counsel, that the following shall govern the disclosure of Protected Information in this action, 

subject to the approval of, or as otherwise ordered by, the Court: 

1. Any information recorded in any form or any portion thereof, constituting trade 

secrets, personal information, and policies and procedures implicating public safety which, in the 

good faith opinion of the party or third party providing such information or discovery or to which 

that information belongs (the “producing party”), and which the producing party regards in good 

faith as Protected Information may be so designated by the producing party by labeling each such 

page of each such document or information as “Confidential” or “Confidential – Attorneys Only” 

as detailed in paragraph 2. 

2. As used in this Order, the following terms include: 

(a) The term “CONFIDENTIAL” as used in this order is to include only 

information that a party reasonably believes and objectively contains confidentially maintained 

and protected from disclosure including trade secrets or personal information (financial, 

employment, disciplinary and medical information) or other information implicating public safety. 

(b) The term “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS ONLY” as used in this order is to 

include only information which the producing party reasonably believes and objectively contains 

highly sensitive security information or other information that could lead to the harm of another if 

it becomes known to anyone other than the disclosing party. 

(c) The term “Protected Information” shall include all terms defined in this 

paragraph, but shall not include information publicly available. 

3. Any Protected Information shall not be disclosed to anyone except as provided 

herein, and shall be used only for the purposes of this litigation. 

4. In lieu of marking as CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS ONLY, the 

original of a document which contains Protected Information prior to inspection, counsel for the 

producing party may orally designate such documents being produced for inspection as containing 

Protected Information, thereby making them subject to this Order; however, in the event inspecting 

counsel requests copies of any such documents, such copies must be marked Confidential or 

Confidential – Attorney’s Only by the producing party in order to make such copies subject to this

Court, after notice to all parties or any such other persons as to whom both parties may agree in 

writing.

6. Protected Information designated as CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS ONLY shall not 

be given, shown, made available or communicated in any way to any person described in 

paragraph 5(c) above. 

7. In the event that counsel for a party deems it necessary to disclose any Protected 

Information to any person not a Qualified Person, said counsel shall notify counsel for the 

producing party in writing of the Protected Information to be disclosed, and shall attempt to reach 

agreement regarding such disclosure. If agreement cannot be reached, the party seeking to make 

the disclosure shall move the Court to rule as to whether such disclosure may be made and whether 

any restrictions or limitations should be placed on such disclosure, and the disclosure shall not be 

made until that motion is decided and the Court so orders. 

8. Nothing in this order shall prohibit a party’s counsel from showing a testifying 

witness or an expert Protected Information during the course of a deposition, hearing, or trial. 

Prior to being provided access to any Protected Information, all non-party witnesses must execute 

the undertaking attached hereto as Exhibit “A” or orally agree to its contents on the record during 

deposition, hearing or trial. Should a witness refuse to execute the undertaking or refuse to orally 

agree to its contents on the record during a deposition, hearing or trial, the questioning party may 

disclose the Protected Information without penalty or breach of this protective order, but 

notwithstanding its disclosure the Protected Information will remain governed by the terms of this 

protective order. 

9. Nothing in this order shall bar or otherwise restrict any attorney herein from 

rendering advice to his or her client with respect to this litigation and in the course thereof, 

referring to or relying upon his or her examination of Protected Information; provided, however, 

that in rendering such advice and in otherwise communicating with his or her clients, the attorney 

shall not disclose the content of any Protected Information in violation of the provisions herein.

10. Third party discovery in this proceeding may involve disclosure of Protected 

Information which, if designated in conformity with the provisions of this Order, shall be subject

to the provisions herein and provide the non-party with all of the rights and obligations set forth 

herein. 

11. In the event that a producing party inadvertently fails to designate Protected 

Information or incorrectly so designates information, or in the event that any other person or party 

learns of the disclosure of information it deems to be Protected Information, that party or person 

may make a late designation or change the designation by so notifying in writing all parties to 

whom the Protected Information has been disclosed. The receiving parties shall take reasonable 

steps to ensure that the Protected Information is thereafter treated in accordance with the 

designation. Reasonably late designation shall not, by itself, be deemed a waiver of the Protected 

status of the designated information. No person or party shall incur any liability hereunder with 

respect to disclosure that occurred prior to the receipt of written notice of belated designation. 

12. Counsel shall not disclose Protected Information to a witness testifying at a 

deposition except in conformity with the provisions of this Order. However, the sole remedy for 

disclosure of protected information not in conformity of this order shall be an order requiring that 

the information be treated as protected information. No such disclosure shall be made to any 

witness unless that witness is entitled by this Order to receive that Protected Information or the 

party that produced that Protected Information assents to the disclosure of such Protected 

Information in writing or on the record of the deposition. If, during the course of any deposition, 

(a) an attorney of record for any party desires to make inquiry into Protected Information subject to 

the designation CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL –ATTORNEYS ONLY or (b) an attorney of 

record for a party asserts that an answer to a specific inquiry is subject to the foregoing 

designations, the attorney shall make such inquiry only in the presence of those persons authorized 

access to such Protected Information. Such testimony shall be sealed, and the parties hereto shall 

treat it subject to the provision for disclosure set forth herein. 

13. Testimony or information disclosed at a deposition may be designated by the 

producing party as Protected Information by indicating on the record at the deposition the specific 

testimony which contains Protected Information that is to be made subject to the provisions of this 

Order. All testimony elicited during depositions, hearings, and other proceedings shall be deemed

ORDER RE CONFIDENTIALITY

CASE NO. C-03-4727 SBA (PR) 

CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL - ATTORNEYS ONLY until the expiration of 15 days after 

delivery of a copy of the transcript of the testimony by the court reporter to counsel who requested 

a copy of the transcript. This paragraph will not otherwise affect the deposition, hearing or other 

proceeding that is being recorded while it is in session. Within the 15 day period following 

delivery of the transcript, any party may, by written notice served on all parties, designate all or 

any portion of the testimony to be CONFIDENTIAL or CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS ONLY. The 

right to make such designation shall be waived unless made before the end of the 15 day period. 

Upon being informed that certain portions of a transcript are designated as CONFIDENTIAL or 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS ONLY, each party must cause each copy in their custody, 

possession or control to be so marked immediately. 

14. Interrogatory answers and answers to requests for admissions designated as 

Protected Information shall be delivered to the attorney of record propounding the interrogatories 

or requests without being filed with the Court unless required in any further proceedings herein. 

When documents so designated and/or other matters of the same or similar nature are the subject 

of inquiry at depositions, the portion of the transcript which sets forth or contains Protected 

Information, together with such documents, shall be sealed and shall not be filed with the Court 

unless required in any further proceedings herein. 

15. No Protected Information will be filed with the Court by the receiving party unless 

it is filed under seal. A party seeking to file Protected information with the court shall make every 

effort required under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the applicable local rules to file that 

information under seal. Protected Information must be filed in sealed containers labeled with: (1) 

the title to this action; (2) the general nature of the contents; (3) the words CONFIDENTIAL or 

CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS ONLY; and (4) a statement substantially in the following form: 

CONFIDENTIAL - SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE ORDER. This sealed 

container filed in this case, Richard Carrasco v. Officer Campagna, 

et. al., United States District Court, Northern District of California 

Case No. C 03-4727 SBA (PR), contains confidential materials, 

which may be used only in connection with the prosecution or 

defense of this lawsuit. Pursuant to Stipulated Protective Order, the 

container shall not be opened nor the contents thereof revealed 

except to the Court. After any such opening or revelation, the 

container shall be resealed with the contents inside.

ORDER RE CONFIDENTIALITY

CASE NO. C-03-4727 SBA (PR) 

16. The designation by counsel for the disclosing party of any Protected Information is 

intended solely to facilitate the preparation and trial of this case, and such designation shall not be 

construed in any way as an admission or agreement by any party that the designated disclosure 

constitutes or contains any Protected Information in contemplation of law. This Order shall not be 

construed as a waiver by the parties hereto of any objection which might be raised as to the 

admissibility of any evidentiary material. 

17. Each party agrees that designation of Protected Information and responses to 

requests to permit further disclosure of Protected Information shall be made in good faith and not 

(1) to impose burden or delay on an opposing party, or (2) for tactical or other advantage in 

litigation. 

18. The protection afforded by this Order shall in no way affect a party’s or non-party’s 

right to withhold documents as privileged under the attorney-client or other privilege or as 

otherwise exempted from discovery under Rule 26. 

19. Within sixty (60) days of the final disposition of this action, whether by judgment 

(including exhaustion of all appeals), settlement or otherwise, each attorney of record shall 

promptly deliver to the party or witness from whom obtained either (1) all items which have been 

marked Protected and all copies made thereof or, at the election of the producing party, (2) an 

affidavit sworn under penalty of perjury declaring that all such items and all copies thereof have 

been destroyed. However, the law firm of each attorney of record may retain record copies of any 

items filed with the Court, as well as correspondence, pleadings and all exhibits thereto, including 

motions, discovery documents, and deposition transcripts subject to the terms of this Order. 

20. Upon the conclusion of this litigation and either (i) the expiration of the time to file 

a notice of appeal, if no appeal is filed, or (ii) if an appeal was filed, the filing of the mandate or 

final order from the Court of Appeals if the case is not reopened is a result of the terms of the 

mandate or order, all Protected Information field under seal with the Court shall be returned to the 

party that filed it, provided that if the person to whom it is to be returned fails to remove the 

Protected Information after notice, it shall be destroyed to the extent allowed under the Local Civil

CASE NO. C-03-4727 SBA (PR) 

Rules of this Court. 

21. A party shall not be obligated to challenge the propriety of a Protected Information 

designation at the time made, and a failure to do so shall not preclude any subsequent challenge. If 

a party desires to object to the designation of Protected Information, it shall serve the designating 

party a list of the information it deems not properly designated as Protected Information (the 

“Contested Information”). The designating party shall then have 15 days to file a motion for 

protective order moving the court to have the contested information designated as Protected 

Information under the terms of this protective order. Failure to file a motion for protective order 

as to any of the “Contested Information” within 15 days shall render that information not Protected 

Information. 

22. Nothing herein shall prevent disclosure beyond the term of this Order if the party 

designating the Protected Information consents in writing to such disclosure, or if the Court, after 

notice to all affected parties, orders such disclosure. If a recipient of Protected Information is 

requested to produce such Protected Information by subpoena, the receiving party shall 

immediately notify counsel for the producing party by facsimile, and the receiving party shall not 

disclose any such Protected Information to a third party without providing the producing party a 

reasonable period of time to object to such disclosure prior to disclosing the subpoenaed 

information. 

23. In the event anyone shall violate, or threaten to violate, any terms of this Order, the 

parties hereto agree that the aggrieved party may immediately apply to obtain injunctive relief 

against any such person, and in the event the aggrieved party shall do so, the respondent person, 

subject to the provisions of this Order, shall not employ as a defense thereto or claim that the 

aggrieved party possesses an adequate remedy at law. Each person to whom disclosure of any 

Protected Information is made agrees to subject himself/herself to the jurisdiction of this Court in 

which this action is pending for the purpose of proceedings relating to the performance under, 

compliance with, or violation of this Protective Order.

24. This Protective Order shall remain in force and effect indefinitely until modified, 

superseded or terminated by Order of this Court, which may be entered pursuant to agreement of
