MARK BERG, JEFFERY TACAZON and MICHELLE GUTHRIE, by and through their 

undersigned counsel of record, and subject to the approval of the court, stipulate to the following 

Protective Order as set forth below: 

1. In connection with any discovery proceedings in this action, the parties may agree 

or the Court may direct that any document, thing, material, testimony or other information 

derived therefrom, be designated as “Confidential” under the terms of this Stipulated Protective 

Order (“Order”). Confidential information is information which has not been made public and is 

privileged and confidential and protected from public disclosure under applicable Federal or 

California State laws. 

2. Confidential documents shall be so designated by stamping copies of the 

document produced to a party with the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” Stamping the legend 

“CONFIDENTIAL” on the cover of any multi-page document shall designate all pages of the 

document as confidential, unless otherwise indicated by the producing party. 

3. Material designated as confidential under this Order, the information contained 

therein, and any summaries, copies, abstracts, or documents derived in whole or in part from 

material designated as confidential (“confidential material”) shall be used only for the purpose of 

the prosecution, defense, or settlement of this action (Thomas Wagner, et al. v. Stockton Police 

Department, et al., Case No. 2:11-CV-02490-TLN-EFB), and for no other purpose. 

4. Confidential material produced pursuant to this Order may be disclosed or made 

available only to the court, to counsel for a party (including the paralegal, clerical, and secretarial 

staff employed by such counsel) and to the “qualified persons” designated below: 

a. Experts or consultants (together with their clerical staff) retained by such 

counsel to assist in the prosecution, defense or settlement of this action; 

b. Court reporters employed in this action; 

c. A witness at any deposition or proceedings in this action; and 

d. Any other person as to whom the parties in writing agree. 

Prior to receiving any confidential material, each “qualified person” shall be 

provided with a copy of this Order and shall execute a non-disclosure agreement in the form of

Attachment A, a copy of which shall be maintained by the counsel who is providing the 

materials. 

5. The portion of any deposition in which confidential materials are discussed shall 

be taken only in the presence of qualified persons, as defined above. 

6. Nothing herein shall impose any restrictions on the use or disclosure by a party of 

material obtained by such party independent of discovery in this action, whether or not such 

material is also obtained through discovery in this action, or from disclosing its own confidential 

material as it deems appropriate. 

7. Receipt by any party of any confidential information does not constitute, nor is it 

to be construed to be, a waiver of any privilege or evidentiary objection, State or Federal. 

8. If confidential material, including any portion of a deposition transcript designated 

as confidential is included in any papers to be filed in court, such papers shall be labeled 

“CONFIDENTIAL-SUBJECT TO COURT ORDER” and filed under seal until further order of 

this court. Each envelope containing confidential material shall be endorsed with the title and 

case number of this action, and indication of the nature of said sealed envelope, a legend 

“CONFIDENTIAL-DESIGNATED BY COUNSEL,” and a statement substantially in the 

following form: “This envelope containing documents which are filed in this case is not to be 

opened, nor the contents thereof to be displayed or revealed except by order of the court.” 

Except, however, that any papers served on counsel for the parties need not include separate 

sealed envelopes for confidential materials. This stipulation and order does not entitle the parties 

to file confidential information under seal. Local Rule 141 sets forth the procedures that must be 

followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to 

file material under seal. 

9. This Order shall be without prejudice to the right of the parties 1) to bring before 

the court at any time the question of whether any particular document or information is 

confidential or whether its use shall be restricted; or 2) to present a motion to the court under 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c) for a separate protective order as to any particular 

document or information, including restrictions different from those as specified herein. This

Order shall not be deemed to prejudice the parties in any way in any future application for 

modification of this Order. 

10. Nothing in this Order nor the production of any information or document under 

the terms of this Order nor any proceedings pursuant to this Order, shall be deemed to have the 

effect of an admission or waiver of objections or privileges by either party or of altering the 

confidentiality or non-confidentiality of any such document or information or altering any 

existing right or obligation of any party or the absence thereof. 

11. This Order shall survive the final termination of this action, to the extent that the 

information contained in confidential material is not or does not become known to the public and 

the court shall retain jurisdiction to resolve any dispute concerning the use of information 

disclosed hereunder. Within ninety (90) days of the dismissal or entry of final judgment in this 

action, whichever occurs first, each party shall return to the producing party all confidential 

materials and any and all copies thereof. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
