22 On or about April 1, 2020, the parties stipulated to a protective order 23 regarding confidential information and seek to have a protective order entered by 24 the Court based on that stipulation. The stipulation has been filed with the Court. 25 Based on that Stipulation and it appearing that the information is confidential and 26 good cause appearing therefor, the following Protective Order shall apply to any 27 Documents produced by Defendants to Plaintiffs' counsel in this action: 28 1. Good Cause Statement: This action involves information for 1 which special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose 2 other than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such confidential materials 3 and information consist of, among things, the Orange County District Attorney's 4 Office Officer Involved Shooting Investigation, the City of Anaheim Police 5 Department's Body Worn Camera videos (which include information implicating 6 privacy rights of third parties), the City of Anaheim internal investigation and/or 7 the Officer's personnel files (including information implicating privacy rights of 8 third parties), information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or which 9 may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal 10 statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to expedite 11 the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over 12 confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately protect information the 13 parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted 14 reasonable necessary uses of such material in preparation for and in the conduct 15 of trial, to address their handling at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of 16 justice, a protective order for such information is justified in this matter. 17 2. Attorneys for the Plaintiffs shall receive from the City a copy of the 18 OCDA's investigation and APD police and investigative reports in connection 19 with the officer involved shooting investigation of decedent (“File”). 20 3. Attorneys for the Plaintiffs shall personally secure and maintain the 21 File in their possession to the end that the File is to be used only for the purposes 22 set forth below and for no other purpose. 23 4. Plaintiffs' counsel’s copy of the investigation File shall only be used 24 for preparing for and prosecuting this case pending the completion of the judicial 25 process including appeal, if any. No copies of the File shall be made. 26 5. If necessary in the judgment of the attorneys for the Plaintiffs in this 27 case, they may show or reveal the contents of the File to their experts and/or 28 investigators, if the same may actively assist in the prosecution of this case. 1 6. Duration: Once a case proceeds to trial, all of the information that 2 was designated as confidential or maintained pursuant to this protective order 3 becomes public unless compelling reasons supported by specific factual findings 4 to proceed otherwise are made to the trial judge in advance of the trial. 5 Kamakana v. City and County of Honolulu (9th Cir. 2006) 447 F.3d 1172, 1180- 6 1181 (distinguishing "good cause" showing for sealing documents produced in 7 discovery from "compelling reasons" standard when merits-related 8 documents are part of court record). Accordingly, the terms of this protective 9 order do not extend beyond the commencement of the trial. 10 7. Filing Protected Material: A Party that seeks to file under seal any 11 Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material 12 may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of 13 the specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party's request to file Protected 14 Material under seal is denied by the Court, then the Receiving Party may file the 15 information in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the Court. 16 8. Final Disposition: After the final disposition of this Action, 17 Plaintiffs' Counsel shall return all Protected Material and/or Confidential 18 Information to counsel for the City or shall destroy such material, including all 19 copies and extracts thereof, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any other 20 format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material and/or 21 Confidential Information with the exception of those documents affected by the 22 attorney work-product doctrine or attorney-client privilege. Notwithstanding this 23 provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion 24 papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, 25 correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work 26 product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials contain 27 material Protected Material and/or Confidential Information produced subject to 28 this order. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material 1 and/or Confidential Information remain subject to this Protective Order. 2 9. Attorneys for the Plaintiffs shall cause the substance of this order to 3 be communicated to each person to whom the File is revealed in accordance with 4 this order and prior to disclosure of the Confidential Information, have such 5 person execute a written Understanding and Agreement to be bound by this 6 Stipulation for Protective Order in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1. 7 10. The attorneys for the Plaintiffs shall not cause or knowingly permit 8 disclosure of the contents of the File beyond the disclosure permitted under the 9 terms and conditions of this order, including but not limited to any news media 10 which is inclusive of film or video, television, radio or print. 11 FOR GOOD CAUSE SHOWN, IT IS SO ORDERED: 12 13 Dated: June 8, 2020
