GOODWIN. 

WHEREAS, GOODWIN strongly opposes the inappropriate disclosure or 

dissemination of such confidential information to be obtained through various forms of 

discovery in this matter, and wishes to avoid the possibility of damage through the 

dissemination, disclosure or publication of private, confidential, psychological, medical, 

employment, financial, trade secret and/or proprietary information; 

WHEREAS, Stipulating Parties agree that the Arbitration Award by Christopher D. 

Burdick relating to GOODWIN (yet to be produced), and a memorandum from Chief Dale A. 

Webb to GOODWIN, dated October 25, 2010 (Bates Nos. APD001856-001862) are 

confidential and shall be governed by the provisions of this Stipulated Confidentiality 

Agreement and Proposed Stipulated Protective Order (the “Protective Order”). 

WHEREAS, Stipulating Parties also agree that certain deposition testimony given in 

this action by GOODWIN has already been designated as “Confidential,” and Stipulating 

Parties’ use of that Confidential testimony, shall be governed by the provisions of this 

Protective Order. 

WHEREAS, future discovery and/or deposition testimony relating to GOODWIN in 

this action may require that additional documents, information or deposition testimony be 

designated as “Confidential.” After being provided the opportunity to review and consider 

such information, GOODWIN shall identify and designate as “Confidential” any such future 

additional documents, information, or deposition testimony as may be necessary. Stipulating 

Parties agree that their use any such documents, information, or deposition testimony that has 

been so designated as “Confidential” shall be governed by the provisions of this Protective 

Order. 

WHEREAS, by participating in this Stipulation, reviewing any documents, designating 

certain documents as “Confidential,” and taking any other action as called for herein, 

GOODWIN does not waive any rights, including his right to assert his privilege pursuant to the 

Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution.

NOW THEREFORE: 

1. Definition of Confidential Material. This Protective Order shall govern the 

disclosure of certain confidential information, documents, and deposition testimony, and shall 

be binding on the Stipulating Parties and any other third party who executes the 

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, attached hereto as Exhibit “A”. “Confidential Material” is defined 

in this Protective Order as any information, documents, and/or deposition testimony relating to 

GOODWIN that GOODWIN believes in good faith contains or reflects any of the following: 

(a) Personnel file information; 

(b) Confidential and/or sensitive medical, psychological, and psychiatric information; 

(c) Social Security number, home address, home phone number, religious affiliation, 

contact or personal information regarding GOODWIN, or any of their family members; 

(d) Psychiatric, psychological and medical files; and/or 

(e) Other information which must be maintained in confidence to protect personal, 

business, employment, psychiatric or medical interests. Confidential material shall be 

understood to encompass not only that information that is expressly designated as Confidential 

Material, but also any information derived in whole or in part therefrom and all copies, 

photographs, excerpts, extracts, abstracts, summaries, or other materials that reflect or disclose 

the contents of Confidential Material. 

2. Designation of Confidential Material. Stipulating Parties agree that GOODWIN 

shall designate Confidential Material by stamping the relevant page(s) of information or 

documents produced with the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” Where Confidential Material 

consists of more than one page, the first page and each page on which Confidential Material 

appears shall be so designated. Such marking shall be made prior to the transmission of a 

physical copy (including but not limited to electronic copy) of such item to the Stipulating 

Parties. The prior deposition testimony of GOODWIN, which has already been designated by 

the court reporter as “CONFIDENTIAL,” is considered Confidential Material under this 

Protective Order. Similarly, the Arbitration Award by Christopher D. Burdick relating to 

Case 2:11-cv-01653-JAM-CMK Document 85 Filed 09/28/15 Page 3 of 10

GOODWIN, and a memorandum from Chief Dale A. Webb to GOODWIN, dated October 25, 

2010 (Bates Nos. APD001856-001862) are also considered Confidential Material under this 

Protective Order. GOODWIN shall identify and designate as Confidential Material any such 

future additional documents, information, or deposition testimony as may be necessary. 

Stipulating Parties agree that their use any such documents, information, or deposition 

testimony that has been so designated as “Confidential” shall be governed by the provisions of 

this Protective Order. 

3. Inadvertent Failure to Designate. An inadvertent failure to designate 

Confidential Material does not, standing alone, waive GOODWIN’s right to secure protection 

under this Protective Order for such material. If information or material is designated by 

GOODWIN as Confidential Material within a reasonable period of time after it was initially 

produced, the Stipulating Parties shall make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is 

treated in accordance with the provisions of this Protective Order. 

4. Use of Confidential Material. All Confidential Material shall be used only in 

connection with the Litigation, and consistent with the provisions of Paragraphs 8 and 9. No 

party or “Approved Person,” as such term is defined in Paragraph 5, shall directly or indirectly, 

verbally or otherwise, publish, disseminate, disclose, or post on the internet, or cause to be 

published, disseminated, disclosed, or posted on the internet, any Confidential Material, except 

as provided in this Protective Order or otherwise required by law. 

5. Restrictions on Disclosure of Confidential Material. Except with the prior 

written consent of GOODWIN, or upon order of the Court in the Litigation, or as otherwise 

provided in this Order, the Stipulating Parties shall not disclose Confidential Material to any 

person other than: 

(a) the Stipulating Parties, including their present and former officers, directors, 

partners, or employees, to the extent reasonably necessary and only for the purpose of 

conducting or assisting in this Litigation; 

(b) the Stipulating Parties’ attorneys of record in this Litigation, the partners,

associates, and employees of such counsel, and their authorized secretarial and paralegal staffs,

(g) employees of outside copying, printing, binding, or computer input services;

attorneys of record) for the purpose of assisting in this Litigation as outside consultants or

in this Litigation; 

(i) deposition witnesses, but only for the purposes of this Litigation and only (i) at 

deposition and only to the extent reasonably necessary and (ii) to prepare a witness for 

deposition and only to the extent reasonably necessary and only when, in good faith, counsel 

for the witness believes that there is a reasonable likelihood that the witness will be shown the 

Confidential Material at deposition, and neither the deposition witnesses, nor their counsel (to 

the extent they are not parties to this Protective Order) shall be entitled to retain copies of such 

Confidential Material; and 

(j) such other persons as the Parties may agree or may be ordered by the Court.

(The persons described in Paragraph 7(a)-(j) herein, are collectively referred to as “Approved 

Persons.”)

 6. Certification of Persons to Whom Confidential Material Is Disclosed. Prior to 

disclosure of any Confidential Materials to any person described in paragraphs 7(h)-(j) hereof, 

such person shall be given a copy of this Protective Order and shall sign a certification in the 

form of Exhibit A, attached hereto. Such signed and completed certification shall be retained 

by the attorneys of record for the Stipulating Party disclosing the Confidential Materials. 

7. Disclosure to Third Parties. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, to the 

extent the Stipulating Parties seek to disclose, or are otherwise requested to disclose during 

discovery, Confidential Material to any person, group, firm, entity, or other party who is not an 

Approved Person (a “Third Party”), disclosure to such Third Party may only be made after 

advising the Third Party of the existence and terms of this Protective Order, as well as securing 

the Third Party’s consent to be bound by this Protective Order’s terms and to submit to the 

jurisdiction of this Court by executing a copy of the ACKNOWLEDGEMENT, which is 

attached to this Order as Exhibit “A.” If the Third Party does not agree to execute Exhibit “A”, 

the Stipulating Parties will refer the Third Party to GOODWIN and request that the Third Party 

meet and confer with GOODWIN regarding any issues preventing the Third Party from 

executing this Protective Order. Before disclosing Confidential Material to any person not 

authorized to have access to Confidential Material under this section, the Stipulating Parties 

shall give at least fourteen (14) days’ written notice to GOODWIN stating the names and 

addresses of the person(s) to whom the disclosure will be made, and identifying with 

particularity the documents to be disclosed. If, within the 14-day period, a motion is filed 

objecting to the proposed disclosure, disclosure is not authorized unless and until the Court 

orders otherwise. 

8. Use of Confidential Material in Deposition. Subject to the provisions of 

Paragraph 9 below, if a Stipulating Party uses Confidential Material at a deposition, the 

Stipulating Party shall state on the record, prior to use of such Confidential Material, that the 

information or document to be used has been stamped Confidential Material by or on behalf of 

GOODWIN and is being used pursuant to the terms of this Protective Order.

9. Use of Confidential Material at Public Trial, Hearing, or Proceeding. If a 

Stipulating Party intends to use Confidential Material at a public trial, hearing, or proceeding in 

the Litigation, the Stipulating Party shall notify GOODWIN of the intended use no less than 

fourteen (14) days before such trial, hearing, or proceeding. To the extent the intended use is 

not already covered or governed by an order of the Court, the parties agree to meet and confer 

on the intended use or the parameters thereof. If the parties are unable to agree on the intended 

use or parameters thereof, GOODWIN shall be entitled to move the Court to disallow the 

Stipulating Party’s intended use or to set reasonable parameters on such intended use. 

GOODWIN must so move, if at all, no less than seven (7) days prior to the Stipulating Parties’ 

intended use of the Confidential Material. 

 10. Challenging Confidential Material Designation. A Stipulating Party may, at any 

time, notify GOODWIN in writing of its objection that a portion or all of the information or 

document designated by GOODWIN as Confidential Material does not fall within the 

definition of Confidential Material or is otherwise not entitled to such protection. The parties 

agree to thereafter meet and confer regarding the dispute. If such meet and confer efforts are 

unsuccessful at resolving the dispute, the Stipulating Party may move the Court for an order 

that the information or document so designated, or the challenged portion thereof, is not 

properly designated under the terms of this Protective Order. The Stipulating Parties agree to 

submit the challenged information and/or documents to the Court for in camera review, though 

the burden of proof with respect to confidentiality at all times rests with GOOWDIN. The 

Stipulating Parties agree to treat such information or document, or portion thereof, as 

Confidential Material until the Court or the parties resolve the dispute. 

11. Inappropriate Disclosure. If any Stipulating Party becomes aware that 

disclosure of Confidential Material has been made to a person other than an Approved Person 

or pursuant to an order of the Court, the Stipulating Party shall immediately inform 

GOODWIN in writing, of such disclosure, and shall immediately take reasonable steps within 

the Stipulating Party’s power to prevent further or greater unauthorized disclosure of the

Confidential Material. In no event shall wrongful disclosure of Confidential Material be 

deemed to render such Confidential Material “publicly known” and/or no longer constituting 

Confidential Material. 

12. Return/Destruction of Confidential Material. Upon final termination of the 

Litigation, the Confidential Material, except for that incorporated in pleadings, deposition 

transcripts, and the work product of counsel, shall be destroyed or returned to CITY. 

13. Modification in Writing. This Protective Order shall not be modified or 

terminated except by written stipulation executed by Stipulating Parties or further order of the 

Court. 

14. Execution in Counterparts. This Protective Order may be executed in 

counterparts and each counterpart shall be deemed an original, and all counterparts taken 

together will constitute one and the same agreement, which will be binding and effective as to 

the parties hereto. Counterparts may be delivered by facsimile. 

 IT IS SO STIPULATED.
