21 WILLIAM JOINER., an Individual, ) CASE NO.: 8:24-cv-01160-CBM-KS ) 22 ) STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER Plaintiff, ) 23 ) Assigned to Judge: v. ) Hon. Consuelo B. Marshall 24 ) ) Discovery Matters, Magistrate Judge: 25 CHANNEL 5, LLC, et al, ) Hon. Karen L. Stevenson ) 26 ) Defendants. ) 27 ) ) 28 1 Plaintiff William Joiner (“Plaintiff” or “Mr. Joiner”) and Defendants Andrew 2 Callaghan, Channel 5 LLC, Evan Gilbert-Katz, and Nicolas Mosher (“Defendants”) 3 (together with Plaintiff, the “Parties”) hereby stipulate to the Court’s Preferred Form 4 Protective Order as follows:

5 1. GENERAL 6 1.1 Purposes and Limitations. Discovery in this action is likely to involve production 7 of confidential, proprietary, or private information for which special protection from public 8 disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation may be 9 warranted. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and petition the Court to enter the 10 following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties acknowledge that this Order does not 11 confer blanket protections on all disclosures or responses to discovery and that the protection 12 it affords from public disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or items that 13 are entitled to confidential treatment under the applicable legal principles. The parties further 14 acknowledge, as set forth in Section 12.3, below, that this Stipulated Protective Order does 15 not entitle them to file confidential information. Civil Local Rule 79-5 sets forth the 16 procedures that must be followed and the standards that will be applied when a party seeks 17 permission from the court to file material under seal. 18 1.2 Good Cause Statement. 19 This action is likely to involve unpublished newsgathering information, trade secrets, 20 customer and pricing lists and other valuable research, development, commercial, financial, 21 technical and/or proprietary information for which special protection from public disclosure 22 and from use for any purpose other than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such 23 confidential and proprietary materials and information consist of, among other things, unpublished newsgathering information, confidential business or financial information, 24 information regarding confidential business practices, or other confidential research, 25 development, or commercial information (including information implicating privacy rights 26 of third parties), information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or which may be 27 privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, 28 1 case decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate 2 the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately 3 protect information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are 4 permitted reasonable necessary uses of such material in preparation for and in the conduct of trial, to address their handling at the end of the litigation, and serve the ends of justice, a 5 protective order for such information is justified in this matter. It is the intent of the parties 6 that information will not be designated as confidential for tactical reasons and that nothing 7 be so designated without a good faith belief that it has been maintained in a confidential, 8 non-public manner, and there is good cause why it should not be part of the public record of 9 this case. 10

11 2. DEFINITIONS 12 2.1 Action: Joiner v. Channel 5, LLC, et al, 8:24-cv-01160-CBM-KS. 13 2.2 “ATTORNEYS-EYES ONLY” Information or Items: extremely sensitive 14 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items, the disclosure of which to another Party or Non- 15 Party would create a substantial risk of serious harm that could not be avoided by less 16 restrictive means. 17 2.3 Challenging Party: a Party or Non-Party that challenges the designation of 18 information or items under this Order. 19 2.4 “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items: information (regardless of how it is 20 generated, stored or maintained) or tangible things that qualify for protection under Federal 21 Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c), and as specified above in the Good Cause Statement. 22 2.5 Counsel: Outside Counsel of Record (as well as their support staff). 23 2.6 Designating Party: a Party or Non-Party that designates information or items that it produces in disclosures or in responses to discovery as “CONFIDENTIAL.” 24 2.7 Disclosure or Discovery Material: all items or information, regardless of the 25 medium or manner in which it is generated, stored, or maintained (including, among other 26 things, testimony, transcripts, and tangible things), that are produced or generated in 27 disclosures or responses to discovery in this matter. 28 1 2.8 Expert: a person with specialized knowledge or experience in a matter pertinent 2 to the litigation who has been retained by a Party or its counsel to serve as an expert witness 3 or as a consultant in this Action. 4 2.9 House Counsel: attorneys who are employees of a party to this Action. House Counsel does not include Outside Counsel of Record or any other outside counsel. 5 2.10 Non-Party: any natural person, partnership, corporation, association, or other 6 legal entity not named as a Party to this action. 7 2.11 Outside Counsel of Record: attorneys who are not employees of a party to this 8 Action but are retained to represent or advise a party to this Action and have appeared in this 9 Action on behalf of that party or are affiliated with a law firm that has appeared on behalf of 10 that party, including support staff. 11 2.12 Party: any party to this Action, including all of its officers, directors, employees, 12 consultants, retained experts, and Outside Counsel of Record (and their support staffs). 13 2.13 Producing Party: a Party or Non-Party that produces Disclosure or Discovery 14 Material in this Action. 15 2.14 Professional Vendors: persons or entities that provide litigation support services 16 (e.g., photocopying, videotaping, translating, preparing exhibits or demonstrations, and 17 organizing, storing, or retrieving data in any form or medium) and their employees and 18 subcontractors. 19 2.15 Protected Material: any Disclosure or Discovery Material that is designated as 20 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY.” 21 2.16 Receiving Party: a Party that receives Disclosure or Discovery Material from a 22 Producing Party. 23 3. SCOPE 24 The protections conferred by this Stipulation and Order cover not only Protected 25 Material (as defined above), but also (1) any information copied or extracted from Protected 26 Material; (2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of Protected Material; and (3) 27 28 1 any testimony, conversations, or presentations by Parties or their Counsel that might reveal 2 Protected Material. 3 Any use of Protected Material at trial shall be governed by the orders of the trial judge. 4 This Order does not govern the use of Protected Material at trial.

5 4. DURATION 6 Once a case proceeds to trial, all of the court-filed information to be introduced that 7 was previously designated as confidential or maintained pursuant to this protective order 8 becomes public and will be presumptively available to all members of the public, including 9 the press, unless compelling reasons supported by specific factual findings to proceed 10 otherwise are made to the trial judge in advance of the trial. See Kamakana v. City and Cty. 11 of Honolulu,

447 F.3d 1172

, 1180-81 (9th Cir. 2006) (distinguishing “good cause” showing 12 for sealing documents produced in discovery from “compelling reasons” standard when 13 merits-related documents are part of court record). Accordingly, the terms of this protective 14 order do not extend beyond the commencement of the trial. 15

16 5. DESIGNATING PROTECTED MATERIAL 17 5.1 Exercise of Restraint and Care in Designating Material for Protection. Each Party 18 or Non-Party that designates information or items for protection under this Order must take 19 care to limit any such designation to specific material that qualifies under the appropriate 20 standards. The Designating Party must designate for protection only those parts of material, 21 documents, items, or oral or written communications that qualify so that other portions of 22 the material, documents, items, or communications for which protection is not warranted are 23 not swept unjustifiably within the ambit of this Order. Mass, indiscriminate, or routinized designations are prohibited. Designations that are 24 shown to be clearly unjustified or that have been made for an improper purpose (e.g., to 25 unnecessarily encumber the case development process or to impose unnecessary expenses 26 and burdens on other parties) may expose the Designating Party to sanctions. 27 28 1 If it comes to a Designating Party’s attention that information or items that it 2 designated for protection do not qualify for protection, that Designating Party must promptly 3 notify all other Parties that it is withdrawing the inapplicable designation. 4 5.2 Manner and Timing of Designations. Except as otherwise provided in this Order (see, e.g., second paragraph of section 5.2(a) below), or as otherwise stipulated or ordered, 5 Disclosure or Discovery Material that qualifies for protection under this Order must be 6 clearly so designated before the material is disclosed or produced. 7 Designation in conformity with this Order requires: 8 (a) for information in documentary form (e.g., paper or electronic documents, but 9 excluding transcripts of depositions or other pretrial or trial proceedings), that the Producing 10 Party affix, at a minimum, the legend “CONFIDENTIAL” or “ATTORNEYS’ EYES 11 ONLY” (hereinafter “CONFIDENTIAL legend” or “AEO legend”), to each page that 12 contains protected material. If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies 13 for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., 14 by making appropriate markings in the margins). 15 A Party or Non-Party that makes original documents available for inspection need not 16 designate them for protection until after the inspecting Party has indicated which documents 17 it would like copied and produced. During the inspection and before the designation, all of 18 the material made available for inspection shall be deemed “CONFIDENTIAL.” After the 19 inspecting Party has identified the documents it wants copied and produced, the Producing 20 Party must determine which documents, or portions thereof, qualify for protection under this 21 Order. Then, before producing the specified documents, the Producing Party must affix the 22 “CONFIDENTIAL legend” or “AEO legend” to each page that contains Protected Material. 23 If only a portion or portions of the material on a page qualifies for protection, the Producing Party also must clearly identify the protected portion(s) (e.g., by making appropriate 24 markings in the margins). 25 (b) for testimony given in depositions that the Designating Party identify the 26 Disclosure or Discovery Material on the record, before the close of the deposition. 27 28 1 (c) for information produced in some form other than documentary and for any other 2 tangible items, that the Producing Party affix in a prominent place on the exterior of the 3 container or containers in which the information is stored the as “CONFIDENTIAL” or 4 “ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY” (as the case may be). If only a portion or portions of the information warrants protection, the Producing Party, to the extent practicable, shall identify 5 the protected portion(s). 6 5.3 Inadvertent Failures to Designate. If timely corrected, an inadvertent failure to 7 designate qualified information or items does not, standing alone, waive the Designating 8 Party’s right to secure protection under this Order for such material. Upon timely correction 9 of a designation, the Receiving Party must make reasonable efforts to assure that the material 10 is treated in accordance with the provisions of this Order. 11

12 6. CHALLENGING CONFIDENTIALITY DESIGNATIONS 13 6.1 Timing of Challenges. Any Party or Non-Party may challenge a designation of 14 confidentiality at any time that is consistent with the Court’s Scheduling Order. 15 6.2 Meet and Confer. The Challenging Party shall initiate the dispute resolution 16 process under Local Rule 37-1, et seq. Any discovery motion must strictly comply with the 17 procedures set forth in Local Rules 37-1, 37-2, and 37-3. 18 6.3 Burden. The burden of persuasion in any such challenge proceeding shall be on 19 the Designating Party. Frivolous challenges, and those made for an improper purpose (e.g., 20 to harass or impose unnecessary expenses and burdens on other parties) may expose the 21 Challenging Party to sanctions. Unless the Designating Party has waived or withdrawn the 22 confidentiality designation, all parties shall continue to afford the material in question the 23 level of protection to which it is entitled under the Producing Party’s designation until the Court rules on the challenge. 24

25 7. ACCESS TO AND USE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 26 7.1 Basic Principles. A Receiving Party may use Protected Material that is disclosed 27 or produced by another Party or by a Non-Party in connection with this Action only for 28 1 prosecuting, defending, or attempting to settle this Action. Such Protected Material may be 2 disclosed only to the categories of persons and under the conditions described in this Order. 3 When the Action has been terminated, a Receiving Party must comply with the provisions 4 of section 13 below (FINAL DISPOSITION). Protected Material must be stored and maintained by a Receiving Party at a location 5 and in a secure manner that ensures that access is limited to the persons authorized under this 6 Order. 7 7.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information or Items. Unless otherwise 8 ordered by the Court or permitted in writing by the Designating Party, a Receiving Party may 9 disclose any information or item designated “CONFIDENTIAL” only to: 10 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well as 11 employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to disclose 12 the information for this Action; 13 (b) the officers, directors, and employees (including House Counsel) of the Receiving 14 Party to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action; 15 (c) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom disclosure is 16 reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and 17 Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 18 (d) the Court and its personnel; 19 (e) court reporters and their staff; 20 (f) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional Vendors to 21 whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the 22 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 23 (g) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information; 24 (h) during their depositions, witnesses, and attorneys for witnesses, in the Action to 25 whom disclosure is reasonably necessary provided: (1) the deposing party requests that the 26 witness sign the form attached as Exhibit A hereto; and (2) they will not be permitted to keep 27 any confidential information unless they sign the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be 28 1 Bound” (Exhibit A), unless otherwise agreed by the Designating Party or ordered by the 2 Court. Pages of transcribed deposition testimony or exhibits to depositions that reveal 3 Protected Material may be separately bound by the court reporter and may not be disclosed 4 to anyone except as permitted under this Stipulated Protective Order; and (i) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, mutually agreed 5 upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions. 6 7.3 Disclosure of “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL – ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” 7 Information or Items. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court or permitted in writing by the 8 Designating Party, a Receiving Party may disclose any information or item designated 9 “HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL” only to: 10 (a) the Receiving Party’s Outside Counsel of Record in this Action, as well 11 as employees of said Outside Counsel of Record to whom it is reasonably necessary to 12 disclose the information for this Action; 13 (b) Experts (as defined in this Order) of the Receiving Party to whom 14 disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the 15 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 16 (c) the Court and its personnel; 17 (d) private court reporters and their staff to whom disclosure is reasonably 18 necessary for this Action and who have signed the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be 19 Bound” (Exhibit A); 20 (e) professional jury or trial consultants, mock jurors, and Professional 21 Vendors to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for this Action and who have signed the 22 “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” (Exhibit A); 23 (f) the author or recipient of a document containing the information or a custodian or other person who otherwise possessed or knew the information; and 24 (g) any mediator or settlement officer, and their supporting personnel, 25 mutually agreed upon by any of the parties engaged in settlement discussions. 26

27 \\ 28 1 8. PROTECTED MATERIAL SUBPOENAED OR ORDERED PRODUCED IN 2 OTHER LITIGATION 3 If a Party is served with a subpoena or a court order issued in other litigation that 4 compels disclosure of any information or items designated in this Action as “CONFIDENTIAL,” or “ATTORNEYS’ EYES ONLY” (as the case may be), that Party 5 must: 6 (a) promptly notify in writing the Designating Party. Such notification shall include a 7 copy of the subpoena or court order; 8 (b) promptly notify in writing the party who caused the subpoena or order to issue in 9 the other litigation that some or all of the material covered by the subpoena or order is subject 10 to this Protective Order. Such notification shall include a copy of this Stipulated Protective 11 Order; and 12 (c) cooperate with respect to all reasonable procedures sought to be pursued by the 13 Designating Party whose Protected Material may be affected. 14 If the Designating Party timely seeks a protective order, the Party served with the 15 subpoena or court order shall not produce any information designated in this action as 16 “CONFIDENTIAL” or “ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY” before a determination by the court 17 from which the subpoena or order issued, unless the Party has obtained the Designating 18 Party’s permission. The Designating Party shall bear the burden and expense of seeking 19 protection in that court of its confidential material and nothing in these provisions should be 20 construed as authorizing or encouraging a Receiving Party in this Action to disobey a lawful 21 directive from another court. 22 23 9. A NON-PARTY’S PROTECTED MATERIAL SOUGHT TO BE PRODUCED IN THIS LITIGATION 24 (a) The terms of this Order are applicable to information produced by a Non-Party in 25 this Action and designated as “CONFIDENTIAL” or “ATTORNEYS EYES ONLY.” Such 26 information produced by Non-Parties in connection with this litigation is protected by the 27 28 1 remedies and relief provided by this Order. Nothing in these provisions should be construed 2 as prohibiting a Non-Party from seeking additional protections. 3 (b) In the event that a Party is required, by a valid discovery request, to produce a 4 Non-Party’s confidential information in its possession, and the Party is subject to an agreement with the Non-Party not to produce the Non-Party’s confidential information, then 5 the Party shall: 6 (1) promptly notify in writing the Requesting Party and the Non-Party that some or 7 all of the information requested is subject to a confidentiality agreement with a Non-Party; 8 (2) promptly provide the Non-Party with a copy of the Stipulated Protective Order in 9 this Action, the relevant discovery request(s), and a reasonably specific description of the 10 information requested; and 11 (3) make the information requested available for inspection by the Non-Party, if 12 requested. 13 (c) If the Non-Party fails to seek a protective order from this Court within 14 days of 14 receiving the notice and accompanying information, the Receiving Party may produce the 15 Non-Party’s confidential information responsive to the discovery request. If the Non-Party 16 timely seeks a protective order, the Receiving Party shall not produce any information in its 17 possession or control that is subject to the confidentiality agreement with the Non-Party 18 before a determination by the Court. Absent a court order to the contrary, the Non-Party shall 19 bear the burden and expense of seeking protection in this Court of its Protected Material. 20 21 10. UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE OF PROTECTED MATERIAL 22 If a Receiving Party learns that, by inadvertence or otherwise, it has disclosed 23 Protected Material to any person or in any circumstance not authorized under this Stipulated Protective Order, the Receiving Party must immediately (a) notify in writing the Designating 24 Party of the unauthorized disclosures, (b) use its best efforts to retrieve all unauthorized 25 copies of the Protected Material, (c) inform the person or persons to whom unauthorized 26 disclosures were made of all the terms of this Order, and (d) request such person or persons 27 28 1 to execute the “Acknowledgment and Agreement to Be Bound” that is attached hereto as 2 Exhibit A. 3 4 11. INADVERTENT PRODUCTION OF PRIVILEGED OR OTHERWISE PROTECTED MATERIAL 5 When a Producing Party gives notice to Receiving Parties that certain inadvertently 6 produced material is subject to a claim of privilege or other protection, the obligations of the 7 Receiving Parties are those set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(b)(5)(B). This 8 provision is not intended to modify whatever procedure may be established in an e-discovery 9 order that provides for production without prior privilege review. Pursuant to Federal Rule 10 of Evidence 502(d) and (e), insofar as the parties reach an agreement on the effect of 11 disclosure of a communication or information covered by the attorney-client privilege or 12 work product protection, the parties may incorporate their agreement in the stipulated 13 protective order submitted to the Court. 14

15 12. MISCELLANEOUS 16 12.1 Right to Further Relief. Nothing in this Order abridges the right of any person to 17 seek its modification by the Court in the future. 18 12.2 Right to Assert Other Objections. By stipulating to the entry of this Protective 19 Order, no Party waives any right it otherwise would have to object to disclosing or producing 20 any information or item on any ground not addressed in this Stipulated Protective Order. 21 Similarly, no Party waives any right to object on any ground to use in evidence of any of the 22 material covered by this Protective Order. 23 12.3 Filing Protected Material. A Party that seeks to file under seal any Protected Material must comply with Civil Local Rule 79-5. Protected Material may only be filed under 24 seal pursuant to a court order authorizing the sealing of the specific Protected Material at 25 issue; good cause must be shown in the request to file under seal. If a Party’s request to file 26 Protected Material under seal is denied by the Court, then the Receiving Party may file the 27 information in the public record unless otherwise instructed by the Court. 28 1 13. FINAL DISPOSITION 2 After the final disposition of this Action, within 60 days of a written request by the 3 Designating Party, each Receiving Party must return all Protected Material to the Producing 4 Party or destroy such material. As used in this subdivision, “all Protected Material” includes all copies, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing 5 any of the Protected Material. Whether the Protected Material is returned or destroyed, the 6 Receiving Party must submit a written certification to the Producing Party (and, if not the 7 same person or entity, to the Designating Party) by the 60 day deadline that (1) identifies (by 8 category, where appropriate) all the Protected Material that was returned or destroyed, and 9 (2) affirms that the Receiving Party has not retained any copies, abstracts, compilations, 10 summaries or any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material. 11 Notwithstanding this provision, counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all 12 pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, 13 correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and 14 consultant and expert work product, even if such materials contain Protected Material. Any 15 such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material remain subject to this 16 Protective Order as set forth in Section 4 (DURATION). 17 18 14. VIOLATION OF ORDER 19 Any violation of this Order may be punished by any and all appropriate measures 20 including, without limitation, contempt proceedings and/or monetary sanctions. 21 22 \\ 23 \\ \\ 24 \\ 25 \\ 26 \\ 27 \\ 28 1 IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD, 2 3 || Dated: July 11, 2025 /s/ Meghan C.
