Plaintiff Armando Olvera and Defendants City of Modesto, Modesto Police Department, Mark

Ulrich, Bradley Beavers, Brian Kleiber, Randy Raduechel and Tim Helton, by and through their

undersigned counsel of record, and subject to the approval of the court, stipulate to the following

Protective Order as set forth below:

1. In connection with any discovery proceedings in this action, the parties may agree or the

Court may direct that any document, thing, material, testimony or other information derived therefrom,

be designated as “Confidential” under the terms of this Stipulated Protective Order (“Order”). 

Confidential information is information which has not been made public and is privileged and

confidential and protected from public disclosure under applicable law.

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 Partymust 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. 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.

 2. Confidential documents shall be so designated by stamping copies of the document

produced to a party with the legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” Stamping the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” on

the cover of any multi-page document shall designate all pages of the document as confidential, unless

otherwise indicated by the producing party.

3. Material designated as confidential under this Order, the information contained therein,

and any summaries, copies, abstracts, or documents derived in whole or in part from material designated

as confidential (“confidential material”) shall be used only for the purpose of the prosecution, defense,

or settlement of this action and for no other purpose.

4. Confidentialmaterial produced pursuant to this Order maybe disclosed or made available

only to the court, to counsel for a party (including the paralegal, clerical, and secretarial staff employed

by such counsel) and to the “qualified persons” designated below:

a. Experts or consultants (together with their clerical staff)retained by such counsel

to assist in the prosecution, defense or settlement of this action;

b. Court reporters employed in this action; and

c. A witness at any deposition or proceedings in this action.

d. Any other person as to whom the parties in writing agree.

Prior to receiving any confidential material, each “qualified person” shall be provided

with a copy of this Order and shall execute a non-disclosure agreement in the form of Attachment A, a

copy of which shall be maintained by the counsel who is providing the materials.

5. The portion of anydeposition in which confidential materials are discussed shall be taken

only in the presence of qualified persons, as defined above.

6. Nothing herein shall impose any restrictions on the use or disclosure by a party of

material obtained by such party independent of discovery in this action, whether or not such material is

also obtained through discovery in this action, or from disclosing its own confidential material as it

deems appropriate. 

7. Receipt by any party of any confidential information does not constitute, nor is it to be

construed to be, a waiver of any privilege or evidentiary objection, State or Federal.

8. If confidential material, including any portion of a deposition transcript designated as

confidential is included in any papers to be filed in court, such papers shall be labeled

“CONFIDENTIAL-SUBJECT TO COURT ORDER” and filed under seal until further order of this

court. Each envelope containing confidential material shall be endorsed with the title and case number

of this action, and indication of the nature of said sealed envelope, a legend “CONFIDENTIALDESIGNATED BY COUNSEL,” and a statement substantially in the following form: “This envelope

containing documents which are filed in this case is not to be opened, nor the contents thereof to be

displayed or revealed except by order of the court.” Except, however, that any papers served on counsel

for the parties need not include separate sealed envelopes for confidential materials.

9. This Order shall be without prejudice to the right of the parties 1) to bring before the court

at any time the question of whether any particular document or information is confidential or whether

its use shall be restricted; or 2) to present a motion to the court under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure

26(c) for a separate protective order as to any particular document or information, including restrictions

different from those as specified herein. This Order shall not be deemed to prejudice the parties in any

way in any future application for modification of this Order.

10. Nothing in this Order nor the production of any information or document under the terms

of this Order nor any proceedings pursuant to this Order, shall be deemed to have the effect of an

admission or waiver of objections or privileges by either party or of altering the confidentiality or non3

confidentiality of any such document or information or altering any existing right or obligation of any

party or the absence thereof.

11. This Order shall survive the final termination of this action, to the extent that the

information contained in confidential material is not or does not become known to the public and the

court shall retain jurisdiction to resolve any dispute concerning the use of information disclosed

hereunder. Within ninety (90) days of the dismissal or entry of final judgment in this action, whichever

occurs first, each party shall return to the producing party all confidential materials and any and all

copies thereof.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
