8 9 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 10 CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 11 12 ANDRANIK KIRAKOSYAN, an Case No. 2:19-cv-10477 individual, 13 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE Plaintiff, ORDER 14 vs. 15 CALIBER HOLDINGS 16 CORPORATION d/b/a CALIBER COLLISION, a Delaware Corporation; 17 and DOES 1 through 20, inclusive, 18 Defendant. 19 20 Plaintiff Andranik Kirakosyan (“Plaintiff”), and Defendant Caliber Holdings 21 Corporation (“Defendant”) (collectively, the “parties”), by and through their 22 respective counsel, hereby stipulate and agree as follows: 23 1. PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS 24 Discovery in this action is likely to involve production of confidential, 25 proprietary or private information for which special protection from public 26 disclosure and from use for any purpose other than pursuing this litigation may be 27 warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to 28 enter the following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this 1 Order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to 2 discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure and use extends 3 only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment 4 under the applicable legal principles. 5 2. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT 6 This action is very likely to involve commercial, financial, technical and/or 7 proprietary information for which special protection from public disclosure and 8 from use for any purpose other than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such 9 confidential and proprietary materials and information consist of, among other 10 things, confidential business or financial information, information regarding 11 confidential business practices, or other confidential research, development, or 12 commercial information (including information implicating privacy rights of third 13 parties), information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or which may be 14 privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, 15 court rules, case decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of 16 information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of 17 discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties are entitled to 18 keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable necessary uses 19 of such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their 20 handling at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order 21 for such information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that 22 information will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that 23 nothing be so designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a 24 confidential, non-public manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part 25 of the public record of this case. 26 3. ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF UNDER SEAL FILING PROCEDURE 27 The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 14.3, below, that this 28 Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information 1 under seal; Local Civil Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed 2 and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court 3 to file material under seal. There is a strong presumption that the public has a right 4 of access to judicial proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non- 5 dispositive motions, good cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See 6 Kamakana v. City and County of Honolulu,

(9th Cir. 2006), 7 Phillips v. Gen. Motors Corp.,

187 F.R.D. 576, 577

(E.D. Wis. 1999) (even 9 stipulated protective orders require good cause showing), and a specific showing of 10 good cause or compelling reasons with proper evidentiary support and legal 11 justification, must be made with respect to Protected Material that a party seeks to 12 file under seal. The parties’ mere designation of Disclosure or Discovery Material 13 as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL—ATTORNEYS’ EYES 14 ONLY” does not—without the submission of competent evidence by declaration, 15 establishing that the material sought to be filed under seal qualifies as confidential, 16 privileged, or otherwise protectable—constitute good cause. 17 Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion or trial, 18 then compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must be shown, and 19 the relief sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the specific interest to be 20 protected. See Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Ass’n.,

605 F.3d 665, 677-79

(9th Cir. 21 2010). For each item or type of information, document, or thing sought to be filed 22 or introduced under seal, the party seeking protection must articulate compelling 23 reasons, supported by specific facts and legal justification, for the requested sealing 24 order. Again, competent evidence supporting the application to file documents 25 under seal must be provided by declaration. 26 Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable in 27 its entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential portions can be redacted. 28 If documents can be redacted, then a redacted version for public viewing, omitting 1 only the confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable portions of the document, 2 shall be filed. Any application that seeks to file documents under seal in their 3 entirety should include an explanation of why redaction is not feasible. 4 4. DEFINITIONS 5 4.1 Action: Andranik Kirakosyan v. Caliber Holdings Corp., District 6 Court of Central District of California, Case No. 2:19-cv-10477. 7 4.2 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the 8 designation of information or items under this Order. 9 4.3 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information (regardless of 10 how it is generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for 11 protection under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), and as specified above in 12 the Good Cause Statement. 13 4.4 Counsel: Outside Counsel of Record and House Counsel (as well as 14 their support staff). 15 4.5 Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates information or 16 items that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as 17 “CONFIDENTIAL.” 18 4.6 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless 19 of the medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, 20 among other things, testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced 21 or generated in disclosures or responses to discovery. 22 4.7 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter 23 pertinent to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as 24 an expert witness or as a consultant in this Action. 25 4.8 “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” 26 Information or Items: any “CONFIDENTIAL” information as defined in section 27 4.3 which also includes extremely sensitive, highly confidential, non-public 28 information, consisting either of trade secrets or proprietary or other highly 1 confidential business, financial, regulatory, or strategic information (including 2 information regarding business plans, technical data, and non-public designs), the 3 disclosure of which would create a substantial risk of competitive or business injury 4 to the Producing Party. 5 4.8 House Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a party to this Action. 6 House Counsel does not include Outside Counsel of Record or any other outside 7 counsel. 8 4.9 Non-Party: any natural person, partnership, corporation, association or 9 other legal entity not named as a Party to this action. 10 4.10 Outside Counsel of Record: attorneys who are not employees of a 11 party to this Action but are retained to represent a party to this Action and have 12 appeared in this Action on behalf of that party or are affiliated with a law firm that 13 has appeared on behalf of that party, and includes support staff. 14 4.11 Party: any party to this Action, including all of its officers, directors, 15 employees, consultants, retained experts, and Outside Counsel of Record (and their 16 support staffs). 17 4.12 Producing Party: a Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or 18 Discovery Material in this Action. 19 4.13 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation 20 support services (e.g., photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or 21 demonstrations, and organizing, storing, or retrieving data in any form or medium) 22 and their employees and subcontractors. 23 4.14 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is 24 designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL— 25 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” 26 4.15 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery 27 Material from a Producing Party. 28 5. SCOPE 1 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only 2 Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or 3 extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or 4 compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or 5 presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. Any 6 use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the trial judge 7 and other applicable authorities. This Order does not govern the use of Protected 8 Material at trial. 9 6. DURATION 10 Once a case proceeds to trial, information that was designated as 11 “CONFIDENTIAL,” “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL—ATTORNEYS’ EYES 12 ONLY,” or maintained pursuant to this protective order used or introduced as an 13 exhibit at trial becomes public and will be presumptively available to all members 14 of the public, including the press, unless compelling reasons supported by specific 15 factual findings to proceed otherwise are made to the trial judge in advance of the 16 trial. See Kamakana,

447 F.3d at 1180-81

(distinguishing “good cause” showing for 17 sealing documents produced in discovery from “compelling reasons” standard when 18 merits-related documents are part of court record). Accordingly, the terms of this 19 protective order do not extend beyond the commencement of the trial. 20 7. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 21 7.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. 22 Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under 23 this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that 24 qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for 25 protection only those parts of material, documents, items or oral or written 26 communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, 27 items or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept 28 unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order. 1 Mass, indiscriminate or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations 2 that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper 3 purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to 4 impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the 5 Designating Party to sanctions. 6 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it 7 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must 8 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation. 9 7.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in 10 this Order, or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, Disclosure of Discovery Material 11 that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so designated before 12 the material is disclosed or produced. 13 Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 14 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic 15 documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial 16 proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend 17 “CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”) or “HIGHLY 18 CONFIDENTIAL—ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” (hereinafter “HIGHLY 19 CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that contains protected material. If only a 20 portion of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also 21 must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings 22 in the margins). 23 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection 24 need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated 25 which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and 26 before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be 27 deemed “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL—ATTORNEYS’ 28 EYES ONLY.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants 1 copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or 2 portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the 3 specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the “CONFIDENTIAL 4 legend” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains 5 Protected Material. If only a portion of the material on a page qualifies for 6 protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) 7 (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). 8 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party 9 identifies the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of 10 the deposition all protected testimony. 11 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and 12 for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on 13 the exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the 14 legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information 15 warrants protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the 16 protected portion(s). 17 7.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent 18 failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive 19 the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such 20 material. Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make 21 reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the 22 provisions of this Order. 23 8. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 24 8.1. Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a 25 designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s 26 Scheduling Order. 27 8.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute 28 resolution process under Local Rule 37-1 et seq. 1 8.3 Joint Stipulation. Any challenge submitted to the Court shall be via a 2 joint stipulation pursuant to Local Rule 37-2. 3 8.4 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on 4 the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper 5 purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other 6 parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating 7 Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall 8 continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is 9 entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the 10 challenge. 11 9. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 12 9.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is 13 disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this 14 Action only for prosecuting, defending or attempting to settle this Action. Such 15 Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the 16 conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a 17 Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 15 below (FINAL 18 DISPOSITION). 19 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a 20 location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons 21 authorized under this Order. 22 9.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless 23 otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a 24 Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated 25 CONFIDENTIAL” only to: 26 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as 27 well as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably 28 necessary to disclose the information for this Action; 1 (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House 2 Counsel) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary 3 for this Action; 4 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom 5 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the 6 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 7 (d) the court and its personnel; 8 (e) court reporters and their staff; 9 (f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional 10 Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have 11 signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 12 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or 13 a custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information; 14 (h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in 15 the Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing 16 party requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit A hereto; and (2) 17 they will not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the 18 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise 19 agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed 20 deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may 21 be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone 22 except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and 23 (i) any mediators or settlement officers and their supporting personnel, 24 mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions. 25 9.3 Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 26 ONLY.” Unless otherwise ordered by the Court or permitted in writing by the 27 Designating Party, Counsel of Record may not allow access to “HIGHLY 28 1 CONFIDENTIAL—ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Discovery Materials produced 2 by another party except as provided: 3 (a) to the Receiving Party’s Counsel of Record in this action, as well 4 as employees or regular contractors of said Counsel of Record to whom it is 5 reasonably necessary to disclose the information for this litigation and who have 6 signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto 7 as Exhibit A; 8 (b) to the Experts of the Receiving Party (1) to whom disclosure is 9 reasonably necessary for this litigation and (2) who have signed the 10 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 11 (c) the Court and its personnel; 12 (d) to Plaintiff in this action, but only to the extent that Plaintiff is 13 solely permitted to review in person such Discovery Materials at his Counsel of 14 Record’s office without removing from his counsel’s office the Discovery 15 Materials, copies of the Discovery Materials, or any written or otherwise recorded 16 notes (including his own) concerning the Discovery Materials; nor will Plaintiff be 17 provided any written summary or description of such Discovery Materials. 18 10. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED 19 PRODUCED IN OTHER LITIGATION 20 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation 21 that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as 22 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 23 ONLY,” that Party must: 24 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification 25 shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order; 26 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or 27 order to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the 28 subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include 1 a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and 2 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be 3 pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. If the 4 Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the 5 subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action 6 as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 7 ONLY” before a determination by the court from which the subpoena or order 8 issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s permission. The 9 Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in that 10 court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions should be 11 construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action to disobey 12 a lawful directive from another court. 13 11. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE 14 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION 15 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a 16 Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 17 CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” Such information produced 18 by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the remedies and 19 relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be construed as 20 prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections. 21 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to 22 produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is 23 subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s 24 confidential information, then the Party shall: 25 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non- 26 Party that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality 27 agreement with a Non-Party; 28 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the 1 Stipulated Protective Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a 2 reasonably specific description of the information requested; and 3 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by 4 the Non-Party, if requested. 5 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this court 6 within 14 days of receiving the notice and accompanying information, the 7 Receiving Party may produce the Non-Party’s confidential information responsive 8 to the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks a protective order, the 9 Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession or control that 10 is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a 11 determination by the court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall 12 bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected 13 Material. 14 12. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 15 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed 16 Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this 17 Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in 18 writing the Designating Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best 19 efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the 20 person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of 21 this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment 22 an Agreement to Be Bound” attached hereto as Exhibit A. 23 13. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR 24 OTHERWISE PROTECTED MATERIAL 25 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain 26 inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other 27 protection, the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal 28 Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify 1 whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for 2 production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 3 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure 4 of a communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work 5 product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated 6 protective order submitted to the court. 7 14. MISCELLANEOUS 8 14.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any 9 person to seek its modification by the Court in the future. 10 14.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this 11 Protective Order, no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to 12 disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in 13 this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on 14 any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective 15 Order. 16 14.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any 17 Protected Material must comply with Local Civil Rule 79-5. Protected Material 18 may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the 19 specific Protected Material. If a Party’s request to file Protected Material under seal 20 is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in the 21 public record unless otherwise instructed by the court. 22 15. FINAL DISPOSITION 23 After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in section 6, within 60 24 days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must 25 return all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As 26 used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, 27 compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the 28 Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the 1 || Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if 2 || not the same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60-day deadline that 3 || (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was 4 || returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any 5 || copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or 6 || capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel 7 || are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, 8 || deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition 9 || and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert 10 || work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any such archival 11 || copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this Protective 12 || Order as set forth in section 6 (DURATION). 13 16. VIOLATION 14 Any violation of this Order may be punished by appropriate measures 15 || including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary sanctions. 16 | ITIS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD. 17 || Dated: March 27, 2020 MORGAN, LEWIS & BOCKIUS LLP 18 | = 19 By _< —_
