M/V MARJORIE C, her engines, apparel, electronics, tackle, boats, appurtenances, etc., in rem, Third-Party Defendant. 9 10 11 This matter comes before the Court on the parties’ Joint Motion for Protective Order 12 (ECF No. 84), filed on February 3, 2021. Upon review and consideration, the Court 13 GRANTS the Joint Motion and enters the parties’ stipulated Protective Order as follows: 14 This case stems from an alleged injury suffered by plaintiff Anthony McAllister 15 suffered while on the gangway for U.S.S. MAKIN ISLAND (LHD-8) when this Navy 16 warship was pierside at Naval Base San Diego. Because of the involvement of this Navy 17 warship and sensitive security information and materials, and with the agreement of the 18 parties, the Court has determined that there is good cause for issuance of a Protective Order 19 pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 26(c) to govern the disclosure, use, and 20 handling by the parties and their respective agents, successors, and personal representatives 21 of certain information and items produced and received in discovery in the above-captioned 22 action. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED: 23 A. 24 25 26 Definitions 1. “Action” or “Lawsuit” shall mean the above-captioned case in the Southern District of California, Case No. 3:19-cv-01490-MMA(AHG). 2. “Confidential Information” shall mean information that, at the time of its 27 production in discovery in the action, or thereafter, is designated confidential by counsel 28 for the United States because of a good faith belief that the information: (a) is not in the 2 3:19-cv-01490-MMA-AHG 1 public domain, or if in the public domain, is improperly in the public domain; and (b) is 2 material produced by or on behalf of the United States, including the United States Navy, 3 and which is restricted insofar as the receipt, viewing, use of, possession, and dissemination 4 of such documents and information, due to inclusion of sensitive and controlled 5 unclassified information concerning the military, military operations, and national security, 6 such sensitive and confidential information and materials to include, but not be limited to, 7 materials subject to U.S. export laws and regulations, the International Traffic in Arms 8 Regulation (“ITAR”), 22 C.F.R. § 120, et seq., and National Defense Information (NDI) 9 within the meaning of 18 U.S.C. § 793(d) and (f): and (c) information that reveals trade 10 secrets, intellectual property, or proprietary business information. Further, such documents 11 and information that are subject to export control regulations shall be marked with the 12 additional following warning and restriction: 13 “CONFIDENTIAL – EXPORT CONTROLLED DOCUMENT” 14 This Protective Order does not specify the procedures under which access to 15 classified information, if any, is to be provided and shall not be construed as requiring the 16 production of any information that is classified for reasons of national security. Access to 17 such information shall be governed solely by existing laws and regulations pertaining to 18 national security. 19 3. “Disclose” (or forms thereof) shall mean to distribute, provide, or otherwise 20 make available for access, viewing, or copying. “Disclose” shall include the actual covered 21 document or item as well as the contents or information contained therein, such that 22 disclosing a copy, summary, paraphrasing, or characterization would be considered a 23 disclosure of the document itself for purposes of this Protective Order. 24 25 26 27 28 4. “Document” shall mean all items listed in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 34(a)(1)(A) & B. 5. “Challenging Party” shall mean any party who challenges the designation of information as Confidential Information under this Protective Order. 6. “Designating Party” and “Producing Party” shall mean the United States. 3 3:19-cv-01490-MMA-AHG 1 2 7. “Receiving Party” shall mean any party who receives information that has been designated as Confidential Information. 3 8. “Derivative Documents” are documents that copy, include, and/or are derived 4 from documents that are subject to the protections of this Protective Order. 5 B. 6 Purpose, Scope, and Limitations of Protective Order 1. This Protective Order applies to discovery, pre-trial and (to the extent 7 approved by the Court) trial and post-trial proceedings in this action, whether the 8 Documents are produced by a party or a person or entity who is not a party to this action 9 (a “non-party”). This Order binds the Parties and their respective agents, successors, 10 11 personal representatives, and assignees. 2. Nothing in this Protective Order supersedes existing independent statutory, 12 law enforcement, national security, or regulatory obligations imposed on a Party, and this 13 Protective Order does not prohibit or absolve the Parties from complying with such other 14 obligations. 15 3. This Protective Order shall not prejudice in any way any party’s ability to 16 challenge the use or disclosure of information other than information designated as 17 Confidential Information under this Protective Order in this Action. A party’s compliance 18 with the terms of this Protective Order shall not operate as an admission that any particular 19 material is or is not (a) confidential, (b) privileged, or (c) admissible in evidence at trial. 20 4. The protections conferred by this Protective Order do not cover any 21 information that (i) is properly in the public domain; (ii) becomes part of the public domain 22 after its disclosure to a Receiving Party as a result of publication not involving a violation 23 of this Protective Order, including becoming part of the public record in this Action through 24 trial or otherwise; or (iii) is known to the Receiving Party prior to the disclosure or obtained 25 by the Receiving Party after the disclosure from a source who obtained the information 26 lawfully and under no obligation of confidentiality to the Producing Party. 27 28 5. This Protective Order does not govern the use by the Parties of Confidential Information in open court at any hearing or trial, but the Parties reserve the right to seek 4 3:19-cv-01490-MMA-AHG 1 relief from the Court in connection with the intended use of Confidential Information in 2 any such hearing or trial. 3 6. This Protective Order governs the Receiving Party’s disclosure, use, and 4 handling of all Confidential Information, regardless of the format or medium in which such 5 Confidential Information is generated, stored, or maintained. 6 7. Any Confidential Information referenced in any pleading or contained in any 7 Document filed with the Court in this Action by the Producing Party shall at the time of 8 filing cease to be Confidential Information unless the Producing Party files the un-redacted 9 pleading or Document under seal. 10 8. Nothing in this Protective Order shall restrict the right of the Producing Party 11 to use its own Confidential Information for any purpose whatsoever, but if any such use 12 results in a disclosure that causes the Confidential Information to lose its designation as 13 Confidential Information, then it shall no longer be subject to any protection under this 14 Protective Order. 15 16 9. This Protective Order applies only to disclosures, uses, and handling of Confidential Information occurring after the entry of this Protective Order. 17 10. Neither the termination of this Action nor the termination of employment of 18 any person who has had access to any Confidential Information shall relieve such person 19 of his or her obligations under this Protective Order, which shall survive. 20 11. Any party may at any time seek modification of this Order by agreement or, 21 failing agreement, by motion to the Court. 22 C. 23 Method for Designating Confidential Information 1. Designations of Confidential Information shall be made by the Producing 24 Party, prior to or at the time of production, except as otherwise provided by this Protective 25 Order. 26 2. The Designation of Confidential Information should be limited only to those 27 Documents or portions of Documents that qualify under the appropriate standards or under 28 the definition of “Confidential Information” in Section A (2) of this Protective Order. 5 3:19-cv-01490-MMA-AHG 1 Recognizing the significant burden such designation places on the Receiving Parties, the 2 Producing Party will exercise due diligence to narrowly tailor any designation of 3 Confidential Information to only those documents or portions thereof which it, in good 4 faith, considers require such designation. 5 3. Documents containing “Confidential Information” and produced in discovery 6 in this Action shall be designated as containing “Confidential Information.” For such 7 documents produced in paper or an electronic form that allows endorsements or similar 8 designation on the image, the designation shall appear by the inclusion of the marking of a 9 “Confidential Information” or similar designation on each page of the document asserted 10 to contain Confidential Information. For electronic information that is provided in native 11 form or a format that is not amenable to visible endorsement on the image, the file name(s) 12 shall begin with “Confidential Information” or similar designation. Any subsequent 13 printed copy of such native files shall be accompanied by the image cover sheet that bears 14 the Protective Order designation specified on the native image cover sheet. The media on 15 which the Confidential Information is provided (e.g., CD, DVD, external hard drive) also 16 must be and remain plainly labeled with “Confidential Information” or similar designation 17 unless and until the protection of the data within the media is removed. Any copying or 18 transferring of electronic files that are designated as Confidential Information must be done 19 in a manner that maintains the protection for all copies, including, but not limited to, in the 20 filename(s) and the location where the copies are stored and users’ access thereto. Any 21 “Derivative Documents” must maintain the same level of marking (i.e., “CONFIDENTIAL 22 INFORMATION” or “CONFIDENTIAL – EXPORT CONTROLLED DOCUMENT”, as 23 applicable) as the source document from which it is derived, and the “Receiving Party” 24 does not have discretion to modify, alter, or change the marking. 25 4. For interrogatory answers and responses to requests for admissions, 26 designation of Confidential Information shall be made by placing within each numbered 27 interrogatory answer or response to requests for admission asserted to contain Sensitive 28 Information the following: “Confidential Information” or similar designation. 6 3:19-cv-01490-MMA-AHG 1 5. For depositions, designation of Confidential Information shall be made during 2 the deposition on the record or by letter from counsel within thirty (30) days of receipt of 3 the official deposition transcript or copy thereof (or written notification that the transcript 4 is available), listing the specific pages and lines of the transcript and/or any exhibits that 5 should be treated as Confidential Information. The entire deposition transcript (including 6 any exhibits not previously produced in discovery in this Action) shall be treated as 7 Confidential Information under this Protective Order until the expiration of the above- 8 referenced 30-day period for designation, except that the deponent (and his or her counsel, 9 if any) may review the transcript of his or her own deposition during the 30-day period 10 subject to this Protective Order and the requirement of executing the certification attached 11 as Exhibit A. After designation of Confidential Material is made, the following shall be 12 placed on the front of the original and each copy of a deposition transcript containing 13 Confidential Information: “Confidential Information” or similar designation. 14 deposition was filmed, both the recording storage medium (i.e., CD or DVD) and its 15 container shall be labeled “Confidential Information” or similar designation. 16 6. If the For any other Document or item produced in discovery in this Action not 17 falling within subparagraphs C(3), (4) or (5) above, designation of Confidential 18 Information shall be made by labeling the item or the item’s container with “Confidential 19 Information” or similar designation. If only a portion or portions of the information 20 contained in the item warrant protection as Confidential Information, it shall be 21 accompanied by a cover letter identifying the specific portion or portions so designated. 22 7. If it comes to the Producing Party’s attention that information designated as 23 Confidential Information does not qualify or no longer qualifies for protection, the 24 Producing Party must promptly notify all Parties that it is withdrawing the designation for 25 the applicable information. 26 D. 27 28 Challenging Confidential Designations 1. A Challenging Party shall not be obliged to challenge the propriety of a Confidential Information designation at the time made, and a failure to do so shall not 7 3:19-cv-01490-MMA-AHG 1 preclude a subsequent challenge thereto. 2 2. The Challenging Party shall initiate a challenge to the designation of any 3 Confidential Information under this Protective Order by providing to the Designating Party 4 (a) written notice of each designation it is challenging and (b) a description of the basis of 5 each challenge. 6 3. The Challenging Party and the Designating Party shall attempt to resolve each 7 challenge in good faith and must begin a meet and confer process within a reasonable time 8 after the Designating Party receives notice from the Challenging Party. 9 During the conferring process, the Challenging Party must convey its basis for the 10 challenge and the Designating Party must have an opportunity to review the applicable 11 documents and either keep or change the designation. The Designating Party must 12 communicate its decision(s) to the Receiving Party within fourteen (14) calendar days after 13 receipt of notice of the challenge, or within a reasonable time agreed to by the Parties. 14 15 4. If the Designating Party decides to withdraw its designation, it shall give notice of this change to all parties. 16 5. If the Challenging and Designating Parties cannot come to a resolution within 17 the time set forth in paragraph 3 above, or as otherwise agreed, the Challenging party may 18 file a motion seeking a determination from the Court. 19 6.
