1 A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS 2 Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of confidential, 3 proprietary, or private information for which protection from public disclosure and from use for any 4 purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby 5 stipulate to, and petition the court to enter, the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties 6 acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to 7 discovery and that the protection it affords extends only to the limited extent such information or items 8 are entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable federal law, including the Health Insurance 9 Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) and the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The parties 10 further acknowledge that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential 11 information under seal. Civil Local Rule 141 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and the 12 standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file material under seal. 13 B. STIPULATION 14 The parties hereby stipulate and agree as follows: 15 1. DOCUMENTS. The following documents are protected Materials and shall not be used 16 for any purpose other than this litigation: 17 (a) any video covering Plaintiff at the Yuba County Jail from the time Plaintiff was 18 brought into booking to the time of his release; 19 (b) any incident report or investigation concerning the allegations in the Complaint 20 made by the Yuba County Sheriff’s Department; 21 (c) all medical records for Plaintiff while at the Yuba County Jail; 22 (d) Plaintiff’s past and current medical records; 23 (e) medical billings, insurance information and evidence of payments made; 24 (f) personnel files of any peace officer or medical personnel involved in this case; 25 (g) Yuba County Health Service Division policies; 26 (h) Yuba County Sheriff Department Policies; and 27 (i) if a party wants to designate a document other than what is identified above as 28 confidential under this Protective Order, the procedure set forth in Sections D and E shall be followed. {02708570.DOCX} 2 1 2. SCOPE 2 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only Protected Material, but 3 also: (1) any information copied or extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, 4 summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or presentations 5 by Parties or their Counsel of Record that might reveal Protected Material. However, the protections 6 conferred by this Stipulation and Order do not cover the following information: (a) any information that 7 is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to a Receiving Party or becomes part of the public 8 domain after its disclosure to a Receiving Party as a result of publication not involving a violation of this 9 Order, including becoming part of the public record through court order, trial, or otherwise; and (b) any 10 information known to the Receiving Party prior to the disclosure or obtained by the Receiving Party 11 after the disclosure from a source who obtained the information lawfully and under no obligation of 12 confidentiality to the Designating Party. Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by a 13 separate agreement or order. 14 3. DURATION 15 Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by this 16 Order shall remain in effect until: (1) a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing; (2) a court order 17 otherwise directs; or (3) there is a complete return or destruction of all Protected Material pursuant to 18 Section 8. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of: (1) dismissal of all claims and defenses in 19 this action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion and exhaustion 20 of all appeals, re-hearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this action, including the time limits for filing 21 any motions or applications for extension of time pursuant to applicable law. 22 4. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 23 4.1 Basic Principles 24 A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed or produced by another Party or 25 by a Non-Party in connection with this case only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this 26 litigation. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the 27 conditions described in this Order.
