 question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s designation 7 until the court rules on the challenge. 8 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 9 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed or 10 produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this case only for prosecuting, 11 defending, or attempting to settle this litigation. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to 12 the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order. When the litigation has 13 been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL 14 DISPOSITION). Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a 15 location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under 16 this Order. 17 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered 18 by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any 19 information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to: 20 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this action, as well as employees 21 of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information 22 for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that 23 is attached hereto as Exhibit A; (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the Receiving 24 Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the 25 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 26 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is 27 reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and 28 1 Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 2 (d) the court and its personnel; 3 (e) court reporters and their staff, professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and 4 Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 5 (f) during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is reasonably 6 necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), 7 unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed 8 deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material must be separately 9 bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this 10 Stipulated Protective Order. 11 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a custodian or 12 other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information. 13 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER 14 LITIGATION 15 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that compels 16 disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party 17 must: 18 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include a 19 copy of the subpoena or court order; 20 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to issue in the 21 other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or order is subject to this 22 Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and 23 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. 24 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the 25 subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as 26 “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the subpoena or order 27 issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party 28 1 shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court of its confidential material – 2 and nothing in these provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving 3 Party in this action to disobey a lawful directive from another court. 4 9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION 5 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-Party in this 6 action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by Non-Parties in 7 connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. 8 Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking 9 additional protections. 10 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce a Non- 11 Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement with 12 the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall: 13 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that some or all 14 of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party; 15 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective Order in 16 this litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of the 17 information requested; and 18 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the NonParty. 19 (c) If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court within 14 20 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may produce the 21 Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely 22 seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession 23 or control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the 24 burden and expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material. 25 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 26 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected 27 Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated Protective 28 1 Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the 2 unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the 3 Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were 4 made of all the terms of this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 5 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED 6 MATERIALS 7 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain inadvertently 8 produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the obligations of the 9 Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This 10 provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery 11 order that provides for production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of 12 Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a 13 communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product 14 protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order 15 submitted to the court. 16 12. MISCELLANEOUS 17 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person to 18 seek its modification by the court in the future. 19 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective 20 Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any 21 information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no 22 Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered 23 by this Protective Order. 12.3 Filing Protected Material. Without written permission from the Designating Party 24 or a court order secured after appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in 25 the public record in this action any Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any 26 Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rules 140 and 141. 27 /// 28 1 13. FINAL DISPOSITION 2 Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined in paragraph 4, each 3 Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such 4 material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected 5 Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must 6 submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the 7 Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all 8 the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has 9 not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or 10 capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to 11 retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, 12 legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work 13 product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials contain Protected 14 Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to 15 this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION). 16 /// 17 /// 18 /// 19 /// 20 /// 21 /// 22 /// 23 /// /// 24 /// 25 /// 26 /// 27 /// 28 1 EXHIBIT A 2 ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND AGREEMENT TO BE BOUND 3 I, _____________________________ [print or type full name], of _________________ [print or 4 type full address], declare under penalty of perjury that I have read in its entirety and understand the Stipulated Protective Order that was issued by the United States District Court for the Eastern 5 District of California on [date] in the case of Matthew Huggins v.
