11 MERCEDES TORRES, individually 12 and as successor in interest, Case No. 2:22-cv-04250-JFW-RAOx THOMAS TORRES, J.T., a minor 13 and T.T., a minor, through their Magistrate Judge Rozella A. Oliver 14 guardian ad litem WENDY FUNES.

15 Plaintiffs, [PROPOSED] STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 16 vs. COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES, a [Stipulation filed concurrently 17 municipal entity; LOS ANGELES herewith] SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT, a 18 municipal entity; SHERIFF ALEX VILLANUEVA; CLAY PORLIER, 19 an individual; BRENDAN J. CORBETT, an individual; SERGIO 20 ALOMA, an individual; and DOES 1 through 20 inclusive, 21 22 Defendants.

23 24 25 Having reviewed the Parties’ STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER, and 26 GOOD CAUSE appearing therefore, the STIPULATION is hereby GRANTED as 27 to the following: 28 /// Case 2:22-cv-04250-JFW-RAO Document 31 Filed 09/23/22 Page 2 of 16 Page ID #:218

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. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in 11 Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to 12 file confidential information under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the 13 procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party 14 seeks permission from the court to file material under seal. 15 16 B. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT 17 This action is likely to involve criminal investigation materials, police reports, 18 medical records, financial materials, peace officer personnel materials, information 19 implicating the privacy rights of third parties (i.e., bystander witnesses, emergency 20 personnel information, etc.); and other private and confidential materials for which 21 special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than 22 prosecution of this action is warranted. The nature of the incident that gives rise to 23 Plaintiffs’ suit and their claims and allegations that Defendants violated Thomas 24 Torres’ civil rights based on Defendants’ policies and procedures, will result in 25 discovery production that includes: criminal investigation materials; police reports; 26 probation materials; custody agreements; child support services department records; 27 confidential informant information; medical records; financial materials; peace 28 officer personnel materials; information implicating the privacy rights of third 2 TORRES\Stip Protective Order – Proposed Order Case 2:22-cv-04250-JFW-RAO Document 31 Filed 09/23/22 Page 3 of 16 Page ID #:219

1 parties and other private and confidential information otherwise generally 2 unavailable to the public, or which may be privilege or otherwise protected from 3 disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case decisions or common law. 4 Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt 5 resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately 6 protect information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the 7 parties are permitted reasonable, necessary uses of such material in preparation for 8 and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of the litigation, and 9 serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such information is justified in this 10 matter. It is the intent of the parties that information will not be designated as 11 confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good 12 faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and 13 there is good cause why it should not be part of the public record of this case. 14 15 C. ACKNOWLEDGMENT OF PROCEDURE FOR FILING UNDER SEAL 16 The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this 17 Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information 18 under seal; Local Civil Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed 19 and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court 20 to file material under seal. 21 There is a strong presumption that the public has a right of access to judicial 22 proceedings and records in civil cases. In connection with non-dispositive motions, 23 good cause must be shown to support a filing under seal. See Kamakana v. City and 24 County of Honolulu,

(9th Cir. 2006); Phillips v. Gen. Motors 25 Corp.,

, 1210-11 (9th Cir. 2002); Makar-Welbon v. Sony Electrics, 26 Inc.,

(E.D. Wis. 1999) (even stipulated protective orders 27 require good cause showing), and a specific showing of good cause or compelling 28 reasons with proper evidentiary support and legal justification, must be made with 3 TORRES\Stip Protective Order – Proposed Order Case 2:22-cv-04250-JFW-RAO Document 31 Filed 09/23/22 Page 4 of 16 Page ID #:220

1 respect to Protected Material that a party seeks to file under seal. The parties’ mere 2 designation of Disclosure or Discovery Material as CONFIDENTIAL does not— 3 without the submission of competent evidence by declaration, establishing that the 4 material sought to be filed under seal qualifies as confidential, privileged, or 5 otherwise protectable—constitute good cause. 6 Further, if a party requests sealing related to a dispositive motion or trial, then 7 compelling reasons, not only good cause, for the sealing must be shown, and the 8 relief sought shall be narrowly tailored to serve the specific interest to be protected. 9 See Pintos v. Pacific Creditors Ass’n,

(9th Cir. 2010). For 10 each item or type of information, document, or thing sought to be filed or introduced 11 under seal in connection with a dispositive motion or trial, the party seeking 12 protection must articulate compelling reasons, supported by specific facts and legal 13 justification, for the requested sealing order. Again, competent evidence supporting 14 the application to file documents under seal must be provided by declaration. 15 Any document that is not confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable in 16 its entirety will not be filed under seal if the confidential portions can be redacted. 17 If documents can be redacted, then a redacted version for public viewing, omitting 18 only the confidential, privileged, or otherwise protectable portions of the document 19 shall be filed. Any application that seeks to file documents under seal in their 20 entirety should include an explanation of why redaction is not feasible. 21 22 2. DEFINITIONS 23 2.1 Action: this pending federal lawsuit 24 2.2 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the 25 designation of information or items under this Order. 26 2.3 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information (regardless of 27 how it is generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for 28 protection under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), and as specified above in 4 TORRES\Stip Protective Order – Proposed Order Case 2:22-cv-04250-JFW-RAO Document 31 Filed 09/23/22 Page 5 of 16 Page ID #:221

1 support services (e.g., photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or 2 demonstrations, and organizing, storing, or retrieving data in any form or medium) 3 and their employees and subcontractors. 4 2.14 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is 5 designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” 6 2.15 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery 7 Material from a Producing Party. 8 9 3. SCOPE 10 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only 11 Protected Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or 12 extracted from Protected Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or 13 compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, conversations, or 14 presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. 15 Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the 16 trial judge. This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial. 17 18 4. DURATION 19 Even after final disposition of this litigation, the confidentiality obligations 20 imposed by this Order will remain in effect until a Designating Party agrees 21 otherwise in writing or a court order otherwise directs.

1 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 2 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. 3 Each Party or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under 4 this Order must take care to limit any such designation to specific material that 5 qualifies under the appropriate standards. The Designating Party must designate for 6 protection only those parts of material, documents, items or oral or written 7 communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, items 8 or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably 9 within the ambit of this Order. 10 Mass, indiscriminate or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations 11 that are shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper 12 purpose (e.g., to unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose 13 unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating 14 Party to sanctions. 15 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it 16 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must 17 promptly notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation. 18 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in 19 this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise 20 stipulated or ordered, Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection 21 under this Order must be clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or 22 produced. 23 Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 24 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic 25 documents, but excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial 26 proceedings), that the Producing Party affix at a minimum, the legend 27 “CONFIDENTIAL” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend”), to each page that 28 contains protected material. If only a portion of the material on a page qualifies for 7 TORRES\Stip Protective Order – Proposed Order Case 2:22-cv-04250-JFW-RAO Document 31 Filed 09/23/22 Page 8 of 16 Page ID #:224

1 protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) 2 (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins). 3 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection 4 need not designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated 5 which documents it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and 6 before the designation, all of the material made available for inspection shall be 7 deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the inspecting Party has identified the 8 documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which 9 documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this Order. Then, 10 before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the 11 “CONFIDENTIAL legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. If only a 12 portion of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also 13 must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings 14 in the margins). 15 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identifies 16 the Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the 17 deposition all protected testimony. 18 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and 19 for any other tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on 20 the exterior of the container or containers in which the information is stored the 21 legend “CONFIDENTIAL.” If only a portion or portions of the information 22 warrants protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the 23 protected portion(s). 24 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent 25 failure to designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive 26 the Designating Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. 27 Upon timely correction of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable 28 efforts to assure that the material is treated in accordance with the provisions of this 8 TORRES\Stip Protective Order – Proposed Order Case 2:22-cv-04250-JFW-RAO Document 31 Filed 09/23/22 Page 9 of 16 Page ID #:225

1 Order. 2 3 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 4 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a 5 designation of confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s 6 Scheduling Order. 7 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute 8 resolution process under Local Rule 37.1 et seq. 9 6.3 The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on 10 the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper 11 purpose (e.g., to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other 12 parties) may expose the Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating 13 Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality designation, all parties shall 14 continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to which it is 15 entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the 16 challenge. 17 18 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 19 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is 20 disclosed or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this 21 Action only for prosecuting, defending or attempting to settle this Action. Such 22 Protected Material may be disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the 23 conditions described in this Order. When the Action has been terminated, a 24 Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL 25 DISPOSITION). 26 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a 27 location and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons 28 authorized under this Order. 9 TORRES\Stip Protective Order – Proposed Order Case 2:22-cv-04250-JFW-RAO Document 31 Filed 09/23/22 Page 10 of 16 Page ID #:226

1 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless 2 otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a 3 Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated 4 “CONFIDENTIAL” only to: 5 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as 6 well as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably 7 necessary to disclose the information for this Action; 8 (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of 9 the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action; 10 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom 11 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the 12 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 13 (d) the court and its personnel; 14 (e) court reporters and their staff; 15 (f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional 16 Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have 17 signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 18 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a 19 custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information; 20 (h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the 21 Action to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing party 22 requests that the witness sign the form attached as Exhibit A hereto; and (2) they 23 will not be permitted to keep any confidential information unless they sign the 24 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise 25 agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the court. Pages of transcribed 26 deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may 27 be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except 28 as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and 10 TORRES\Stip Protective Order – Proposed Order Case 2:22-cv-04250-JFW-RAO Document 31 Filed 09/23/22 Page 11 of 16 Page ID #:227

1 (i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, 2 mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions. 3 4 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED 5 IN OTHER LITIGATION 6 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation 7 that compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as 8 “CONFIDENTIAL,” that Party must: 9 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification 10 shall include a copy of the subpoena or court order; 11 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order 12 to issue in the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the 13 subpoena or order is subject to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include 14 a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and 15 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be 16 pursued by the Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. 17 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with 18 the subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this 19 action as “CONFIDENTIAL” before a determination by the court from which the 20 subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating Party’s 21 permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking 22 protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions 23 should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action 24 to disobey a lawful directive from another court. 25 26 27 /// 28 /// 11 TORRES\Stip Protective Order – Proposed Order Case 2:22-cv-04250-JFW-RAO Document 31 Filed 09/23/22 Page 12 of 16 Page ID #:228

1 9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE 2 PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION 3 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a 4 Non-Party in this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL.” Such information 5 produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the 6 remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be 7 construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections. 8 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to 9 produce a Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is 10 subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s 11 confidential information, then the Party shall: 12 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party 13 that some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality 14 agreement with a Non-Party; 15 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 28 expense of seeking protection in this court of its Protected Material. 12 TORRES\Stip Protective Order – Proposed Order Case 2:22-cv-04250-JFW-RAO Document 31 Filed 09/23/22 Page 13 of 16 Page ID #:229

1 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 or 8 persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, 9 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 12 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE 13 PROTECTED MATERIAL 14 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain 15 inadvertently produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, 16 the obligations of the Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil 17 Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This provision is not intended to modify whatever 18 procedure may be established in an e-discovery order that provides for production 19 without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d) and 20 (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of disclosure of a 21 communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or work 22 product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated 23 protective order submitted to the court. 24 25 12. MISCELLANEOUS 26 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any 27 person to seek its modification by the Court in the future. 28 13 TORRES\Stip Protective Order – Proposed Order Case 2:22-cv-04250-JFW-RAO Document 31 Filed 09/23/22 Page 14 of 16 Page ID #:230

1 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this 2 Protective Order, no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to 3 disclosing or producing any information or item on any ground not addressed in this 4 Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any 5 ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered by this Protective Order. 6 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any 7 Protected Material must comply with Local Civil Rule 79-5. Protected Material 8 may only be filed under seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the 9 specific Protected Material at issue. If a Party’s request to file Protected Material 10 under seal is denied by the court, then the Receiving Party may file the information 11 in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the court. 12 13 13. FINAL DISPOSITION 14 After the final disposition of this Action, as defined in paragraph 4, within 60 15 days of a written request by the Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return 16 all Protected Material to the Producing Party or destroy such material. As used in 17 this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, 18 summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected 19 Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving 20 Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same 21 person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies 22 (by category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or 23 destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, 24 abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any 25 of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to 26 retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing 27 transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert 28 reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such 14 TORRES\Stip Protective Order – Proposed Order Case □□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□□ Document 31 Filed 09/23/22 Page 15of16 Page ID #:231
