Case No.: C06-05003 SBA 

STIPULATION AND PROTECTIVE 

ORDER REGARDING DOCUMENTS, 

THINGS, AND INFORMATION TO BE 

PRODUCED BY THE PARTIES FOR 

INSPECTION, COPYING AND USE IN 

THIS LITIGATION

Plaintiffs and Defendants (hereafter the “Parties”) will be producing certain materials 

and information in this action, either by request for production or through an initial disclosure in 

accordance with Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 26. 

 The Parties believe such documents, materials, and information are, in whole or in part, 

confidential, security sensitive and privileged because they contain information and references 

to medical and mental health records, substance abuse information, law enforcement and 

criminal justice records, and juveniles’ criminal and mental health records that should only be 

produced for inspection or copying under this protective order. 

 IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by the Parties, through their counsel, as follows: 

 1. All writings (as defined by Federal Rules of Evidence, Rule 1001), materials, and

information produced and designated “confidential” by the Parties (hereinafter referred to as 

“such writings, materials, or information”) shall be securely maintained and kept confidential in 

accordance with the terms of this stipulation and protective order. Any document designated 

confidential shall be marked “confidential.” The Parties and their counsel will act in good faith 

in designating the writings as “confidential” so as to comply with the requirements of Northern 

District Local Rule 79-5. If any Party, through their counsel, contend that any of the writings 

designated as “confidential” by an opposing party is not confidential, security sensitive or 

privileged, then that Party and/or counsel must make a proper and timely objection to opposing 

counsel, meet and confer in an effort to resolve the disagreement, and if the disagreement is not 

resolved after meeting and conferring, the party asserting confidentially shall bring the issue 

before the court for resolution. 

 2. Counsel for the Parties may as appropriate in this action show any such 

“confidential” writings, photographs, materials, or any copies, prints, negatives, listings or 

summaries to Parties to the action, witnesses, and experts or consultants employed by the Parties 

and retained in connection with this specific action. The Parties shall not give, show, publish, or 

otherwise divulge any such writings, photographs, materials or information, or the contents or 

substance thereof, or any copies, prints, negatives, listings or summaries, to any person or other 

entity except their employees, experts or consultants employed and retained in connection with 

this specific action. 

 3. The employees, experts or consultants of the Parties in this action to whom such 

writings, materials or information are intended to be presented, shall before such writings, 

materials or information are presented to them be given a copy of this stipulation and protective 

order and shall agree in writing to be bound by its terms. Counsel for the Parties shall maintain 

a signed acknowledgement of the persons receiving confidential material of having read this 

Stipulation and Protective Order and each signed acknowledgement shall be available for 

inspection by the court upon a showing of good cause. 

 4. All writings submitted to or filed with the court in connection with this action, which 

contain, set forth, summarize or otherwise refer to confidential documents, materials or

information or their contents, shall be filed with the court under seal pursuant to and in 

accordance with the procedures set forth in Northern District Local Rule 79-5. The confidential 

portions of the documents to be filed with the court shall be filed in sealed envelopes as set forth 

in Northern District Local Rule 79-5 which shall not be opened, nor the contents displayed or 

revealed to anyone except by express order of the court. The court and its employees and 

designated representatives are permitted to review the contents of such sealed items for the 

purpose of ruling on any matter before the court. 

 5. The Parties through their counsel, experts and consultants may only use the writings 

covered by this order and information contained in them solely in connection with this action, 

Case No. C06-05003 SBA. 

 6. This Stipulated Protective Order, insofar as it restricts the communication and use of 

Confidential Material, shall continue to be binding throughout and after the conclusion of this 

litigation, including any appeals. At the conclusion of this action, including all appeals, all 

Confidential Material shall be returned promptly to the Producing Party or destroyed, except 

that counsel for the Parties need not destroy or return any Confidential Material that became a 

part of the public record in this action (by use as a trial exhibit, inclusion in a Court filing, 

inclusion in the record of any appeal, or otherwise), or any material protected by a privilege, 

such as attorney work-product or attorney-client privilege, and except such Confidential 

Material which is submitted to the Court. If Confidential Material is destroyed pursuant to this 

paragraph, the Party destroying the Confidential Material shall certify in writing to the 

Producing Party that such destruction has taken place. 

 7. This Stipulated Protective Order, insofar as it restricts the communication and use of 

Confidential Material, shall not apply to the introduction of evidence at trial. However, any 

Party seeking to introduce Confidential Material at the time of trial shall exercise good faith in 

determining whether an appropriate Protective or Sealing Order should be requested to limit any 

unnecessary public disclosure of confidential information contained therein, particularly any 

identifying information of third party juveniles, and/or redact any unnecessary confidential 

information from the item of evidence sought to be introduced. Either Party may seek
