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 DG et

al v. County of Kern et al., USDC Eastern District of California Case No.1:15-CV-00706 JAM-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 items that 

are entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. As set forth in Section 12.3, 

below, this Protective Order does not entitle the parties to file confidential information under seal. 

2. DEFINITIONS

 2.1 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the designation of information or 

items under this Order. 

2.2 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information (regardless of how it is generated, 

stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for protection under Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 26(c). 

2.3 Counsel (without qualifier): Outside Counsel of Record and House Counsel (as well as 

their support staff). 

2.4 Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates information or items that it 

produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as “CONFIDENTIAL.” 

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

manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, among other things, testimony, 

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

in this matter.

that party or are affiliated with a law firm which has appeared on behalf of that party.

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

“CONFIDENTIAL.” 

2.14 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material from a Producing

(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

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 defenses in this 

action, with or without prejudice; and (2) final judgment herein after the completion 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 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 as required by the 

scheduling order (Doc. 85 at 5, Headnote VI). 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), unlessotherwise 

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 

whose 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 withthis 

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 Non-Party’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 attorneyclient 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
