PROTECTIVE ORDER

[PROPOSED ORDER]

(Docs. 15, 16)

COME NOW the Parties in this matter and jointly present this Protective Order for the 

Court’s approval. 

PROTECTIVE ORDER

1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

Disclosure and discovery activity in this action are likely to involve production of confidential, 

proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public disclosure and from use for 

any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. Accordingly, the Parties in Jane 

Doe v. County of Kern and George Anderson, USDC Eastern District of California Case No. 1:15-CV01641-WBS-JLT petitioned the Court to enter the following Protective Order. Good cause appearing, 

the Court ORDERS as follows: 

This Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and 

that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or

3. SCOPE

The protections conferred by this Order cover not only Protected Material (as defined above), 

but also (1) any information copied or extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, 

summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or 

presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. However, the protections 

conferred by this Order do not cover the following information: (a) any information that is in the public 

domain at the time of disclosure to a Receiving Party or becomes part of the public domain after its 

disclosure to a Receiving Party as a result of publication not involving a violation of this Order, 

including becoming part of the public record through trial or otherwise; and (b) any information known 

to the Receiving Party prior to the disclosure or obtained by the Receiving Party after the disclosure 

from a source who obtained the information lawfully and under no obligation of confidentiality to the 

Designating Party. Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by a separate agreement or 

order. 

4. DURATION

Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations imposed by this 

Order shall remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees otherwise in writing or a court order 

otherwise directs. Final disposition shall be deemed to be the later of (1) dismissal of all claims and

and exhaustion of all appeals, rehearings, remands, trials, or reviews of this action, including the time 

limits for filing any motions or applications for extension of time pursuant to applicable law. 

5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL

5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection

Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order 

must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate 

standards. The Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of material, documents, 

items, or oral or written communications that qualify – so that other portions of the material, 

documents, items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably 

within the ambit of this Order. 

Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are shown to 

be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber 

or retard the case development process or to impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) 

expose the Designating Party to sanctions. 

If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it designated for 

protection do not qualify for protection, the Designating Party must promptly notify all other Parties 

that it is withdrawing the mistaken designation. 

5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations

Except as otherwise provided in this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) 

below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for 

protection under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or produced. 

Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 

(a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, but 

excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing 

Party affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” to each page that contains protected material. If only 

a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also 

must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the 

Case 1:15-cv-01641-JLT Document 17 Filed 02/03/16 Page 4 of 13

margins).A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents or materials available for 

inspection need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated 

which material it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the 

designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be deemed 

“CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied 

and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof, 

qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the 

Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL” legend to each page that contains Protected 

Material. 

If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also 

must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). 

(b) for testimony given in deposition or in other pretrial or trial proceedings, that the 

Designating Party identify on the record, before the close of the deposition, hearing, or other 

proceeding, all protected testimony. 

(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any other 

tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the 

container or containers in which the information or item is stored the legend 

“CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information or item warrant protection, 

the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected portion(s). 

5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate 

If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to designate qualified information or items does not, 

standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such 

material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to 

assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order. 

6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 

6.1 Timing of Challenges 

Any Party may challenge a designation of confidentiality at any time. Unless a prompt 

challenge to a Designating Party’s confidentiality designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable,

substantial unfairness, unnecessary economic burdens, or a significant disruption or delay of the 

litigation, the challenge must be brought within a reasonable time or it is waived.

6.2 Meet and Confer 

The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution process by providing written notice 

of each designation it is challenging and describing the basis for each challenge. To avoid ambiguity as 

to whether a challenge has been made, the written notice must recite that the challenge to 

confidentiality is being made in accordance with this specific paragraph of the Protective Order. The 

parties shall attempt to resolve each challenge in good faith and must begin the process by conferring 

directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other forms of communication are not sufficient) within 14 days of 

the date of service of notice. In conferring, the Challenging Party must explain the basis for its belief 

that the confidentiality designation was not proper and must give the Designating Party an opportunity 

to review the designated material, to reconsider the circumstances, and, if no change in designation is 

offered, to explain the basis for the chosen designation. A Challenging Party may proceed to the next 

stage of the challenge process only if it has engaged in this meet and confer process first or establishes 

that the Designating Party is unwilling to participate in the meet and confer process in a timely manner. 

6.3 Judicial Intervention 

If the Parties cannot resolve a challenge after meeting and conferring, the Challenging Party 

SHALL initiate an informal, telephonic conference with the assigned Magistrate Judge. At that 

conference, the Court will attempt to resolve the matter without need for formal motion practice. If, in 

the Court’s view, the matter can only be resolved through formal motion practice, the Court will 

authorize the Challenging Party to file a motion which SHALL comply with Local Rule 251(c). 

As with motions to compel, the Challenging Party SHALL bear the initial burden of 

demonstrating that the Designating Party has improperly marked the material as confidential. If this 

showing is made, the burden will shift and as with motions for protective orders under Federal Rules of 

Civil Procedure 26(c), the burden of establishing the need for the confidentiality—as with any 

evidentiary privilege—must be borne by the Designating Party who is asserting it. Frivolous 

challenges, and those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses 

and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. All parties shall continue

to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing 

Party’s designation until the court rules on the challenge.

7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

7.1 Basic Principles

A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed or produced by another Party or 

by a Non-Party in connection with this case only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this 

litigation. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the 

conditions described in this Order. When the litigation has been terminated, a Receiving Party must 

comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION). 

Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location and in a 

secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under this Order. 

7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items

Unless otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a 

Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to: 

(a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this action, as well as 

employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose 

the information for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement 

to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A; 

(b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the Receiving 

Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the 

“Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 

(c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is 

reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and 

Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 

(d) the court and its personnel; 

(e) court reporters and their staff, professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, 

and Professional Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and 

who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A);

(f) during their depositions, witnesses in the action to whom disclosure is reasonably 

necessary and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit 

A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of 

transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material must 

be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as 

permitted under this Protective Order. 

(g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a custodian or 

other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information. 

8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN OTHER 

LITIGATION 

If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that compels 

disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must: 

(a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include a 

copy of the subpoena or court order; 

(b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to issue in 

the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or order is subject 

to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Protective Order; and 

(c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by the 

Designating Party who’s Protected Material may be affected. If the Designating Party timely 

seeks a protective order, the Party served with the subpoena or court order shall not produce 

any information designated in this action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the 

court from which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating 

Party’s permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking 

protection in that court of its confidential material – and nothing in these provisions should be 

construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this action to disobey a lawful 

directive from another court.

9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN THIS 

LITIGATION

(a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-Party in 

this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information produced by Non-Parties 

in connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. 

Nothing in these provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking 

additional protections. 

(b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce a NonParty’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement with 

the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall: 

(1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that 

some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a 

Non-Party; 

(2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Protective Order in this 

litigation, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of the 

information requested; and 

(3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party. 

(c) If the Non-Party fails to object or seek a protective order from this court within 14 

days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may produce 

the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-Party 

timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its 

possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before 

a determination by the court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the 

burden and expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material. 

10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL

If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected 

Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Protective Order, the Receiving 

Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b)

use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or 

persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, and (d) request 

such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached 

hereto as Exhibit A. 

11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED 

MATERIAL

When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain inadvertently produced 

material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties 

are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to 

modify whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production 

without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the 

parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or information covered by 

the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in 

the stipulated protective order submitted to the court. 

12. MISCELLANEOUS

12.1 Right to Further Relief

Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person to seek its modification by the court in 

the future. 

12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections

The entry of this Protective Order does not imply any Party’s waiver of any right it otherwise 

would have to object to disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in 

this Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of 

any of the material covered by this Protective Order. 

12.3 Filing Protected Material

Without written permission from the Designating Party or a court order secured after 

appropriate notice to all interested persons, a Party may not file in the public record in this action any 

Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected Material must comply with the 

applicable local rules. Protected Material may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order

authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at issue. A sealing order will issue only upon a 

request establishing that the Protected Material at issue is privileged, protectable as a trade secret, or 

otherwise entitled to protection under the law. If a Receiving Party's request to file Protected Material 

under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in the public record 

unless otherwise instructed by the court. 

13. FINAL DISPOSITION

Within 60 days after the final disposition of this action, as defined in paragraph 4, each 

Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As 

used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, 

summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. Whether the 

Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party must submit a written certification to 

the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day 

deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned 

or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, 

compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. 

Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion 

papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial 

exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such 

materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected 

Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION).
