STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] 

PROTECTIVE ORDER

The parties to the above captioned action hereby stipulate by and through their 

undersigned counsel of record as follows:

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 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). 

This Stipulation and Protective Order incorporates the Stipulations and Protective 

Orders previously entered into in the Phelan v. Brentwood Union School District, Case 

No. C 12-00465 (LB) and Guerrero, et al v Brentwood Union School District litigation (C13-03873-LB) which remain in full force and effect except to the extent that information

has become part of the public domain pursuant to Section 3 below. 

In addition, the parties agree that the following information or items are deemed 

“CONFIDENTIAL” and as such shall not be disclosed to any individuals not listed in 

paragraph 7.2 of this Stipulation and Order:

(a) All documents and information derived there from and deemed 

CONFIDENTIAL in the Phelan v. Brentwood Union School District and Guerrero 

v. Brentwood Union School District litigation; and

other things, testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced or generated 

in disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter.

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

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

2.12 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.

2.13 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is 

designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” 

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

from a Producing Party.

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, 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” 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 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 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.

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 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” 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 NonParty in this action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” 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 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 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

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.

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

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. By stipulating to the entry of this 

Protective Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to 

disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this 

Stipulated 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 Civil Local Rule 79-5. 

Protected Material may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the 

sealing of the specific Protected Material at issue. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5, 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 

pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(d) is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party 

may file the information in the public record pursuant to Civil Local Rule 79-5(e) 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 Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute 

Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4
