No. 2:11-CV-01653-JAM-CMK (“the Litigation”). BENSON is not a defendant in the 

Litigation. GOODWIN was named as a defendant, but all claims against GOODWIN asserted 

in the Litigation were previously dismissed with prejudice on November 11, 2011. 

WHEREAS, GOODWIN and BENSON assert that the RPD No. 4 seeks the 

production by CITY of certain private and confidential information of GOODWIN and 

BENSON, including mental health records, records relating to psychological and psychiatric 

testing, evaluations and reports as well as other private and confidential information; 

WHEREAS, GOODWIN and BENSON strongly oppose the inappropriate disclosure 

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

discovery in this matter, and wish 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 CITY will provide the documents to be 

produced by CITY in response to RPD No. 4 to GOODWIN and BENSON to allow 

GOODWIN and BENSON a “to determine the extent of the private and confidential 

information identified therein. 

WHEREAS, GOODWIN and BENSON desire a “first look” opportunity wherein 

CITY will produce the documents within its possession to GOODWIN and BENSON first as 

applicable, without producing the documents to the other Stipulating Parties, to allow for 

review and identification of confidential information, and redaction where necessary, provided 

that a privilege log is produced relating to any redactions. Stipulating Parties reserve their 

right to challenge any assertion of confidentiality and any redactions by GOODWIN or 

BENSON. 

WHEREAS, Stipulating Parties agree that the documents produced pursuant to the 

RPD No. 4 which are designated by GOODWIN or BENSON as “Confidential,” and 

Stipulating Parties’ use thereafter of the information and/or documents so designated, shall be 

governed by the provisions of this Stipulated Confidentiality Agreement and Proposed 

Case 2:11-cv-01653-JAM-CMK Document 41 Filed 11/18/13 Page 2 of 10

Stipulated Protective Order (the “Protective Order”). 

WHEREAS, by participating in this Stipulation, reviewing the documents to be 

produced pursuant to RFPD No. 4, designating certain documents as “Confidential,” and 

taking any other action as called for herein, GOODWIN and BENSON do not waive any 

rights, including their 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 information produced pursuant to RFPD No. 4, 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 as any information or 

document referring or relating to GOODWIN or BENSON to be produced by CITY in 

response to RPD No. 4 that GOODWIN or BENSON believes in good faith contains or reflects 

any of the following: 

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

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

contact or personal information regarding GOODWIN, BENSON or any of their family 

members; 

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

(c) 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 and “First Look” Opportunity. Stipulating 

Parties agree that GOODWIN and BENSON will have a “first look” opportunity to review the 

Case 2:11-cv-01653-JAM-CMK Document 41 Filed 11/18/13 Page 3 of 10

records to be produced by CITY in response to RPD No. 4. GOODWIN and BENSON 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. 

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

Confidential Material does not, standing alone, waive GOODWIN’s or BENSON’s right to 

secure protection under this Protective Order for such material. If information or material is 

designated by GOODWIN or BENSON 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 BENSON (as applicable depending on whether the 

Confidential Material applies to GOODWIN or BENSON), 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; 

(h) persons who have been retained by any Stipulating Party (or by its/their 

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

experts, to the extent reasonably necessary and only for the purpose of conducting or assisting 

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 or BENSON (as applicable) 

and request that the Third Party meet and confer with GOODWIN or BENSON (as applicable) 

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 or BENSON (as applicable), 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 or BENSON 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 and/or BENSON (as applicable) 

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 and/or BENSON 

(as applicable) 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 and/or BENSON (as 

applicable) 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 or BENSON (as applicable) in writing of its objection that a portion 

or all of the information or document designed by GOODWIN or BENSON (as applicable) 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 and/or BENSON (as applicable). 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 and/or BENSON (as applicable), 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. 

13. 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. 

14. 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. 

15. 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.
