1:18-CV-00120-DAD (BAM)

Gibson, Dunn & 

Crutcher LLP

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, pursuant to Rule 26 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 

and Local Rule 141.1 of the Local Rules of the District Court for the Eastern District of California, 

by and between Plaintiffs Juan Trevino, Christopher Ward, Linda Quinteros, Romeo Palma, Brittany 

Hagman, Alberto Gianini, and Juan C. Avalos and Defendants Golden State FC LLC (now known as 

Amazon.com Services, Inc.), Amazon.com Inc., and Amazon Fulfillment Services, Inc. (now known 

as Amazon.com Services, Inc.) (“Defendants”) (collectively, the “Parties”), by and through their 

respective undersigned counsel of record, that in order to facilitate the exchange of information and 

documents which may be subject to confidentiality limitations on disclosure due to federal laws, state 

laws, and privacy rights, the Parties respectfully request that the Court sign and enter the [Proposed] 

Order following this Stipulated Protective Order to govern the production of documents and the 

conduct of discovery in this action.

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; Local 

Rule 141 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.

testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced or generated in disclosures or responses 

to discovery in this matter.

2.6 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter pertinent to 

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

2.9 Outside Counsel of Record: attorneys who are not employees of a party to this 

action but are retained to represent or advise a party to this action and have appeared in this action on

1:18-CV-00120-DAD (BAM)

Gibson, Dunn & 

Crutcher LLP

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

1:18-CV-00120-DAD (BAM)

Gibson, Dunn & 

Crutcher LLP

Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or 

oral or written communications that qualify. Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are 

prohibited.

If Designating Party learns 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 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 shall either (1) identify on the record, before the close of the deposition,

hearing, or other proceeding, all protected testimony, or (2) designate the entirety of the testimony as 

“confidential” (before the proceedings is concluded) with the right to identify more specific portions 

of the testimony as to which protection is sought within 30 days following receipt of the deposition 

transcript.

(c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any 

other tangible items, that the Producing Party shall 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 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. The Receiving Party shall also promptly destroy or return the inadvertently 

produced material, and all copies thereof, and shall retain only the materials designated as 

“confidential.”

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 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

Crutcher LLP

the process by conferring directly (including voice–to-voice dialogue, if feasible) within 14 calendar 

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 (and in 

compliance with Local Rule 141, if applicable) within 30 calendar days of the initial notice of 

challenge or within 21 calendar days of the Parties agreeing that the meet and confer process will not 

resolve their dispute, whichever is later. 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 30 calendar days (or 21 calendar 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 and until 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, and for no other purposes and no other client. 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) (i) to whom disclosure is reasonably 

necessary for this litigation and (ii) 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.

12 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

1:18-CV-00120-DAD (BAM)

Gibson, Dunn & 

Crutcher LLP

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) If 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 NonParty 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 NonParty.

(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

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. PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED MATERIAL

The Parties specifically incorporate by reference the Stipulated Rule 502(d) Order 

concurrently 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 Local Rule 141. 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 Local 

Rule 141, 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 Local Rule is denied by the 

court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in the public record pursuant to Local Rule 

141 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.

14 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

1:18-CV-00120-DAD (BAM)

Gibson, Dunn & 

Crutcher LLP

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 (for the duration of 1 year).

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
