1. The parties did not settle this issue at their April 14, 2005, settlement conference.

Plaintiffs do not agree that this paragraph should be included in this protective order. The parties

have filed a joint submission regarding this issue on July 11, 2005. However, it has been agreed by

the parties to ask this Court to issue the protective order as it now stands as soon as possible so that

the process of field file reviews can move forward. If this Court should rule in favor of Plaintiffs

on this issue, the parties agree that this protective order will be amended by removing paragraph 2a.

¶¶ 14, 16.) On April 14, 2005, the parties reached an agreement on some of the procedures to be

employed when the state provides parolees’ counsel with access to some materials from parolee

A. Sensitive Material

2. In order to comply with the Permanent Injunction, the Due Process Clause of the

Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution, Morrissey v. Brewer, 408 U.S. 481

(1972) and In re Olson, 37 Cal.App.3d 783 (1974), and following the April 14, 2005 settlement

agreement, it is agreed by the parties that the parolees’ attorneys of record may have access to the

following “sensitive material”: 

a. Any mental health record in which a health care provider has determined that

there is a substantial risk of significant adverse or detrimental consequences to a parole/patient in

seeing or receiving a copy and concerning which the health care provider has complied with the

requirements of Health & Safety Code section 123115(b).1/

b. Contact information, including telephone numbers and addresses of any witness

or victim in the offense alleged in the parole revocation proceeding, and telephone numbers of

witnesses or victims that declare themselves to be fearful. 

3. The Defendants shall disclose the sensitive material only to the parolee’s attorney,

CalPAP employees, a certified law student supervised by the attorney of record, paralegals

working for CalPAP or the parolee’s privately retained attorney, law clerks working for CalPAP

or the parolee’s privately retained attorney or legal secretaries for CalPAP or the parolee’s

privately retained attorney.

4. Persons to whom the sensitive material is disclosed shall treat the sensitive

material or information as confidential and are prohibited from disclosing the records or

information to any other person, including the parolee who is subject to the parole revocation

proceedings, except as necessary in the parole revocation or probable cause hearing when the

parolee is not present. With regard to this exception, the information or records shall be used

only as necessary to represent the parolee in the parole revocation or related proceedings and

shall not be used in any other action or for any other purpose.

5. Each person to whom disclosure of the sensitive material is made shall, prior to

the time of disclosure, be provided a copy of this order and shall agree in writing that they have

read this order, understand and agree to be bound by its provisions, and consent to be subject to

the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California with

respect to any proceeding regarding the enforcement of this order, including without limitation,

any proceeding for contempt for violating this order.

6. The parolee’s attorneys of record and their agents shall not make copies of the

sensitive material obtained by them except as necessary for purposes of the parolee’s revocation

proceedings or related proceedings. The attorneys of record will maintain control over all copies,

electronic or otherwise, obtained by them.
