1 Omid E. Khalifeh, SBN 267340 Xinlin Li Morrow (State Bar No. 281707) 2 Ariana Santoro, SBN 300767 [email protected] Louise Jillian Paris, SBN 347801 Morrow Ni LLP 3 OMNI LEGAL GROUP 3333 Michelson Drive, Suite 300 2029 Century Park E, Suite 438 Irvine, CA 92612 4 Los Angeles, California 90067 Telephone: (213) 282-8166 Phone: 310.276.6664 5 Facsimile: 310.305.1550 Attorneys for Defendant 6 [email protected] Botmakers LLC [email protected] 7 [email protected] 8 Attorneys for Plaintiff Jobiak LLC 9 10 11 12 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 13 FOR THE CENTRAL DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 14 15 JOBIAK, LLC., a Delaware Case No. 2:23-cv-08604-MEMF(MBKx) Limited Liability Company; 16 The Honorable Maame Ewusi-Mensah 17 Plaintiff, Frimpong 18 vs. The Honorable Michael B. Kaufman 19 STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER BOTMAKERS LLC, d.b.a. TARTA.AI, 20 a Delaware Limited Liability 21 Company 22 Defendant. 23 24 25 26 27 28 1 I. GENERAL 2 1.1. Purposes and Limitations. Discovery in this action is likely to involve production 3 of confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public 4 disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be warranted. 5 Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the following Stipulated 6 Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not confer blanket protections on 7 all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection it affords from public disclosure 8 and use extends only to the limited information or items that are entitled to confidential treatment 9 under the applicable legal principles. The parties further acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, 10 below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does not entitle them to file confidential information 11 under seal; Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the procedures that must be followed and the 12 standards that will be applied when a party seeks permission from the court to file material under 13 seal. 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 1 1.2. Good Cause Statement. Plaintiff and Defendants are competitors in the same 2 industry. This action is likely to involve trade secrets, customer and pricing lists and other 3 valuable research, development, commercial, financial, technical and/or proprietary information 4 for which special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than 5 prosecution of this action is warranted. Such confidential and proprietary materials and 6 information consist of, among other things, confidential business or financial information, 7 information regarding confidential business practices, or other confidential research, development, 8 or commercial information (including information implicating privacy rights of third parties), 9 information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or which may be privileged or 10 otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or 11 common law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt resolution 12 of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately protect information the 13 parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are permitted reasonable 14 necessary uses of such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their 15 handling at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a protective order for such 16 information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties that information will not be 17 designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing be so designated without a good 18 faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, non-public manner, and there is good 19 cause why it should not be part of the public record of this case. 20 1.3. Further, the parties believe there is good cause to designate two levels of 21 confidential information, “CONFIDENTIAL” and “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 22 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY,” given that Plaintiff and Defendants are competitors in the same 23 industry, and disclosure of certain sensitive business, financial, or strategic materials beyond 24 counsel may result in competitive harm. 25 II. DEFINITIONS 26 2.1. Action: this pending federal lawsuit. 27 28 1 2.2. Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the designation of 2 information or items under this Order. 3 2.3. “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information (regardless of how it is 4 generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for protection under Federal Rule 5 of Civil Procedure 26(c), and as specified above in the Good Cause Statement. 6 2.4. Counsel: Outside Counsel of Record. 7 2.5. Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates information or items that it 8 produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 9 CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”. 10 2.6. Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless of the 11 medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, among other things, 12 testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced or generated in disclosures or 13 responses to discovery in this matter. 14 2.7. Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter pertinent to 15 the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as an expert witness or as a 16 consultant in this Action. 17 2.8. “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Information or 18 Items: extremely sensitive “Confidential Information or Items,” disclosure of which to another 19 Party or Non-Party would create a substantial risk of serious harm that could not be avoided by 20 less restrictive means. 21 2.9. House Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a party to this Action. House 22 Counsel does not include Outside Counsel of Record or any other outside counsel. 23 2.10. Non-Party: any natural person, partnership, corporation, association, or other legal 24 entity not named as a Party to this Action. 25 2.11. Outside Counsel of Record: attorneys who are not employees of a party to this 26 Action but are retained to represent or advise a party to this Action and have appeared in this 27 Action on behalf of that party or are affiliated with a law firm that has appeared on behalf of that 28 party, including support staff. 1 2.12. Party: any party to this Action, including all of its officers, directors, employees, 2 consultants, retained experts, and Outside Counsel of Record (and their support staffs). 3 2.13. Producing Party: a Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or Discovery 4 Material in this Action. 5 2.14. Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation support services 6 (e.g., photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or demonstrations, and 7 organizing, storing, or retrieving data in any form or medium) and their employees and 8 subcontractors. 9 2.15. Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is designated as 10 “CONFIDENTIAL,” or as “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” 11 2.16. Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material from a 12 Producing Party. 13 III. SCOPE 14 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only Protected Material 15 (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted from Protected Material; (2) 16 all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and (3) any testimony, 17 conversations, or presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal Protected Material. 18 Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the trial judge. 19 This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial. 20 21 IV. DURATION 22 Once a case proceeds to trial, all of the court-filed information to be introduced that was 23 previously designated as confidential or maintained pursuant to this protective order becomes 24 public and will be presumptively available to all members of the public, including the press, 25 unless compelling reasons supported by specific factual findings to proceed otherwise are made to 26 the trial judge in advance of the trial. See Kamakana v. City and Cty. of Honolulu,
447 F.3d 1172, 27 1180-81 (9th Cir. 2006) (distinguishing “good cause” showing for sealing documents produced in 28 discovery from “compelling reasons” standard when merits-related documents are part of court 1 record). Accordingly, the terms of this protective order do not extend beyond the commencement 2 of the trial. 3 V. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 4 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each Party 5 or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take care to 6 limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate standards. 7 Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of material, documents, items, or 8 oral or written communications that qualify so that other portions of the material, documents, 9 items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are not swept unjustifiably within 10 the ambit of this Order. 11 Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are 12 shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to 13 unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose unnecessary expenses and 14 burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating Party to sanctions. 15 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it designated 16 for protection do not qualify for protection at all or do not qualify for the level of protection 17 initially asserted, that Designating Party must promptly notify all other Parties that it is 18 withdrawing the inapplicable designation. 19 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order 20 (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, 21 Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be clearly so 22 designated before the material is disclosed or produced. 23 Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 24 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, but 25 excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing Party 26 affix the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES 27 ONLY” to each page that contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material 28 1 on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected 2 portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the margins) and must specify, for each 3 portion, the level of protection being asserted. 4 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection need not 5 designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which document it 6 would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all of the 7 material made available for inspection shall be deemed “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 8 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” After the inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants 9 copied and produced, the Producing Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof, 10 qualify for protection under this Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the 11 Producing Party must affix the appropriate legend (“CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 12 CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” to each page that contains Protected Material. 13 If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party 14 also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate markings in the 15 margins) and must specify, for each portion, the level of protection being asserted. 16 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identify the Disclosure or 17 Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the deposition. 18 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any other 19 tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the container 20 or containers in which the information is stored the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY 21 CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”. If only a portion or portions of the 22 information warrants protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify the 23 protected portion(s) and specify the level of protection being asserted. 24 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to 25 designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating Party’s 26 right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction of a 27 designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material is treated 28 in accordance with the provisions of this Order. 1 VI. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 2 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of 3 confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s Scheduling Order. 4 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution 5 process under Local Rule 37-1, et seq, as modified by Judge Kaufman’s Procedures. See 6 https://www.cacd.uscourts.gov/honorable-michael-b-kaufman. Any discovery motion must strictly 7 comply with these procedures. 8 6.3 Burden. The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on the 9 Designating Party. Frivolous challenges and those made for an improper purpose (e.g., to harass 10 or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the Challenging Party 11 to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived or withdrawn the confidentiality 12 designation , all parties shall continue to afford the material in question the level of protection to 13 which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the challenge. 14 VII. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 15 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed or 16 produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this Action only for prosecuting, 17 defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such Protected Material may be disclosed only to 18 the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order. When the Action has 19 been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions of section 13 below (FINAL 20 DISPOSITION). 21 Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location and in 22 a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under this Order. 23 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered 24 by the Court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any 25 information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to: 26 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well as employees 27 of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information 28 1 for this Action; 2 (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the Receiving 3 Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action; 4 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is 5 reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement 6 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 Vendors to whom 10 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and 11 Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 12 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a custodian or other 13 person who otherwise possessed or knew the information; 14 (h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the Action to whom 15 disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing party requests that the witness sign 16 the form attached as Exhibit A hereto; and (2) they will not be permitted to keep any confidential 17 information unless they sign the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), 18 unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the Court. Pages of transcribed 19 deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal Protected Material may be separately 20 bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed to anyone except as permitted under this 21 Stipulated Protective Order; and 22 (i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, mutually agreed 23 upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions. 24 Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” Information 25 or Items. Unless otherwise ordered by the court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a 26 Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 27 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” only to: 28 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well as employees 1 of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose the information 2 for this litigation and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is 3 attached hereto as Exhibit A; 4 (b) Experts of the Receiving Party (1) to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this 5 litigation, (2) who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A), 6 and (3) as to whom the procedures set forth in paragraph 7.4(a), below, have been followed; 7 (c) the Court and its personnel; 8 (d) court reporters and their staff, professional jury or trial consultants, and Professional 9 Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this litigation and who have signed the 10 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); and 11 (e) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a custodian or other 12 person who otherwise possessed or knew the information. 13 VIII. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN 14 OTHER LITIGATION 15 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that compels 16 disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as “CONFIDENTIAL” or 17 “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” that Party must: 18 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include a copy 19 of the subpoena or court order; 20 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to issue in the 21 other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or order is subject to this 22 Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated Protective Order; and 23 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by the 24 Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. 25 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the 26 subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this Action as 27 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” before a 28 1 determination by the court from which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained 2 the Designating Party’s permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of 3 seeking protection in that court of its confidential material – and nothing in these provisions 4 should be construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action to disobey a 5 lawful directive from another court. 6 IX. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN THIS 7 LITIGATION 8 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-Party in 9 this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – 10 ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY”. Such information produced by Non-Parties in connection with 11 this litigation is protected by the remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these 12 provisions should be construed as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections. 13 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce a Non- 14 Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement with the 15 Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then the Party shall: 16 1. promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that 17 some or all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non- 18 Party; 19 2. promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective 20 Order in this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of the 21 information requested; and 22 3. make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party, 23 if requested. 24 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this Court within 14 days of 25 receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may produce the Non- 26 Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-Party timely seeks 27 a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its possession or 28 1 control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party before a determination 2 by the Court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall bear the burden and 3 expense of seeking protection in this Court of its Protected Material. 4 X. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 5 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed Protected 6 Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated Protective 7 Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating Party of the 8 unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized copies of the Protected 9 Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized disclosures were made of all the 10 terms of this Order, and (d) request such person or persons to execute the “Acknowledgment and 11 Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 12 13 XI. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED 14 MATERIAL 15 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain inadvertently 16 produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the obligations of the 17 Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This 18 provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery 19 order that provides for production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule of 20 Evidence 502(d) and (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 product 22 protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated protective order submitted 23 to the Court. 24 XII. MISCELLANEOUS 25 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person to 26 seek its modification by the Court in the future. 27 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective 28 1 Order no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing any 2 information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. Similarly, no 3 Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the material covered 4 by this Protective Order. 5 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected 6 Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may only be filed under seal 7 pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at issue; good 8 cause must be shown in the request to file under seal. If a Party's request to file Protected Material 9 under seal is denied by the Court, then the Receiving Party may file the information in the public 10 record unless otherwise instructed by the Court. 11 XIII. FINAL DISPOSITION 12 After the final disposition of this Action, within 60 days of a written request by the 13 Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing Party 14 or destroy such material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, 15 abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the 16 Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the Receiving Party 17 must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the same person or entity, to 18 the Designating Party) by the 60-day deadline that (1) identifies (by category, where appropriate) 19 all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed and (2) affirms that the Receiving Party 20 has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries or any other format reproducing or 21 capturing any of the Protected Material. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to 22 retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, 23 legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work 24 product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials contain Protected 25 Material. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to 26 this Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION). 27
