27 1 I. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS 2 A. 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 5 be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court 6 to enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that 7 8 this Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to 9 discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends 10 only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment 11 under the applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth 12 in Section XIII(C), below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle 13 them to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth 14 the procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a 15 party seeks permission from the Court to file material under seal. 16 17 II. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT 18 This action involves Plaintiff Kendrick Sampson (“Plaintiff”) and the City of Los 19 Angeles, the Los Angeles Police Department, Chief Michel Moore, Sgt. Jeritt Severns, 20 Officer Allan Salazar, Officer Oscar Arias, Officer Ruben Rodriguez, and Officer David 21 Martin (collectively “Defendants”). Plaintiff is seeking materials and information that 22 Defendant City of Los Angeles (“City”) maintains as confidential, such as Internal Affairs 23 materials and information, internal use of force investigation reports, video recordings, 24 25 audio recordings, and materials, personnel records and other administrative materials 26 and information currently in the possession of the City which Defendants believe need 27 special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than 1 Defendants assert that the confidentiality of the materials and information sought 2 by Plaintiff is recognized by California and federal law, as evidenced inter alia by 3 California Penal Code section 832.7 and Kerr v. United States Dist. Ct. for N.D. Cal., 511 4 F.2d 192, 198 (9th Cir. 1975), aff'd, 426 U.S. 394 (1976). The City has not publicly 5 released the materials and information referenced above. These materials and 6 information are of the type that have been used to initiate disciplinary action against 7 8 LAPD officers, and has been used as evidence in disciplinary proceedings, where the 9 officers’ conduct was considered to be contrary to LAPD policy. 10 Defendants contend that absent a protective order delineating the responsibilities 11 of nondisclosure on the part of the parties hereto, there is a specific risk of unnecessary 12 and undue disclosure by one or more of the many attorneys, secretaries, law clerks, 13 paralegals and expert witnesses involved in this case, as well as the corollary risk of 14 embarrassment, harassment as well as professional, physical and legal harm on the part 15 of the LAPD officers referenced in the materials and information. 16 17 Defendants also contend that the unfettered disclosure of the materials and 18 information, absent a protective order, would allow the media to share this information 19 with potential jurors in the area, impacting the rights of the Defendants herein to receive 20 a fair trial. 21 Plaintiff believes, among other personal information and records, Defendants will 22 seek, and Plaintiff will produce discovery material in this action that contains medical 23 records and other documents and records protected by federal and state constitutional 24 25 and statutory right to privacy laws, including but not limited to, the Health Insurance 26 Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA), California Civil Code section 1798 et seq., 27 and California Welfare and Institutions Code section 5328. Plaintiff believes unfettered 1 state laws and result in the unnecessary dissemination of Plaintiff’s personal and private 2 physical and mental health information, as well as other personal information. Plaintiff 3 further believes such dissemination could result in unnecessary and unwarranted 4 embarrassment to Plaintiff and the infliction of unnecessary and unwarranted emotional 5 distress. The protective order will allow for the disclosure and for Defendants’ use of the 6 information without subjecting Plaintiff to unnecessary dissemination of personal and 7 8 otherwise protected materials. 9 Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt resolution 10 of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately protect information 11 the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted 12 reasonable necessary uses of such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, 13 to address their handling at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a 14 protective order for such information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the 15 parties that information will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and 16 17 that nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a 18 confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part of the 19 public record of this case. This also includes (1) any information copied or extracted from 20 the Confidential information; (2) copies, excerpts, summaries or compilations of 21 Confidential information; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or presentations that 22 might reveal Confidential information. 23

Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of 27 the trial judge. This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial. 1 . 2 A. Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations 3 imposed by this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees 4 otherwise in writing or a court order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be 5 deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in this Action, 6 with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion and 7 8 exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this Action, 9 including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of 10 time pursuant to applicable law. 11 VI. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 12 A. Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection 13 1. Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for 14 protection under this Order must take care to limit any such designation to 15 specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. The 16 17 Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of 18 material, documents, items, or oral or written communications that qualify 19 so that other portions of the material, documents, items, or 20 communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept 21 unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order. 22 2. Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. 23 Designations that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been 24 25 made for an improper purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case 26 development process or to impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on 27 other parties) may expose the Designating Party to sanctions. 1 items that it designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that 2 Designating Party must promptly notify all other Parties that it is 3 withdrawing the inapplicable designation. 4 B. Manner and Timing of Designations 5 1. Except as otherwise provided in this Order (see, e.g., Section B(2)(b) 6 below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery 7 8 Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so 9 designated before the material is disclosed or produced. 10 2. Designation in conformity with this Order requires the following: 11 a. For information in documentary form (e.g., paper or 12 electronic documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or 13 other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a 14 minimum, the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter 15 “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that contains protected 16 17 material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page 18 qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly 19 identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate 20 markings in the margins). 21 b. A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available 22 for inspection need not designate them for protection until after the 23 inspecting Party has indicated which documents it would like copied 24 25 and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all 26 of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed 27 “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the 1 determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for 2 protection under this Order. Then, before producing the specified 3 documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL 4 legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a 5 portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, 6 the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected 7 8 portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). 9 c. For testimony given in depositions, that the Designating Party 10 identify the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before 11 the close of the deposition all protected testimony. 12 d. For information produced in form other than document and 13 for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a 14 prominent place on the exterior of the container or containers in 15 which the information is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If 16 17 only a portion or portions of the information warrants protection, the 18 Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the 19 protected portion(s). 20 C. Inadvertent Failure to Designate 21 1. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to designate qualified 22 information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating 23 Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon 24 25 timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make 26 reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with 27 the provisions of this Order. 1 VII. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 2 A. Timing of Challenges 3 1. Any party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of 4 confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s Scheduling 5 Order. 6 B. Meet and Confer 7 8 1. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution process 9 under Local Rule 37.1 et seq. 10 C. The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the 11 Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose 12 (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may 13 expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has 14 waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to 15 afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under 16 17 the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the challenge. 18 VIII. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 19 A. Basic Principles 20 1. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed or 21 produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this Action 22 only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such 23 Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and 24 25 under the conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been 26 terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of Section 27 XIV below. 1 Party at a location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited 2 to the persons authorized under this Order. 3 B. Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items 4 1. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court or permitted in writing by the 5 Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any information or item 6 designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to: 7 8 a. The Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this 9 Action, as well as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to 10 whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information for this 11 Action; 12 b. The officers, directors, and employees (including House 13 Counsel) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably 14 necessary for this Action; 15 c. Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to 16 17 whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who 18 have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” 19 (Exhibit A); 20 d. The Court and its personnel; 21 e. Court reporters and their staff; 22 f. Professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and 23 Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for 24 25 this Action and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and 26 Agreement to be Bound” attached as Exhibit A hereto; 27 g. The author or recipient of a document containing the 1 or knew the information; 2 h. During their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for 3 witnesses, in the Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary 4 provided: (i) the deposing party requests that the witness sign the 5 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound;” and (ii) they will 6 not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they 7 8 sign the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound,” unless 9 otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the Court. 10 Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions 11 that reveal Protected Material may be separately bound by the court 12 reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted 13 under this Stipulated Protective Order; and 14 i. Any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting 15 personnel, mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in 16 17 settlement discussions. 18 IX. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED 19 IN OTHER LITIGATION 20 A. If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other 21 litigation that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this 22 Action as “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must: 23 1. Promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification 24 25 shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order; 26 2. Promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or 27 order to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered 1 notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and 2 3. Cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be 3 pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be 4 affected. 5 B. If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served 6 with the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in 7 8 this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the Court from which 9 the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating 10 Party’s permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of 11 seeking protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these 12 provisions should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in 13 this Action to disobey a lawful directive from another court. 14 X. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE 15 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION 16 17 A. The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non- 18 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 produce 23 a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to 24 25 an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential 26 information, then the Party shall: 27 1. Promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party 1 agreement with a Non-Party; 2 2. Promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated 3 Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a 4 reasonably specific description of the information requested; and 5 3. Make the information requested available for inspection by the Non- 6 Party, if requested. 7 8 C. If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within 14 9 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party 10 may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery 11 request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall 12 not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the 13 confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court. 14 Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and 15 expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material. 16 17 XI. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 18 A. If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has 19 disclosed Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized 20 under this Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (1) 21 notify in writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (2) use its 22 best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (3) inform 23 the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the 24 25 terms of this Order, and (4) request such person or persons to execute the 26 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit 27 A. 1 XII. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE 2 PROTECTED MATERIAL 3 A. When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain 4 inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other 5 protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal 6 Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify 7 8 whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for 9 production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 10 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure 11 of a communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or 12 work product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the 13 Stipulated Protective Order submitted to the Court. 14 XIII. MISCELLANEOUS 15 A. Right to Further Relief 16 17 1. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person to seek its 18 modification by the Court in the future. 19 B. Right to Assert Other Objections 20 1. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective Order, no Party waives 21 any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any 22 information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated 23 Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any 24 25 ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective 26 Order. 27 C. Filing Protected Material 1 comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may only be filed 2 under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific 3 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 5 information in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the Court. 6

7 8 XIV. FINAL DISPOSITION 9 A. After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in Section V, within 10 sixty (60) days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party 11 must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. 12 As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, 13 compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of 14 the Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, 15 the Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party 16 17 (and, if not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day 18 deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected 19 Material that was returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party 20 has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other 21 format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding 22 this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, 23 motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, 24 25 correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work 26 product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials contain 27 Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected 1 B. 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. 4
