Pursuant to Rule 7-11 of the Northern District of California Civil Local Rules, defendants 

City and County of San Francisco, Perry Hollis, Martin Scanlan, Ron Roth and David Smith 

("Defendants") seek an Order from the Court allowing a San Francisco Police Officer or an 

attorney at the San Francisco City Attorney's Office to bring a pair of shears through Court 

security for the trial in this matter. 

As the Court is aware, plaintiff's claim that he was subjected to excessive force after he 

was arrested at San Francisco International Airport when a pair of shears was found in his 

luggage is set for trial beginning Monday March 6, 2006. It is anticipated that the trial will last 

just a little over two weeks, or until sometime during the week of March 20, 2006. 

Counsel for plaintiff does not object to this request.
