Jordan Sherwood v. Charter Communications, LLC

Summary

This document is a stipulated protective order governing the designation, disclosure, use, challenge, filing, and final disposition of confidential discovery materials in Jordan Sherwood v. Charter Communications, LLC. It was stipulated to by counsel and entered by the United States District Court for the Central District of California on August 29, 2025.

Holdings

1. The court entered the parties' stipulated protective order upon a finding that the anticipated confidential, proprietary, private, and potentially privileged discovery material warranted protection from public disclosure and use outside the litigation.
2. Designation of material as confidential under the protective order does not authorize filing that material under seal; a party seeking to file protected material under seal must comply with Central District of California Local Rule 79-5 and obtain a court order authorizing sealing of the specific material.

Questions Presented

1. Whether good cause existed to enter a stipulated protective order governing confidential discovery material.
2. What procedures should govern designation, disclosure, challenge, use, sealing, and final disposition of protected discovery material.
