22 Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), Defendants, COUNTY 33 OF SAN BERNARDINO and CITY OF VICTORVILLE, and Plaintiffs 44 SAMUEL R. NAVARETTE, JR,, SAMUEL R. NAVARETTE, SR., ANDREW 55 NAVARETTE, a Minor, by and through his Guardian ad Litem, ROSE 66 VIALPANDO, JESSICA NAVARETTE, a Minor, by and through his Guardian ad 77 Litem, ROSE VIALPANDO, DANIEL NAVARETTE, JEANETTE ALAMEDA, 88 JASMINE LYNES (collectively "the Parties"), by their undersigned counsel, agree 99 to be bound to the terms of the following Protective Order. The Parties represent 1100 that pre-trial discovery in this case is likely to include the production of 1111 information and/or documents that are confidential and/or privileged including the 1122 production of peace officer personnel file information and/or documents which the 1133 Parties agree includes: (1) Personal data, including marital status, family members, 1144 educational and employment history, home addresses, or similar information; (2) 1155 Medical history; (3) Election of employee benefits; (4) Employee advancement, 1166 appraisal, or discipline; and (5) Complaints, or investigations of complaints, 1177 concerning an event or transaction in which a peace officer participated, or which a 1188 peace officer perceived, and pertaining to the manner in which the peace officer 1199 performed his or her duties including compelled statements by peace officers. 2200 Defendants contend that such information is privileged as official information. 2211 Sanchez v. City of Santa Ana, 936 F.2d 1027, 1033 (9th Cir. Cal. 1990); see also 2222 Kerr v. United States Dist. Ct. for N.D.

Further, discovery may 2244 require the production of certain San Bernardino County Sheriffs’ Office Policies 2255 and Procedures not available to the public and the public disclosure of which could 2266 comprise officer safety, raise security issues, and/or impede investigations. Peace 2277 officer personnel file information and/or documents and security-sensitive policies

11 Defendants contend that that public disclosure of such material poses a
22 substantial risk of embarrassment, oppression and/or physical harm to peace 33 officers whose Confidential Information is disclosed. The Parties further agree that 44 the risk of harm to peace officers is greater than with other government employees 55 due to the nature of their profession. Finally, the Defendants contend that the 66 benefit of public disclosure of Confidential Information is minimal while the 77 potential disadvantages are great. 88 Accordingly, good cause exists for entry of this Protective Order to facilitate 99 pre-trial disclosure while assuring the safety of these sensitive disclosures.

Prejudice in any way the rights of Defendants to seek a determination 99 by the Court whether any Confidential Information should be subject 1100 to the terms of this Order; 1111 15. Challenging Designation of Information: Plaintiff may challenge 1122 the propriety of a Confidential Information designation by providing to the 1133 Defendant claiming confidentiality a writing which briefly: (i) identifies with 1144 reasonable particularity the documents and/or information which are the subject of 1155 the challenge; and (ii) describes the basic legal or factual grounds for the 1166 challenge. Once a challenge is made, the Defendant claiming confidentiality will 1177 bear the burden of initiating and conducting a sufficient meet and confer (per Local 1188 Rule 37-1); and, if necessary, Defendant claiming confidentiality will bear the 1199 burdens of proof and persuasion in moving for a Protective Order (per Local Rule 2200 37-2) to uphold the challenged Confidential Information designation(s). Until the 2211 Court rules on the timely filed Motion for Protective Order, all parties shall 2222 continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is 2233 entitled under the claiming Defendants’ designation. 2244 Any challenge to a designation of confidentiality must be made at a time that 2255 is consistent with the Court’s Scheduling Order in this matter. 2266 16. Additional Parties or Attorneys: In the event additional parties join 2277 or intervene in this action, the newly joined party(ies) shall not have access to
2288 Confidential Information until its counsel has executed an agreement to be fully -11- [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER Case 5:21-cv-02022-JWH-KK Document 15 Filed 02/02/22 Page 12 of 16 Page ID #:181
11 bound by this Order. If any additional attorneys make appearances in this
22 Litigation, those attorneys shall not have access to Confidential Information until 33 they execute the “Agreement Concerning Information Covered by Protective 44 Order” attached hereto as Exhibit "A". 55 17. Protective Order Remains In Force: This Protective Order shall 66 remain in force and effect until modified, superseded, or terminated by consent of 77 the Parties or by order of the Court made upon reasonable written notice. Unless 88 otherwise ordered, or agreed upon by the parties, this Protective Order shall 99 survive the termination of this action. The Court retains jurisdiction even after 1100 termination of this action to enforce this Protective Order and to make such 1111 amendments, modifications, deletions and additions to this Protective Order as the 1122 Court may from time to time deem appropriate. 1133 18. Conclusion of Litigation: Within ninety (90) days after receiving 1144 notice of the entry of an order, judgment or decree finally disposing of this 1155 Litigation, all persons having received Confidential Information shall either return 1166 such material and all copies thereof to the counsel of the Defendant who 1177 designated the information as Confidential or destroy all such Confidential 1188 Information including the Confidential Information Plaintiff provided to other 1199 persons. In either case, counsel for Plaintiff must certify that fact to the counsel of 2200 the Defendant who designated the information as Confidential. 2211 19. Redaction Allowed: Defendants may redact Confidential Information 2222 from documents and things produced to the extent that such information consists of 2233 personal identifying information of third parties per Federal Rule of Civil 2244 Procedure 5.2 and Central District Local Rule 5.2-1 and/or personal identifying 2255 information of peace officers or their family members, such as ID numbers, phone 2266 numbers, addresses, or medical history which is unrelated to any claim or defense 2277 raised in the instant action. Defendants shall mark each thing where matter has
2288 been redacted with a legend stating “REDACTED,” as appropriate, or a -12- [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER Case 5:21-cv-02022-JWH-KK Document 15 Filed 02/02/22 Page 13 of 16 Page ID #:182
11 comparable notice.
22 20. Violations of Protective Order: In the event that any person or party 33 should violate the terms of this Protective Order, the aggrieved party should apply 44 to the Court obtain relief against any such person or party violating or threatening 55 to violate any of the terms of this Protective Order. 66 Any motion seeking injunctive relief for violation of this Protective Order 77 must be brought before the assigned Magistrate Judge in strict compliance with 88 Local Civil Rules 37-1 and 37-2, including the Joint Stipulation requirement. 99 21. Protected Material Subpoenaed or Ordered Produced in Other 1100 Litigation: 1111 A. If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other 1122 litigation that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this 1133 Action as “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must: 1144 1. Promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such 1155 notification shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order; 1166 2. Promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena 1177 or order to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the 1188 material covered by the subpoena or order is subject to this 1199 Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this 2200 Protective Order; and 2211 3. Cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to 2222 be pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material 2233 may be affected. 2244 B. If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party 2255 served with the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information 2266 designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the 2277 Court from which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the
2288 Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and -13- [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER Case 5:21-cv-02022-JWH-KK Document 15 Filed 02/02/22 Page 14o0f16 Page ID #:183
