GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT 6 This action is likely to involve confidential information pertaining to 7 || personnel records and institutional procedures within the institution and other 8 || materials subject to privacy protections for which special protection from public g 9 || disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecution of this action is 4 bee 10 || warranted. Defendants contend that limiting disclosure of these documents to the : 5: 11 || context of this litigation as provided herein will, accordingly, further important law G ecu 12 || enforcement objectives and interests, including the safety of law enforcement 3 ou 13 || personnel, institutional safety as a whole, and the public, as well as individual 14 || privacy rights of Plaintiff, Defendants, and third parties. Defendants further contend 15 || that such confidential materials and information consist of, among other things, 16 || materials entitled to privileges and/or protections under the following: the United 17 || States Constitution, First Amendment; the California Constitution, Article I, Section 18 || 1; California Penal Code §§ 832.5, 832.7, and 832.8; California Evidence Code §8§ 19 || 1040 and 1043 et seq.; the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. § 552a; the right to 20 || privacy; decisional law relating to such provisions; and information otherwise 21 || generally unavailable to the public, or which may be privileged or otherwise 22 || protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, 23 ||or common law.

It is the intent of the parties that information will not be designated as est 11 || confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good 5 12 || faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and 3 oa 13 || there is good cause why it should not be part of the public record of this case. = 14 C.

In connection with non-dispositive motions, 22 || good cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See Kamakana v.

The Designating Party must designate for set 11 || protection only those parts of material, documents, items or oral or written SG 12 || communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, items a oa 13 || or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably = 82° 14|| within the ambit of this Order. 15 Mass, indiscriminate or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations 16 || that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper 17 || purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose 18 || unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating 19 || Party to sanctions. 20 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it 21 || designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must 22 || promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation. 23 5.2. Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in 24 || this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise 25 || stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection 26 || under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or 27 || produced. 28 Designation in conformity with this Order requires:
Case □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ Document 32 Filed 05/12/22 Page 8of17 Page ID #:184
1 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, 2 || but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that 3 || the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter 4 ||“CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that contains protected material. If only a 5 || portion of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also 6 || must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings 7 the margins). 8 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection 4 8 9 ||need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated 4 bag 10 || which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and ag! 11 || before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be 5 aoe 12 || deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the 3 ou 13 || documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which 14 || documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, 15 || before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the 16 || “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a 17 || portion of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also 18 || must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings 19 || in the margins). 20 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identifies 21 || the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the 22 || deposition all protected testimony. 23 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for 24 || any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the 25 || exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the legend 26 || “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information warrants 27 || protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected 28 || portion(s).

1 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent 2 || failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive 3 || the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. 4 || Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable 5 || efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this 6 || Order. 7\;}6.
