22 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE CITY OF LOS ANGELES ET AL; ORDER 23

24 Defendants. 25 26 27 1. A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS 1 2 Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential, 3 proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public disclosure 4 and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. 5 6 Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the 7 following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does 8 not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that 9 10 the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited 11 information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable 12 legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, 13 14 that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential 15 information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be 16 followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from 17 18 the court to file material under seal. 19

20 21 B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT 22 This action involves the City of Los Angeles and Los Angeles Police 23 Department officers. Plaintiff is seeking materials and information that Defendants 24 25 the City of Los Angeles (“the City”) and Los Angeles Police Department officers 26 (collectively “Defendants”) maintain as confidential, specifically the police body 27 worn video from the incident date, police in car video from the incident date in the possession of the City, and police administrative materials, and which Defendants 1 2 believe need special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose 3 other than prosecuting this litigation. 4 Defendants assert that the confidentiality of the materials and information 5 6 sought by Plaintiff is recognized by California and federal law, as evidenced inter alia 7 by California Penal Code section 832.7 and Kerr v. United States Dist. Ct. for N.D. 8 Cal., 511 F.2d 192, 198 (9th Cir. 1975), aff'd, 426 U.S. 394 (1976). The City has not 9 10 publicly released the materials and information referenced above except under 11 protective order or pursuant to a court order, if at all. These materials and information 12 are of the type that has been used to initiate disciplinary action against Los Angeles 13 14 Police Department officers, and has been used as evidence in disciplinary 15 proceedings, where the officers’ conduct was considered to be contrary to LAPD 16 policy. 17 18 The City contends that absent a protective order delineating the responsibilities 19 of nondisclosure on the part of the parties hereto, there is a specific risk of unnecessary 20 21 and undue disclosure by one or more of the many attorneys, secretaries, law clerks, 22 paralegals and expert witnesses involved in this case, as well as the corollary risk of 23 embarrassment, harassment and professional and legal harm on the part of the LAPD 24 25 officers referenced in the materials and information. 26 The City also contends that the unfettered disclosure of the materials and 27 information, absent a protective order, would allow the media to share this information with potential jurors in the area, impacting the rights of the City herein to 1 2 receive a fair trial. 3 Defendants have subpoenaed Plaintiff’s medical records which are protected 4 by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and require 5 6 special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than 7 prosecuting this action. Plaintiff contends that any medical information contained in 8 the subpoenaed records which is not directly related to Plaintiff’s physical shoulder 9 10 injury is irrelevant to the prosecution of this action and that absent a protective order 11 there is a specific risk of unnecessary and undue disclosure which would lead to the 12 unjust annoyance and embarrassment of Plaintiff. Therefore, any documents 13 14 subpoenaed from a health care provider, if filed with the Court, shall be filed under 15 seal, and shall either file a redacted document with the consent of the party who 16 designated the document as confidential or when such measure proves inadequate 17 18 shall seek permission to file the document under seal by filing a motion for leave to 19 file under seal. 20 21 Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt 22 resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately 23 protect information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the 24 25 parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in preparation for and 26 in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of the litigation, and serve 27 the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that information will not be designated as confidential for 1 2 tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it 3 has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause 4 why it should not be part of the public record of this case. 5 6 7 2. DEFINITIONS 8 2.1 Action: [this pending federal law suit]. 9 10 2.2 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the 11 designation of information or items under this Order. 12 2.3 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information (regardless of 13 14 how it is generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for protection 15 under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), and as specified above in the Good 16 Cause Statement. 17 18 2.4 Counsel: Outside Counsel of Record and House Counsel (as well as their 19 support staff). 20 21 2.5 Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates information or 22 items that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as 23 “CONFIDENTIAL.” 24 25 2.6 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless 26 of the medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, 27 among other things, testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced or generated in disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter. 1 2 2.7 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter 3 pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as 4 an expert witness or as a consultant in this Action. 5 6 2.8 House Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a party to this Action. 7 House Counsel does not include Outside Counsel of Record or any other outside 8 counsel. 9 10 2.9 Non-Party: any natural person, partnership, corporation, association, or 11 other legal entity not named as a Party to this action. 12 2.10 Outside Counsel of Record: attorneys who are not employees of a party 13 14 to this Action but are retained to represent or advise a party to this Action and have 15 appeared in this Action on behalf of that party or are affiliated with a law firm which 16 has appeared on behalf of that party, and includes support staff. 17 18 2.11 Party: any party to this Action, including all of its officers, directors, 19 employees, consultants, retained experts, and Outside Counsel of Record (and their 20 21 support staffs). 22 2.12 Producing Party: a Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or 23 Discovery Material in this Action. 24 25 2.13 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation support 26 services (e.g., photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or 27 demonstrations, and organizing, storing, or retrieving data in any form or medium) and their employees and subcontractors. 1 2 2.14 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is 3 designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” 4 2.15 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material 5 6 from a Producing Party. 7

8 3. SCOPE 9 10 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only 11 Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted 12 from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of 13 14 Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or presentations by Parties 15 or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. 16 Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the 17 18 trial judge. This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial. 19 4. DURATION 20 Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations 21 22 imposed by this Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees 23 otherwise in writing or a court order otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be 24 deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in this Action, with 25 26 or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion and 27 exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this Action, including the time limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time 1 2 pursuant to applicable law. 3

4 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 5 6 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. 7 Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this 8 Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies 9 10 under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for protection 11 only those parts of material, documents, items, or oral or written communications that 12 qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, items, or communications 13 14 for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of 15 this Order. 16 Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations 17 18 that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper 19 purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose 20 21 unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating Party 22 to sanctions. 23 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it 24 25 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must 26 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation. 27 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise 1 2 stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection 3 under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or 4 produced. 5 6 Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 7 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic 8 documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial 9 10 proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend 11 “CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that 12 contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page 13 14 qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected 15 portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). 16 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection 17 18 need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated 19 which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before 20 21 the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed 22 “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants 23 copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or 24 25 portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the 26 specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL legend” 27 to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly 1 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 identify 5 6 the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the deposition 7 all protected testimony. 8 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for 9 10 any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the 11 exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the legend 12 “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information warrants 13 14 protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected 15 portion(s). 16 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent 17 18 failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the 19 Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. 20 21 Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable 22 efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this 23 Order. 24 25 26 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 27 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s 1 2 Scheduling Order. 3 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute 4 resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq. 5 6 6.3 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on 7 the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose 8 (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may 9 10 expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived 11 or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to afford the 12 material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing 13 14 Party’s designation until the Court rules on the challenge. 15

16 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 17 18 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is 19 disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this 20 21 Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such 22 Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the 23 conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a Receiving 24 25 Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION). 26 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a 27 location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under this Order. 1 2 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless 3 otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a 4 Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated 5 6 “CONFIDENTIAL” only to: 7 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well 8 as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary 9 10 to disclose the information for this Action; 11 (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the 12 Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action; 13 14 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom 15 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the 16 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 17 18 (d) the court and its personnel; 19 (e) court reporters and their staff; 20 21 (f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional 22 Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have 23 signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 24 25 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a 26 custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information; 27 (h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing party 1 2 requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit A hereto; and (2) they will 3 not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the 4 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise 5 6 agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed 7 deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may be 8 separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as 9 10 permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and 11 (i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, 12 mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions. 13 14 15 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN 16 OTHER LITIGATION 17 18 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation 19 that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as 20 “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must: 21 22 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall 23 include a copy of the subpoena or court order; 24 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order 25 26 to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena 27 or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and 1 2 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued 3 by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. 4 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with 5 6 the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action 7 as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the subpoena 8 or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The 9 10 Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that court 11 of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions should be construed as 12 authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action to disobey a lawful 13 14 directive from another court. 15

16 9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE 17 18 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION 19 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a 20 Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information 21 22 produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the 23 remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be 24 construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections. 25 26 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to 27 produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s 1 2 confidential information, then the Party shall: 3 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party 4 that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement 5 6 with a Non-Party; 7 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated 8 Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably 9 10 specific description of the information requested; and 11 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non- 12 Party, if requested. 13 14 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within 15 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party 16 may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery 17 18 request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall 19 not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the 20 21 confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court. 22 Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense 23 of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material. 24 25 26 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 27 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this 1 2 Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in 3 writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts 4 to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or 5 6 persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, 7 and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and 8 Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 9 10 11 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE 12 PROTECTED MATERIAL 13 14 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain 15 inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, 16 the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil 17 18 Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure 19 may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior 20 21 privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the 22 parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or 23 information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the 24 25 parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted 26 to the court. 27 12. MISCELLANEOUS 1 2 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any 3 person to seek its modification by the Court in the future. 4 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this 5 6 Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to 7 disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this 8 Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any 9 10 ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order. 11 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any 12 Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may 13 14 only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific 15 Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected Material under seal is 16 denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in the public 17 18 record unless otherwise instructed by the court. Any documents that contain Protected 19 Material which are not filed under seal must be redacted to prevent disclosure of the 20 21 Protected Material. 22 23 13. FINAL DISPOSITION 24 After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 60 25 26 days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return 27 all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, 1 2 summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected 3 Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party 4 must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person 5 6 or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by 7 category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed 8 and (2)affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, 9 10 compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of the 11 Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an 12 archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing 13 14 transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert 15 reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such 16 materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or 17 18 constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in 19 Section 4 (DURATION). 20 21 22 14. Any violation of this Order may be punished by any and all appropriate 23 measures including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary 24 25 sanctions. 26 /// 27 /// 2 || ITIS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD. 3 4 5 DATED: June __, 2020 MICHAEL YAROSHINSKY
