GOOD CAUSE APPEARING, the parties stipulate, though their attorneys of record, to the 

entry of an order as follows: 

1. The following procedures shall be employed and the following terms, conditions, and 

restrictions shall govern with respect to all discovery produced and disclosed by parties in this 

proceeding, including all information contained in writings and documents (as broadly defined by 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 34), video and audio recordings, deposition testimony, deposition 

exhibits, interrogatory responses, and other written, recorded, or graphic matters including electronic 

databases (the “Discovery Material”). 

2. This Confidentiality Order shall govern all Discovery Material containing information 

that the designating or producing party considers in good faith to be or to contain Confidential 

Material, and such designating or producing party shall be stamped or otherwise designate such 

Discovery Material “Confidential.” 

3. Such Confidential Material shall include, without limitation: all Discovery Material 

containing peace officer personnel information; all Discovery Material related to any complaints or 

claims made against or about any employee of the City ad County of San Francisco (the "City") 

produced by Defendants; all Discovery Material related to personnel records of any City employee 

produced by Defendants; any Office of Citizen Complaints ("OCC") or Management Control 

Division ("MCD") records produced by Defendants; any squad assignments or rosters and 

memoranda related thereto produced by Defendants; and Plaintiff's San Francisco General Hospital 

Records and San Francisco County Jail Medical Records. 

4. Any Confidential Material produced in this action, including the information contained 

therein, and any summaries, copies, abstracts or other documents derived in whole or in part from 

such information shall be used only for the prosecution, defense or settlement of this action. Except 

by order of the Court, material produced or disclosed in this case shall not be used by any party other 

than the party providing documents (“Producing Party”) for any other purpose, including, without 

limitation, any business or commercial purpose. Any party receiving documents (“Receiving Party”), 

agrees to inform the Producing Party in the event a third-party requests Confidential Material from 

the Receiving Party.

5. Confidential Material shall be made available only to the Parties; counsel of record 

engaged for the preparation for trial or any other proceeding in this action, including attorneys, 

secretaries, paralegals, and all other staff of such counsel; consultants and experts retained by the 

Parties or their counsel to consult or testify in the case; and other deponents or trial witnesses whom 

counsel in good faith believe may serve as fact witnesses either at deposition or trial and whose 

testimony requires that Confidential Material be disclosed to such witnesses. 

6. The persons receiving such documents or information shall use them solely for the 

purpose of this litigation. Confidential Material may be disclosed to persons only to the extent 

necessary for the preparation or trial of this case. Confidential Material shall not be disclosed directly 

or indirectly to any other person other than as provided in this Order, except by agreement of the 

Producing Party. Unauthorized disclosure of the substance, a summary, or any portion of a 

confidential document constitutes a violation of this Order. 

7. In the event that any Confidential Material is disclosed to anyone beyond the scope of 

that permitted by this Order, whether by agreement or subsequent order, each person receiving such 

disclosure shall be shown a copy of this Order and shall sign a statement agreeing to be bound by this 

Order. This Order is enforceable in contempt proceedings. 

8. Any briefs, transcripts, exhibits, depositions, or documents which are filed or lodged 

with the Court which comprise, embody, summarize, discuss, or quote from Confidential Material 

shall be lodged and/or filed consistent with the procedures outlined in Local Rule 79-5, unless the 

Court otherwise orders. 

9. Nothing in this Order shall be deemed to: (1) limit or waive any right of any party to 

resist or compel discovery with respect to documents or other material which may be claimed to be 

privileged or otherwise protected or protectable; (2) preclude any party at any time from seeking and 

obtaining from the court, on an appropriate showing, additional protection, including an order that 

material shall not be produced at all; or (3) constitute a ruling on the admissibility of any documents 

or other material as evidence in this action. 

10. All documents covered by this Order and copies thereof will be returned to the 

Producing Party at the termination of this litigation. On final disposition of this case, the Receiving

Party's counsel shall within one month after the final disposition of this case, without request or 

further order of this Court, return all Information to the Producing Party's counsel of record in this 

matter. The provisions of this Order, insofar as they restrict the communication and use of the 

documents or information covered by this Order, shall, without written permission of the Producing 

Party or further order of the court, continue to be binding after the conclusion of the action. 

11. Should the Receiving Party fail to comply with this agreement, such party and its 

counsel could be liable for all costs associated with enforcing this agreement, including but not 

limited to all attorney fees in amounts to be determined by the court. 

12. Nothing in this agreement shall prevent a Receiving Party from seeking a court order 

challenging the confidential material designation by the Producing Party of these documents.
