STIPULATION 

Previously, Plaintiffs and Defendants agreed to, and the Court entered, a Stipulated 

Protective Order Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(C). (Bryant Docket No. 112; Helm Docket No. 

124). That Protective Order, inter alia, set out a procedure permitting parties to designate certain 

discovery materials “CONFIDENTIAL.” In response to discovery demands in this case, 

Defendants have designated certain documents “CONFIDENTIAL” pursuant to the Protective 

Order, and Plaintiffs have not currently challenged some of those designations. 

Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 79-5 and 7-12, Plaintiffs and Defendants in these matters, 

through their undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate that in responding to Defendants’ pending 

motions to dismiss, Plaintiffs may file under seal pursuant to the Protective Order the following 

documents, each of which has been designated “CONFIDENTIAL” by Defendants: 

1. SCI Cash Balance Plan, bates number SCI(BRY) 00196 - 00271 

2. “SCI 401(K) Retirement Savings Plan” Documents, bates number SCI(BRY) 00015 - 

00195

3. Employee Handbooks, bates number SCI(BRY) 00272 - 00410 

4. Flowcharts, bates number SCI(BRY) 00411 - 00414 

5. Written agreements executed by Curtis Briggs, bates number CBRIGGS 0009 – 0029 

6. Transcript of the deposition of Thomas Ryan taken on April 22, 2009 

7. Plaintiffs’ Opposition to Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss Amended Complaint 

Pursuant to FRCP 12(b)(6) (Lack of In Personam Jurisdiction) or, Alternatively, 

FRCP 12(b)(6) (Failure to State a Claim Upon Which Relief Can be Granted), which 

describes and quotes from materials Defendants have designated as 

“CONFIDENTIAL” 

8. Plaintiffs’ Consolidated Declaration of Sarah Cressman in Opposition to Defendants’ 

Motions to Dismiss, for Partial Judgment on the Pleadings, and to Strike and Require 

a More Definite Statement and Motions for Stay and Award of Attorney Fees and 

Costs Pursuant to FRCP 41(d), which describes and quotes from materials Defendants 

have designated as “CONFIDENTIAL”
