STIPULATED PROTECTIVE 

ORDER

Hon. Lawrence J. O’Neill

TO THE COURT, ALL PARTIES, AND THEIR ATTORNEYS OF RECORD:

Plaintiff JACK SMITH (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants CITY OF MODESTO, 

OFFICER DAVID WATSON, and OFFICER RANDALL W. BOLINGER 

(“Defendants”) (collectively also referred to as “the Parties) hereby stipulate,

through their respective counsel of record, to the following:

1. INTRODUCTION

A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS

Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential, 

proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public

STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER

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. 

B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT

This action is likely to involve the production of peace officer personnel 

materials, including but not limited to citizen complaints and internal affairs 

investigation materials for which special protection from public disclosure and from 

use for any purpose other than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such 

confidential and proprietary materials and information consist of, among other 

things, information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or which may be 

privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, 

court rules, case decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of 

information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of 

discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties are entitled to 

keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses 

of such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their 

handling at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order 

for such information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that 

information will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that 

nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a 

confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part 

of the public record of this case.

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 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 at a minimum, the legend 

“CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter “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).

A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection 

need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated 

which documents 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 depositions that the Designating Party 

identify the Disclosure or Discovery Material of all protected testimony on the 

record, before the close of the deposition.

(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 is stored the 

legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information 

warrants 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 that is consistent with the Court’s 

Scheduling Order.

6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute

resolution process by attempting to resolve the dispute with the Designating Party.

6.3 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 or withdrawn 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 

Action only for prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such 

Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the 

conditions described in this Order. When the Action 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 Action;

(b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House 

Counsel) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this 

Action;

(c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to 

whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action 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 Action

A);

(g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information 

or a custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information;

(h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, 

in the Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the 

deposing party requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit 1 hereto; 

and (2) they will not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they 

sign 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 may be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to 

anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and

(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 Non-Party’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 Action, 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, if requested.

(c) If the Non-Party fails to 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. 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 the applicable local rules. Protected Material 

may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the 

specific Protected Material at issue. However, only the portions of documents,
