9 MICHAEL MEDINA- Case No.: 2:21-cv-7038 FLA (GJSx) FERNANDEZ, an individual, 10 Honorable Fernando L. Aenlle-Rocha Plaintiff, 11 (Magistrate Judge Gail J. Standish) vs. 12 [Proposed] STIPULATED CITY OF LONG BEACH, a 13 municipal entity; and DOES 1-50, PROTECTIVE ORDER individually and in their official 14 capacity as police officers for the CITY OF LONG BEACH Police 15 Department,,

16 Defendants. 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Case 2:21-cv-07038-FLA-GJS Document 36 Filed 11/04/22 Page 2 of 16 Page ID #:223

1 1. A. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS 2 Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential, 3 proprietary or private information for which special protection from public 4 disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may 5 be warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to 6 enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this 7 Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to 8 discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends 9 only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment 10 under the applicable legal principles. 11 B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT 12 This action involves the City of Long Beach and members of the City of Long 13 Beach police force. Plaintiff will be seeking materials and information that 14 Defendant City of Long Beach maintains as confidential, such as personnel files of 15 the law enforcement officers involved in the subject incident, including but not 16 limited to citizens’ complaints and internal affairs investigation records, video 17 recordings (including Body-Worn Camera recordings and Digital In-Car Video 18 Recordings), audio recordings, and other administrative information currently in the 19 possession of the City of Long Beach that Defendant maintains requires special 20 protection from public disclosure and use for any purpose beyond the prosecution of 21 this litigation. 22 Defendants will be seeking medical records and financial information that 23 Plaintiff maintains is confidential and needs special protection from public 24 disclosure. 25 Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt 26 resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately 27 protect information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the Case 2:21-cv-07038-FLA-GJS Document 36 Filed 11/04/22 Page 3 of 16 Page ID #:224

1 parties are permitted reasonable and necessary uses of such material in preparation 2 for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of the litigation, 3 and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is justified in 4 this matter. It is the intent of the parties that information will not be designated as 5 confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good 6 faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and 7 there is good cause why it should not be part of the public record of this case. 8 C. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PROCEDURE FOR FILING UNDER SEAL 9 The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this 10 Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information 11 under seal; Local Civil Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed 12 and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court 13 to file material under seal. 14 There is a strong presumption that the public has a right of access to judicial 15 proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non-dispositive motions, 16 good cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See Kamakana v. City and 17 County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1176 (9th Cir. 2006), Phillips v. Gen. Motors 18 Corp., 307 F.3d 1206, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002), Makar-Welbon v. Sony Electrics, 19 Inc., 187 F.R.D. 576, 577 (E.D. Wis. 1999) (even stipulated protective orders require 20 good cause showing), and a specific showing of good cause or compelling reasons 21 with proper evidentiary support and legal justification, must be made with respect to 22 Protected Material that a party seeks to file under seal. The parties’ mere designation 23 of Disclosure or Discovery Material as CONFIDENTIAL does not—without the 24 submission of competent evidence by declaration, establishing that the material 25 sought to be filed under seal qualifies as confidential, privileged, or otherwise 26 protectable—constitute good cause. 27 Case 2:21-cv-07038-FLA-GJS Document 36 Filed 11/04/22 Page 4 of 16 Page ID #:225

1 Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion or trial, then 2 compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must be shown, and the 3 relief sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the specific interest to be protected. 4 See Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Ass’n, 605 F.3d 665, 677-79 (9th Cir. 2010). For 5 each item or type of information, document, or thing sought to be filed or introduced 6 under seal in connection with a dispositive motion or trial, the party seeking 7 protection must articulate compelling reasons, supported by specific facts and legal 8 justification, for the requested sealing order. Again, competent evidence supporting 9 the application to file documents under seal must be provided by declaration. 10 Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable in 11 its entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential portions can be redacted. 12 If documents can be redacted, then a redacted version for public viewing, omitting 13 only the confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable portions of the document, 14 shall be filed. Any application that seeks to file documents under seal in their 15 entirety should include an explanation of why redaction is not feasible. 16 2. DEFINITIONS 17 2.1 Action: Medina-Fernandez v City of Long Beach, et al., 2:21-cv-7038 18 FLA (GJSx). 19 2.2 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the designation 20 of information or items under this Order. 21 2.3 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information (regardless of 22 how it is generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for 23 protection under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), and as specified above in 24 the Good Cause Statement. 25 2.4 Counsel: Outside Counsel of Record and House Counsel (as well as 26 their support staff). 27 2.5 Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates information or Case 2:21-cv-07038-FLA-GJS Document 36 Filed 11/04/22 Page 5 of 16 Page ID #:226

1 items that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as 2 “CONFIDENTIAL.” 3 2.6 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless 4 of the medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, 5 among other things, testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced or 6 generated in disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter. 7 2.7 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter 8 pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as 9 an expert witness or as a consultant in this Action. 10 2.8 House Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a party to this Action. 11 House Counsel does not include Outside Counsel of Record or any other outside 12 counsel. 13 2.9 Non-Party: any natural person, partnership, corporation, association or 14 other legal entity not named as a Party to this action. 15 2.10 Outside Counsel of Record: attorneys who are not employees of a party 16 to this Action but are retained to represent or advise a party to this Action and have 17 appeared in this Action on behalf of that party or are affiliated with a law firm that 18 has appeared on behalf of that party, and includes support staff. 19 2.11 Party: any party to this Action, including all of its officers, directors, 20 employees, consultants, retained experts, and Outside Counsel of Record (and their 21 support staffs). 22 2.12 Producing Party: a Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or 23 Discovery Material in this Action. 24 2.13 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation support 25 services (e.g., photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or 26 demonstrations, and organizing, storing, or retrieving data in any form or medium) 27 and their employees and subcontractors. Case 2:21-cv-07038-FLA-GJS Document 36 Filed 11/04/22 Page 6 of 16 Page ID #:227

1 2.14 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is 2 designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” 3 2.15 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material 4 from a Producing Party. 3. SCOPE 5 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only 6 Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or 7 extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or 8 compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or 9 presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. 10 Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the 11 trial judge. This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial. 12 4. DURATION 13 FINAL DISPOSITION of the action is defined as the conclusion of any 14 appellate proceedings, or, if no appeal is taken, when the time for filing of an appeal 15 has run. Except as set forth below, the terms of this protective order apply through 16 FINAL DISPOSITION of the action. The parties may stipulate that they will be 17 contractually bound by the terms of this agreement beyond FINAL DISPOSITION, 18 but will have to file a separate action for enforcement of the agreement once all 19 proceedings in this case are complete. 20 Once a case proceeds to trial, information that was designated as 21 CONFIDENTIAL or maintained pursuant to this protective order used or introduced 22 as an exhibit at trial becomes public and will be presumptively available to all 23 members of the public, including the press, unless compelling reasons supported by 24 specific factual findings to proceed otherwise are made to the trial judge in advance 25 of the trial. See Kamakana, 447 F.3d at 1180-81 (distinguishing “good cause” 26 showing for sealing documents produced in discovery from “compelling reasons” 27 Case 2:21-cv-07038-FLA-GJS Document 36 Filed 11/04/22 Page 7 of 16 Page ID #:228

1 standard when merits-related documents are part of court record). Accordingly, for 2 such materials, the terms of this protective order do not extend beyond the 3 commencement of the trial. 4 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 5 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. 6 Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under 7 this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that 8 qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for 9 protection only those parts of material, documents, items or oral or written 10 communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, items 11 or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably 12 within the ambit of this Order. 13 Mass, indiscriminate or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations 14 that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper 15 purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose 16 unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating 17 Party to sanctions. 18 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it 19 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must 20 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation. 21 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in 22 this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise 23 stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection 24 under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or 25 produced. 26 Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 27 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic Case 2:21-cv-07038-FLA-GJS Document 36 Filed 11/04/22 Page 8 of 16 Page ID #:229

1 documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial 2 proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend 3 “CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that 4 contains protected material. If only a portion of the material on a page qualifies for 5 protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) 6 (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). 7 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection 8 need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated 9 which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and 10 before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be 11 deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the 12 documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which 13 documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before 14 producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the 15 “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a 16 portion of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also 17 must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings 18 in the margins). 19 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identifies 20 the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the deposition 21 all protected testimony. 22 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and 23 for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on 24 the exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the 25 legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information 26 warrants protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the 27 protected portion(s).

1 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent 2 failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive 3 the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. 4 Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable 5 efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this 6 Order. 7 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 8 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a 9 designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s 10 Scheduling Order. 11 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute 12 resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq. 13 6.3 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on 14 the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper 15 purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other 16 parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating 17 Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall 18 continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is 19 entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the 20 challenge. 21 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 22 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is 23 disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this 24 Action only for prosecuting, defending or attempting to settle this Action. Such 25 Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the 26 conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a 27 Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL Case 2:21-cv-07038-FLA-GJS Document 36 Filed 11/04/22 Page 10 of 16 Page ID #:231

1 DISPOSITION). 2 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a 3 location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons 4 authorized under this Order. 5 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless 6 otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a 7 Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated 8 “CONFIDENTIAL” only to: 9 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as 10 well as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably 11 necessary to disclose the information for this Action; 12 (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of 13 the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action; 14 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom 15 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the 16 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 17 (d) the court and its personnel; 18 (e) court reporters and their staff; 19 (f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional 20 Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have 21 signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 22 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a 23 custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information; 24 (h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the 25 Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing party 26 requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit 1 hereto; and (2) they will 27 not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the Case 2:21-cv-07038-FLA-GJS Document 36 Filed 11/04/22 Page 11 of 16 Page ID #:232

1 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise 2 agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed 3 deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may 4 be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except 5 as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and 6 (i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, 7 mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions. 8 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED 9 IN OTHER LITIGATION 10 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation 11 that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as 12 “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must: 13 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification 14 shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order; 15 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order 16 to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena 17 or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of 18 this Stipulated Protective Order; and 19 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be 20 pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. 21 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with 22 the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this 23 action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the 24 subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s 25 permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking 26 protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions 27 should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action Case 2:21-cv-07038-FLA-GJS Document 36 Filed 11/04/22 Page 12 of 16 Page ID #:233

1 to disobey a lawful directive from another court. 2 9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE 3 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION 4 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a 5 Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information 6 produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the 7 remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be 8 construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections. 9 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to 10 produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is 11 subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s 12 confidential information, then the Party shall: 13 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party 14 that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement 15 with a Non-Party; 16 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated 17 Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably 18 specific description of the information requested; and 19 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the 20 Non-Party, if requested. 21 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court within 22 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party 23 may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery 24 request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall 25 not produce any information in its possession or control that is subject to the 26 confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination by the court. 27 Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and expense Case 2:21-cv-07038-FLA-GJS Document 36 Filed 11/04/22 Page 13 of 16 Page ID #:234

1 of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material. 2 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 3 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed 4 Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this 5 Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in 6 writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts 7 to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person 8 or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this 9 Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and 10 Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 11 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE 12 PROTECTED MATERIAL 13 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain 14 inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, 15 the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil 16 Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure 17 may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production without prior 18 privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as 19 the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a communication or 20 information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work product protection, the 21 parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted 22 to the court. 23 12. MISCELLANEOUS 24 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any 25 person to seek its modification by the Court in the future. 26 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this 27 Protective Order, no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to Case 2:21-cv-07038-FLA-GJS Document 36 Filed 11/04/22 Page 14 of 16 Page ID #:235

1 disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this 2 Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any 3 ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order. 4 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any 5 Protected Material must comply with Local Civil Rule 79-5. Protected Material may 6 only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the 7 specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party’s request to file Protected Material 8 under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information 9 in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court. 10 13. FINAL DISPOSITION 11 After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 60 12 days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return 13 all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in 14 this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, 15 summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected 16 Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving 17 Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same 18 person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies 19 (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or 20 destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, 21 abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any 22 of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to 23 retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing 24 transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert 25 reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such 26 materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival copies that contain or 27 constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective Order as set forth in Cas@ 2:21-cv-07038-FLA-GJS Document 36 Filed 11/04/22 Page 15o0f16 Page ID #:236

I agree to comply with and to be 9 bound by all the terms of this Stipulated Protective Order and I understand and 10 acknowledge that failure to so comply could expose me to sanctions and punishment 11 in the nature of contempt. I solemnly promise that I will not disclose in any manner 12 any information or item that is subject to this Stipulated Protective Order to any 13 person or entity except in strict compliance with the provisions of this Order. 14 I further agree to submit to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court 15 for the Central District of California for enforcing the terms of this Stipulated 16 Protective Order, even if such enforcement proceedings occur after termination of 17 this action. I hereby appoint __________________________ [print or type full 18 name] of _______________________________________ [print or type full address 19 and telephone number] as my California agent for service of process in connection 20 with this action or any proceedings related to enforcement of this Stipulated 21 Protective Order. 22 Date: ______________________________________ 23 City and State where sworn and signed: _________________________________ 24 25 Printed name: _______________________________ 26 27 Signature: __________________________________
