STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER
CHIEF
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
1.
PURPOSES AND LIMITATIONS
Discovery
in this action is likely to involve production of
confidential, proprietary, or private information for which
special protection may be warranted. Accordingly, the parties
hereby stipulate to and petition the court to enter the
following Stipulated Protective Order. The parties
acknowledge that this agreement is consistent with LCR 26(c).
It does not confer blanket protection on all disclosures or
responses to discovery, the protection it affords from public
disclosure and use extends only to the limited information or
items that are entitled to confidential treatment under the
applicable legal principles, and it does not presumptively
entitle parties to file confidential information under seal.
2.
“CONFIDENTIAL” MATERIAL
“Confidential”
material shall include the following documents and tangible
things produced or otherwise exchanged: documents and
communications that identify individuals by name and indicate
the individual is unhoused, that include medical information,
that include private personal identifying information (such
as Social Security Number), or that include similar private
information.
3.
SCOPE
The
protections conferred by this agreement cover not only
confidential material (as defined above), but also (1) any
information copied or extracted from confidential material;
(2) all copies, excerpts, summaries, or compilations of
confidential material; and (3) any testimony, conversations,
or presentations by parties or their counsel that might
reveal confidential material. However, the protections
conferred by this agreement do not cover information that is
in the public domain or becomes part of the public domain
through trial or otherwise.
4.

4.2 Disclosure of “CONFIDENTIAL” Information
or Items. Unless otherwise ordered by the court or

action, as well as employees of counsel to whom it is
reasonably necessary to disclose the information for this
