Suite 117

FRESNO, CA 93711

Defendant GOLDEN WEST LABOR ("Defendant") and Plaintiffs SANDRA GARYBO and 

AGUSTIN VEGA ("Plaintiffs"), by their counsel and subject to the approval of the Court, hereby 

agree to the following Order regarding the protection of confidential information

IT IS HEREBY AGREED THAT:

Each party to this proceeding, to any mediation between the Parties, or any subsequent appeals

and anyone else who may subscribe to this Agreed Protective Order ("Order”) agree as follows:

Defendant believe that the discovery, prosecution and defense of this action may require the 

disclosure of certain confidential information relating to purported class members, Plaintiffs and 

Defendant. Plaintiffs and Defendant (hereinafter referred to as "the Parties") desire to litigate this 

action without jeopardizing any party's interest in the privacy and confidentiality of any such 

information and without litigation regarding these issues. This Order shall not apply to any 

information regarding Defendant’s business ownership, financial condition, tax returns, 

assets and liabilities, trade secrets, proprietary business information, or any similar 

materials. Defendant reserves the right to challenge discovery of such information. 

1. Any party that produces information that it reasonably believes to be Confidential as 

provided by California or Federal laws, regulations or rules of court may, at the time of production, 

designate such information as "Confidential," and the information so designated shall thereafter be 

subject to the provisions of this Order. The protection of this Order may be invoked by any party with 

respect to confidential information relating to the Plaintiffs and other current and former employees 

of Defendant, whether (a) conveyed by or contained in a document produced or (b) stated in an 

answer to an interrogatory or request for admission or (c) disclosed in an oral deposition by a party or 

a non-party in the course of discovery in this proceeding or (d) disclosed pursuant to a voluntary 

agreement among counsel or (e) disclosed in the furtherance of or during the course of mediation 

between the Parties. In the case of documents, each page that is to be produced under this Order shall 

be separately marked "CONFIDENTIAL." In the case of voluminous payroll and personnel records, 

the producing party may collectively designate such records as Confidential, but such designation 

shall apply only to information described in a cover letter. In the event of any dispute over the scope 

of the designation, the parties shall meet and confer before presenting the dispute to the court for

resolution. This provision is without prejudice to the right of either party to move for a determination 

from the Court that information thus designated is not Confidential. The Parties agree to meet and 

confer over disputes about whether or not information is Confidential before making such a motion to 

the Court. 

2. 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. A designating Party must take care to 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), expose the designating Party to sanctions 

pursuant to a noticed motion. If it comes to a Party’s or a non-party’s attention that information or 

items that it designated for protection do not qualify for protection at all, or do not qualify for the 

level of protection initially asserted, that Party or non-party must promptly notify all other parties that 

it is withdrawing the mistaken designation.

3. Any information designated "Confidential" pursuant to paragraph 1 of this Order shall

not be disclosed to any person whatsoever other than the Parties and their officers and management 

employees, outside counsel assisting in or responsible for this proceeding and members of the legal, 

paralegal, secretarial and clerical staff of such counsel, other persons assisting counsel with these 

proceedings, counsel retained by witnesses, any mediator, the Court, jury members, persons 

employed as consultants for each party, experts and/or witnesses on an as needed basis only

4. All Confidential Material shall be used only for the purpose of the proceedings in this

case, including mediation, trial, hearings and any appeals, and not in any other lawsuit, claim or cause

of action or for any other purposes whatsoever unless ordered by a court of competent jurisdiction

5. All persons, except the Parties, their officers and management employees, their inhouse and outside counsel, and members of the legal, paralegal, secretarial and clerical staff of such

counsel, who are permitted access to Confidential Material shall be informed of its confidentiality 

as provided in this Order, and shall be required to sign an acknowledgment (attached as Exhibit A) 

agreeing to be bound by the non-disclosure provisions of this Order. All persons who are permitted 

access to the Confidential Material shall be bound by the terms of this Order.

6. Any Confidential Material filed with the Court shall be filed pursuant to and consistent 

with the Court's rules and procedures governing the filing of private and confidential information. 

A determination as to when and what special procedures, if any, are necessary for handling 

"Confidential" documents and information subject to this Order at trial shall be deferred until a trial 

date has been set in this case. The Parties shall take all steps reasonably required to protect against 

misuse or disclosure of such Confidential Material.

7. Unless otherwise ordered or agreed in writing by the Defendant, within 60 days after 

final termination of this action, Plaintiffs shall destroy all copies of Defendant's designated 

confidential information. Plaintiffs shall certify such destruction in writing under penalty of perjury 

upon request.

8. This Order shall be without prejudice to the right of any party or non-party to present to

the Court a motion for a separate Protective Order as to any particular document or information 

(including restrictions differing from those as specified herein), or as to any other types of documents 

or information not encompassed by this Order, and this Order shall not be deemed to prejudice any 

party in any way in any future application for modification of this Order.

9. Nothing in this Order shall affect the admissibility of any documents or other evidence 

at trial or hearing in this action. The application of this Order to any information shall not be 

considered an admission or in any way relevant to the questions of whether such information is or 

is not discoverable or admissible.

10. Nothing in this order shall be construed as a waiver by Defendant of any affirmative

defense or argument. Nothing in this order shall be construed as a waiver of any theory of liability by

Plaintiffs.

11. The undersigned counsel for the Parties agree on behalf of their respective firms,

agencies, and clients to the terms set forth herein, and consent to the form and entry of this Order.

12. The United State District Court Eastern District of California retains jurisdiction 

to alter or amend this Order by further order upon a showing of good cause. Nothing in this Order 

shall abridge the right of any person to seek judicial review or to pursue other appropriate judicial 

action with respect to any ruling made concerning the issue of the status of "Confidential" 

information. 

ORDER

Though counsel agreed to seek a stipulated protective order, there were some portions of 

the proposed protective order upon which there was no agreement. Though counsel anticipated 

resolving the dispute by June 5, 2016, this did not occur. The Court finds that the order proposed 

by the plaintiffs best protects the information at issue but ensures also that only that information 

that must be maintained confidential is allowed to be designated in that fashion. Thus, the Court 

here, adopts the plaintiffs’ version.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
