[Proposed] Stipulated Protective Order (C 15-01769 (PR))

use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may 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 from public disclosure and

use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment

under the applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section

12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential

information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and

the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file material

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 “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Information or Items:

information (regardless of how it is generated, stored, or maintained) or tangible things that a

Party has designated in good faith to be confidential and for attorneys’ eyes only. The criteria for

such designation shall be whether the Party has a good-faith belief that the information is entitled

to protection from disclosure to non-attorneys, because such information threatens the safety of

individuals or inmates, or threatens the safety and security of a prison. “Attorneys” shall be

limited to the counsel of record in this case, their support staff, and Expert(s).

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

as their support staff).

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

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

“CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.”

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

Counsel does not include Outside Counsel of Record or any other outside counsel.

2.9 Non-Party: any natural person, partnership, corporation, association, or other legal

entity not named as a Party to this action.

but are retained to represent or advise a Party to this action and have appeared in this action on

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

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

consultants, retained experts, and Outside Counsel of Record (and their support staffs).

2.12 Producing Party: a Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or Discovery

Material in this action.

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

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

organizing, storing, or retrieving data in any form or medium) and their employees and

subcontractors.

“CONFIDENTIAL” or “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.”

[Proposed] Stipulated Protective Order (C 15-01769 (PR))

3. SCOPE

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

(as defined above), but also (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 their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material.

However, the protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order do not cover the following

information: (a) any information that is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to a

Receiving Party or becomes part of the public domain after its disclosure to a Receiving 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,

[Proposed] Stipulated Protective Order (C 15-01769 (PR))

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, that 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” or “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES

ONLY” 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” or “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” 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” or

“CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” 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 or Non-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, 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. 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 without court

intervention, the Designating Party shall file and serve a motion to retain confidentiality under

Civil Local Rule 7 (and in compliance with Civil Local Rule 79-5, if applicable) within 21 days

of the initial notice of challenge or within 14 days of the parties agreeing that the meet and confer

process will not resolve their dispute, whichever is earlier. Each such motion must be

accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet

and confer requirements imposed in the preceding paragraph. Failure by the Designating Party to

make such a motion including the required declaration within 21 days (or 14 days, if applicable)

shall automatically waive the confidentiality designation for each challenged designation. In

addition, the Challenging Party may file a motion challenging a confidentiality designation at any

time if there is good cause for doing so, including a challenge to the designation of a deposition

transcript or any portions thereof. Any motion brought pursuant to this provision must be

accompanied by a competent declaration affirming that the movant has complied with the meet

and confer requirements imposed by the preceding paragraph.

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

Party. 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. Unless the Designating Party has waived the confidentiality designation by failing to

file a motion to retain confidentiality as described above, 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 and Experts 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),

unless otherwise 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

Stipulated 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.

In disclosing information or items designated “CONFIDENTIAL” in the manner set forth

above, the Receiving Party must ensure that the Protected Material is not retained or available for

retention by Plaintiff David Scott Peasley, members of Plaintiff’s family, friends or associates of

Plaintiff, or to any other inmate, parolee, or person previously in the custody of CDCR or any of

their relatives, friends, associates, or the public.

7.3 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Information or

items. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party,

Counsel for the Receiving Party may not disclose any information or item designated

“CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” to Plaintiff David Scott Peasley, members

of Plaintiff’s family, friends or associates of Plaintiff, or to any other inmate, parolee, or person

previously in the custody of CDCR or any of their relatives, friends, associates, or the public.

Unless otherwise ordered by the Court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, only

Counsel and Expert(s) for the Receiving Party may have access to and review any information or

item designated “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” Staff employed by Counsel

and Expert(s) retained by the Receiving Party will not disclose any item or information

designated “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” or make copies of any item or

information so designated, except as necessary for this litigation. Counsel is responsible for

ensuring that their staff and Expert(s) comply with this Order.

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” or

“CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” 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 Stipulated 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”

or “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” 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” or “CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES

ONLY.” Such information produced by Non-Parties in connection with this 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 NonParty’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 Stipulated 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 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 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.

In the event that the Receiving Party believes that documents labeled “CONFIDENTIAL –

ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” have been viewed or obtained by persons other than Counsel of

Record and their support staff, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the

Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) identify the person or persons to whom

disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, and (d) use its best efforts to retrieve all

unauthorized copies of the Protected Material.

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 attorney-client privilege or work product

protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order

submitted to the court.

12. MISCELLANEOUS

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
