Case No.: C 02-1512 JSW

AMENDED STIPULATION FOR

PROTECTIVE ORDER AND

CONFIDENTIALITY OF

DOCUMENTS ACQUIRED DURING

DISCOVERY AND ORDER

Subject to the approval of this Court, the parties, by and through their attorneys of

record herein, hereby stipulate to the following Protective Order:

1. Good cause existing, the above entitled Court shall enter a Protective Order.

2. This Order shall apply to any document, thing, material, testimony or other

information derived therefrom, designated as “Confidential” under the terms of this

Stipulated Protective Order (hereinafter “Order”), including but not limited to documents

produced (other than documents already in the public domain), answers to interrogatories,

responses to requests for admissions and deposition testimony, submitted by or obtained

from D. Bradley or the Alameda County Sheriff’s Department.

3. County asserts confidential information consists of information that has not been

made public and which concerns or relates to the processes, operations, type or work, the

disclosure of which information may have the effect of jeopardizing the health and safety

of County personnel as well as interfering with the County’s operation of its correctional

facilities.

4. The term “DOCUMENT “ includes writings, prints, magnetic images, computer

data, exhibits, answers to interrogatories, responses to requests for admissions, and

deposition transcripts produced or created unilaterally, or by request of any party to this

action.

5. 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 multipage document shall designate all pages of

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

6. Testimony taken at a deposition, conference, hearing or trial may be designated as

Confidential by making a statement to that effect on the record at the deposition or other

proceeding. Arrangements shall be made with the court reporter taking and transcribing

such proceeding to separately bind such portions of the transcript containing information

designated as confidential, and to label such portions appropriately.

7. Material designated as Confidential under this Order, the information contained

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

part from material designated as Confidential (hereinafter “Confidential Material”) shall

be used only for the purpose of the prosecution, defense, or settlement of this action, and

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) a party, or an officer, director, or employee of a party deemed necessary by

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

(b) experts or consultants (together with their clerical staff) retained by such

(e) 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 nondisclosure agreement in the

form of Attachment A, a copy of which shall be provided forthwith to counsel for each

other party and for the parties.

9. Depositions shall be taken only in the presence of qualified persons.

10. The parties may further designate certain discovery material or testimony of a

highly confidential and/or proprietary nature as “CONFIDENTIAL—ATTORNEY’S

EYES ONLY” (hereinafter “Attorney’s Eyes Only Material”), in the manner described in

paragraphs 2 and 3 above. Attorney’s Eyes Only Material, and the information contained

therein, shall be disclosed only to the Court, to counsel for the parties (including the

paralegal, clerical, and secretarial staff employed by such counsel), and to the “qualified

persons” listed in subparagraphs 7(b) through (e) above, but shall not be disclosed to a

party, or to an officer, director or employee of a party, unless otherwise agreed or ordered.

If disclosure of Attorney’s Eyes Only Material is made pursuant to this paragraph, all

other provisions in the order with respect to confidentiality shall also apply.

11. 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.

12. If Confidential Material, including any portion of a deposition transcript

designated as Confidential or Attorney’s Eyes Only, 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. Prior to filing any Confidential Material, the

parties must obtain a court order authorizing the document to be sealed under Civil Local

Rules 79-5 and 7-11.

13. In the event that any Confidential Material is used in any court proceeding in this

action, it shall not lose its confidential status through such use, and the party using such

shall take all reasonable steps to maintain its confidentiality during such use.

14. This Order shall be without prejudice to the right of the parties (I) to bring before

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

confidential or whether its use should be restricted or (ii) to present a motion to the Court

under FRCP 26(c) for a separate protective order as to any particular document or

information, including restrictions differing 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.

15. This Order is entered solely for the purpose of facilitating the exchange of

documents and information between the parties to this action without involving the Court

unnecessarily in the process. Nothing in this Order nor the production of any information

or document under the terms of this Order nor any proceedings pursuant to the Order shall

be deemed to have the effect of any admission or waiver by either party or of altering the

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

existing obligation of any party or the absence thereof.

16. 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. Upon termination of this case, counsel for the parties

shall assemble and return to each other all documents, material and deposition transcripts

designated as confidential and all copies of same, or shall certify the destruction thereof.

17. Any violation of the Protective Order shall be punishable by contempt of court

and such additional and further remedies as may be available.
