UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DAISHA MATTHEWS,

Plaintiff,

v.

GOODLEAP, LLC, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 2:24-cv-01684-WBS-CSK

ORDER GRANTING MODIFIED 

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

(ECF No. 18)

The Court has reviewed the parties’ stipulated protective order below (ECF No. 

18), and finds it comports with the relevant authorities and the Court’s Local Rule. See

L.R. 141.1. The Court APPROVES the protective order, subject to the following 

clarification. 

The Court’s Local Rules indicate that once an action is closed, it “will not retain 

jurisdiction over enforcement of the terms of any protective order filed in that action.” L.R. 

141.1(f); see Bylin Heating Sys., Inc. v. Thermal Techs., Inc., 2012 WL 13237584, at *2 

(E.D. Cal. Oct. 29, 2012) (noting that courts in the district generally do not retain 

jurisdiction for disputes concerning protective orders after closure of the case). Thus, the 

Court will not retain jurisdiction over this protective order once the case is closed.

[PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE

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

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

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.

Material at trial shall be governed by a separate agreement or order. 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) may 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 inapplicable 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).

28 

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 consistent with any Court scheduling order. 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. Consistent with all requirements set forth in Local Rule 251 et seq., 

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 21 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. 

If the parties are unable to resolve any disputes pursuant to the above-referenced meet and 

confer process consistent with Local Rule 251, the parties shall file a Joint Statement re Discovery 

Disagreement pursuant to Local Rule 251. 

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, 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;

(b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the Receiving Party 

to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation; 

(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; 

(f) 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); 

(g) 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.

(h) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a custodian or other

person who otherwise possessed or knew the information. 

(i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, mutually agreed 

upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions. 

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 Non-Party 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 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 NonParty’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. 

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. A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected Material 

must comply with Civil Local Rule 141. 

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

Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION). 

14. VIOLATION

Any violation of this Order may be punished by any and all appropriate measures including, 

without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary sanctions.
