IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RONALD J. MCINTOSH,

Plaintiff,

 v.

ERIC H. HOLDER JR.,

Defendant. /

No. 09-cv-00750 CRB

ORDER REGARDING MOTION FOR

ENTRY OF ORDER INVOLVING

ADDITIONAL DISCOVERY

McIntosh has moved for entry of an order directing the federal government to produce

additional discovery related to his case. See Motion for Entry of Order (dkt. 178). Three

prior discovery motions remain pending, although the Court directed the parties to address

the concerns raised in those motions following a hearing on September 11, 2015, and the

parties appear to have resolved many of the disputes raised in those earlier motions. See

Motion to Compel Government Employees to Appear (dkt. 149); Motion to Compel State to

Comply (dkt. 148); Motion to Compel Federal Government to Comply (dkt. 147). 

After reviewing the arguments raised by the parties in their papers, the Court hereby

ORDERS that the United States Marshals Service shall furnish McIntosh with a declaration

describing their search for documents responsive to McIntosh’s subpoena, including a level

of detail similar to that provided by the FBI and ATF in this case. The Court further

ORDERS that the government shall file a document under seal explaining why it should not

be required to produce discovery related to a certain undercover operation in Philadelphia,

given that the Court could protect discovery related to that operation with a protective order

similar to the one it entered regarding the 174 pages of FBI documents in this case. The

Court DENIES McIntosh’s remaining requests, and further DENIES McIntosh’s three prior

discovery orders as moot. See Motion to Compel Government Employees to Appear (dkt.

149); Motion to Compel State to Comply (dkt. 148); Motion to Compel Federal Government

to Comply (dkt. 147). The hearing set for November 13, 2015, is hereby VACATED.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 12, 2015
