Case No.: C06-04891 RS 

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS 

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

confidential, security sensitive, or private information for which special protection from public 

disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation would be 

warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter the 

following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer 

blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords 

extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled under the applicable legal 

principles to treatment as confidential Prior to the entry of a Protective Order, counsel for Santa 

Cruz provided a copy of the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office Internal Affairs and Criminal 

Investigation report to plaintiff’s counsel, Mr. Andrew Schwartz, pursuant to a written

agreement date February 23, 2006, to maintain the confidentiality of the contents of the 

disclosed documentation in accordance with a court issued protective order. The parties agree 

this request for a protective order is therefore applicable to that prior, pre-litigation disclosure. 

(Binder marked “CONFIDENTIAL” with documents bates number 000001 to 000578). 

The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 10, below, that this Stipulated 

Protective Order creates no entitlement to file confidential information under seal; Civil Local 

Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and reflects the standards that will be 

applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file material under seal. 

2. DEFINITIONS 

2.1 Party: any party to this action, including all of its officers, directors, employees, 

consultants, retained experts, and outside counsel (and their support staff). 

2.2 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless of the 

medium or manner generated, stored, or maintained (including, among other things, testimony, 

transcripts, or tangible things) that are produced or generated in disclosures or responses to 

discovery in this matter. 

2.3 “Confidential” Information or Items: information (regardless of how generated, 

stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for protection under standards developed 

under F.R.Civ.P. 26(c). 

2.4 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material from a 

Producing Party. 

2.5 Producing Party: a Party or non-party that produces Disclosure or Discovery 

Material in this action. 

2.6 Designating Party: a Party or non-party that designates information or items that 

it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as "Confidential." 

2.7 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is designated as 

"Confidential." 

2.8 Outside Counsel: attorneys who are not employees of a Party but who are 

retained to represent or advise a Party in this action.

2.9 House Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a Party. 

2.10 Counsel (without qualifier): Outside Counsel and House Counsel (as well as 

their support staffs). 

2.11 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter pertinent 

to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as an expert witness or 

as a consultant in this action and who is not a past or a current employee of a Party. 

2.12 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation support services 

(e.g., photocopying; videotaping; translating; preparing exhibits or demonstrations; organizing, 

storing, retrieving data in any form or medium; etc.) and their employees and subcontractors. 

3. SCOPE 

The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only Protected 

Material (as defined above), but also any information copied or extracted therefrom, as well as 

all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations thereof, plus testimony, conversations, or 

presentations by parties or counsel to or in court or in other settings that might reveal Protected 

Material. 

4. DURATION 

Even after the termination 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. 

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. A Designating Party must take care to 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 Party's or a non-party's attention that information or items that it 

designated for protection do not qualify for protection at all, or do not qualify for the level of 

protection initially asserted, that Party or non-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, 

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 (apart from transcripts of depositions or 

other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party affix the legend "CONFIDENTIAL" 

on 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) and must specify, for each 

portion, that part "CONFIDENTIAL." 

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 appropriate legend "CONFIDENTIAL." on 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) and must specify, for each portion, that portion as 

"CONFIDENTIAL." 

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

Party or non-party offering or sponsoring the testimony identify on the record, before the close 

of the deposition, hearing, or other proceeding, all protected testimony, and further specify any 

portions of the testimony that qualify as "CONFIDENTIAL." When it is impractical to identify 

separately each portion of testimony that is entitled to protection, and when it appears that 

substantial portions of the testimony may qualify for protection, the Party or non-party that 

sponsors, offers, or gives the testimony may invoke on the record (before the deposition or 

proceeding is concluded) a right to have up to 30 days to identify the specific portions of the 

testimony as to which confidentiality protection is sought. Only those portions of the testimony 

that are appropriately designated for protection within the 30 days shall be covered by the 

provisions of this Stipulated Protective Order. 

Transcript pages containing Protected Material must be separately bound by the 

court reporter, who must affix to the top of each such page the legend "CONFIDENTIAL" as 

instructed by the Party or non-party offering or sponsoring the witness or presenting the 

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 portions of the information or item warrant protection, the 

Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the protected portions. 

5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to 

designate qualified information or items as "Confidential" does not, standing alone, waive the 

Designating Party's right to secure protection under this Order for such material. If material is 

appropriately designated as "Confidential" after the material was initially produced, the 

Receiving Party, on timely notification of the designation, 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. Unless a prompt challenge to a Designating Party's 

confidentiality designation is necessary to avoid foreseeable substantial unfairness, unnecessary 

economic burdens, or a later significant disruption or delay of the litigation, a Party does not 

waive its right to challenge a confidentiality designation by electing not to mount a challenge 

promptly after the original designation is disclosed. 

6.2 Meet and Confer. A Party that elects to initiate a challenge to a Designating 

Party's confidentiality designation must do so in good faith and must begin the process by 

conferring directly (in voice to voice dialogue; other forms of communication are not sufficient) 

with counsel for the Designating Party. 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. 

6.3 Judicial Intervention. A Party that elects to press a challenge to a confidentiality 

designation after considering the justification offered by the Designating Party may file and 

serve a motion under Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5, if 

applicable) that identifies the challenged material and sets forth in detail the basis for the 

challenge. Each such motion must be accompanied by a competent declaration that affirms that 

the movant has complied with the meet and confer requirements imposed in the preceding 

paragraph and that sets forth with specificity the justification for the confidentiality designation 

that was given by the Designating Party in the meet and confer dialogue. 

The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the Designating 

Party. Until the court rules on the challenge, 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. 

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 11, 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 Counsel in this action, as well as employees of said 

Counsel as well as professional vendors as defined in this order to whom it is reasonably 

necessary to disclose the information for this litigation; 

(b) experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is 

reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the "Agreement to Be Bound by 

Protective Order" (Exhibit A); 

(c) the Court and its personnel; 

(d) court reporters, their staffs, and professional vendors to whom disclosure is 

reasonably necessary for this litigation. 

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

reasonably necessary. 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 Stipulated Protective Order. 

(f) the author of the document or the original source of the information. 

8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN 

OTHER LITIGATION.

If a Receiving Party is served with a subpoena or an order issued in other litigation that 

would compel disclosure of any information or items designated in this action as

"CONFIDENTIAL" the Receiving Party must so notify the Designating Party, in writing (by 

fax, if possible) immediately and in no event more than 5 court days after receiving the 

subpoena or order. Such notification must include a copy of the subpoena or court order. 

The Receiving Party also must immediately inform in writing the Party who caused the 

subpoena or order to issue in the other litigation that some or all the material covered by the 

subpoena or order is the subject of this Protective Order. In addition, the Receiving Party must 

deliver a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order promptly to the Party in the other action that 

caused the subpoena or order to issue. 

The purpose of imposing these duties is to alert the interested parties to the existence of 

this Protective Order and to afford the Designating Party in this case an opportunity to try to 

protect its confidentiality interests in the court from which the subpoena or order issued. The 

Designating Party shall bear the burdens and the expenses 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. 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 Stipulated 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 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. 

10. 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 Civil Local Rule 79-5.

11. FINAL DISPOSITION.

Unless otherwise ordered or agreed in writing by the Producing Party, within sixty days 

after the final termination of this action, each Receiving Party must return all Protected Material 

to the Producing Party. As used in this subdivision, "all Protected Material" includes all copies, 

abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other form of reproducing or capturing any of the 

Protected Material. With permission in writing from the Designating Party, the Receiving Party 

may destroy some or all of the Protected Material instead of returning it. 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 sixty day 

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

returned or destroyed and that affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, 

abstracts, compilations, summaries or other forms of reproducing or capturing any of the 

Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival 

copy of all pleadings, motion papers, transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence or attorney 

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
