PROTECTIVE ORDER RE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

DOUGLAS F. McCORMICK, Magistrate Judge.

On or about April 16, 2018, the parties stipulated to a protective order regarding confidential information and seek to have a protective order entered by the Court based on that stipulation. The stipulation has been filed with the Court. Based on that Stipulation and it appearing that the information is confidential and good cause appearing therefor, the following Protective Order shall apply to any Documents produced by the parties in this action:

1. GOOD CAUSE STATEMENT: This action involves information for which special protection from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecution of this action is warranted. Such confidential materials and information consist of Plaintiff's mental health records, the police investigation and the City of Anaheim Police Department's Body Worn Camera videos (which includes information implicating privacy rights of third parties), information otherwise generally unavailable to the public, or which may be privileged or otherwise protected from disclosure under state or federal statutes, court rules, case decisions, or common law. Accordingly, to expedite the flow of information, to facilitate the prompt resolution of disputes over confidentiality of discovery materials, to adequately protect information the parties are entitled to keep confidential, to ensure that the parties are 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 protective order for such information is justified in this matter. This Protective Order does not apply to documents provided to the Plaintiff during her underlying criminal action. These documents include, and are limited to the body worn camera footage from Michael Lozeau's body camera and the Arrest Report.

2. The Attorneys for the Plaintiff shall receive from the Defendants a copy of the police investigation and the Anaheim Police Department Body Worn Camera videos in connection with the incident and arrest of Plaintiff ("File"). The Attorneys for the Defendants shall receive from the Plaintiff a copy of the Plaintiff's relevant mental health records.

3. Attorneys for the parties shall personally secure and maintain the File in their possession to the end that the File is to be used only for the purposes set forth below and for no other purpose.

4. Counsels' copy of the investigation File shall only be used for preparing for and prosecuting/defense ofthis case pending the completion of the judicial process including appeal, if any. No copies of the File shall be made, except to provide a copy to an expert who must agree to be bound by the Protective Order.

5. If necessary in the judgment of the attorneys for the parties in this case, they may make a copy of the File for their expert if the same may actively assist in the prosecution of this case, as long as the expert agrees to be bound by the terms of this Protective Order. No other copies may be made.

6. Duration: Once a case proceeds to trial, all of the information that was designated as confidential or maintained pursuant to this protective order becomes public unless compelling reasons supported by specific factual findings to proceed otherwise are made to the trial judge in advance of the trial. Kamakana v. City and County of Honolulu (9th Cir. 2006) 447 F.3d 1172, 1180-1181 (distinguishing "good cause" showing for sealing documents produced in discovery from "compelling reasons" standard when merits-related documents are part of court record). Accordingly, the terms of this protective order do not extend beyond the commencement of the trial.

7. Final Disposition: After the final disposition of this Action, Counsel for the parties shall return all Protected Material and/or Confidential Information to counsel for the City or shall destroy such material, including all copies and extracts thereof, abstracts, compilations, summaries, and any other format reproducing or capturing any of the Protected Material and/or Confidential Information with the exception of those documents affected by the attorney work-product doctrine or attorney-client privilege. Notwithstanding this provision, Counsel are entitled to retain an archival copy of all pleadings, motion papers, trial, deposition, and hearing transcripts, legal memoranda, correspondence, deposition and trial exhibits, expert reports, attorney work product, and consultant and expert work product, even if such materials contain material Protected Material and/or Confidential Information produced subject to this order. Any such archival copies that contain or constitute Protected Material and/or Confidential Information remain subject to this Protective Order.

8. Attorneys for the parties shall cause the substance of this order to be communicated to each person to whom the File is revealed in accordance with this order and prior to disclosure of the Confidential Information, have such person execute a written Understanding and Agreement to be bound by this Stipulation for Protective Order in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.

9. The attorneys for the parties shall not cause or knowingly permit disclosure of the contents of the File beyond the disclosure permitted under the terms and conditions of this order, including but not limited to any news media which is inclusive of film or video, television, radio or print.
