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

order as follows: 

1. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, within the meaning of this PROTECTIVE ORDER, shall 

include all documents containing peace officer personnel records, official information and any other 

such documents that defendants in good faith have determined to be confidential. Defendants shall 

attempt to stamp "Confidential" on all such documents prior to production. In the event that any 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION is inadvertently not stamped as "Confidential" by defendants, the 

party who notices this oversight shall nonetheless treat such documents as CONFIDENTIAL 

INFORMATION. Such party shall also immediately make the labeling oversight known to the other 

parties and the documents shall immediately be stamped as "Confidential" and treated as such, as per 

this order.

2. All documents, including, but not limited to, audiotapes, videotapes, photographs, transcripts, 

etc., related to the criminal investigation incidental to the event forming the basis of this lawsuit shall 

be also be deemed CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, within the meaning of this stipulation. 

3. Plaintiff may challenge defendants’ designation of a particular document as CONFIDENTIAL 

INFORMATION by filing an appropriate motion, under seal, with the Court. The parties agree that 

the prevailing party in a motion to remove the confidential designation shall waive any entitlement to 

monetary sanctions, including attorney’s fees.

4. Unless disclosure is ordered by the Court, attorneys for defendants shall have the sole authority 

to determine that documents subject to the PROTECTIVE ORDER are no longer considered 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION and will advise counsel for plaintiff in writing if this 

determination is made. 

5. Any CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION that is disclosed or produced by any party or non 

party in connection with this case may be used only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle

this litigation. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION may be disclosed only to the categories of persons 

and under the conditions described in this Order. When the litigation has been terminated, all parties or 

non parties that have received CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION must comply with the provisions of 

section 12, below. 

 All parties or non parties that have received CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION must store 

and maintain it in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under 

this Order.

only to the following categories of person and no other unless authorized by order of the Court: 

a. Plaintiff’s Counsel and Plaintiff, as specified in Section 7, below; 

b. Experts, investigators or consultants retained by Plaintiff’s Counsel to assist in the evaluation, 

preparation, or trial of this case; however, before any expert, investigator, or consultant is permitted to 

review the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, such individual must agree to comply with the terms 

of this PROTECTIVE ORDER by executing the document attached as Exhibit A. Plaintiff’s counsel 

shall file and serve that document upon its execution; however, Plaintiff’s counsel shall not be 

required to file any Agreement to Comply any earlier than the date that Expert Disclosures are 

required to be made. Experts, investigators, and consultants shall not have any power to authorize 

further disclosure of CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION to any other person. 

7. Counsel for Plaintiff may not provide originals or copies of the CONFIDENTIAL 

INFORMATION to any plaintiff absent the written agreement of counsel for the City or a court order.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION with plaintiff.

filed with the Court, shall be filed under seal pursuant to the Court’s rules and procedures (see 

Northern District of California Civil Local Rule 79-5). The sealed envelopes shall be endorsed with 

the caption of this litigation, and an indication of the nature of the contents of the envelopes and a 

statement substantially in the following form: 

"This envelope contains documents that are filed in this case pursuant to a Protective Order and are not 

to be opened nor the contents thereof to be displayed or revealed except by further order of the Court 

or written consent of the City and County of San Francisco." 

9. In the event any person desires to exhibit documents or disclose CONFIDENTIAL 

INFORMATION covered under this stipulation during trial or pretrial proceedings, such person shall 

meet and confer with counsel for defendants to reach an agreement, in accordance with the Court’s 

rules and procedures, on an appropriate method for disclosure, and if defendants do not agree to such 

disclosure, such CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION shall not be disclosed unless authorized by order 

of the Court. Unless otherwise agreed, transcripts and exhibits that incorporate or reference 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION covered under this stipulation shall be treated as 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION that is subject to the provisions of this PROTECTIVE ORDER.

The Court Reporter shall mark as “Confidential” any deposition or hearing transcript that contains any 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION or any reference to CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. 

10. If a party who has received CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION learns that, by inadvertence or 

otherwise, it has disclosed CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION to any person or in any circumstance 

not authorized under this PROTECTIVE ORDER, the party must immediately (a) notify the San 

Francisco City Attorney’s Office in writing of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to 

retrieve all copies of the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, (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 document that is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

11. Any inadvertent disclosure made in violation of this PROTECTIVE ORDER does not 

constitute a waiver of the terms of this PROTECTIVE ORDER, except by written agreement of the 

parties, or further order of this Court. 

12. All documents covered by this PROTECTIVE ORDER and copies thereof (including those in 

the possession of experts, consultants, etc.) will be returned to the San Francisco City Attorney's 

Office at the termination of this litigation. On final disposition of this case, plaintiff’s counsel shall 

within 30 days after the final disposition of this case, without request or further order of this Court, 

return all CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION to the Deputy City Attorney of record in this matter. 

The provisions of this PROTECTIVE ORDER shall, without further order of the Court, continue to be 

binding after the conclusion of the action, and this Court will have jurisdiction to enforce the terms of 

this PROTECTIVE ORDER.

ORDER, plaintiff’s counsel and plaintiff shall be liable for all costs associated with enforcing this

as contempt, evidentiary or terminating sanctions.
