ORDER REGARDING DOCUMENTS,

2. The identity of persons other than Richard Lebon, which is contained in police 

reports of incidents in which Richard Lebon was involved;

of Justice Court facility, and to make measurements, take photographs and videotape (or 

equivalent) recordings under the following terms and conditions: 

 A. The inspection of the Hayward Hall of Justice Court facility shall take place after 

hours when the inmates have left the facility and the Alameda County Sheriff’s Office has 

determined it is safe to conduct the site inspection, and shall include: 

 i. The holding area adjacent to Department 513, and the route described by 

Deputy Silcocks that he took Mr. Lebon from Department 513 to the holding cell in which 

Mr. Lebon attempted to hang himself; 

 ii. The route described by Deputy Silcocks in his deposition that he took to go 

from the monitor area to the holding cell where Mr. Lebon was held; 

 iii. The monitor area, including a demonstration of what can be seen in the 

monitor area through the cameras in the holding cell where Mr. Lebon was held; and 

 iv. The auxiliary cell and its distance and physical relationship to nearby areas 

which can be staffed. 

 B. Defendants shall produce, prior to the inspection, such architectural drawings as 

they have available which show the distances and locked doors on the routes described in 

sections A(i) and A(ii) above. The drawings to be produced will be limited to show the 

distances involved with as little unnecessary detail as possible. The drawings shall not depict 

the technical details of any security system. Counsel for plaintiffs shall inspect the drawings 

and request copies only of such drawings as they intend to introduce into evidence or as they 

intend to use to prepare exhibits for trial. The purpose of this prior production is assist 

plaintiffs’ request for facility dimensions and to reduce the amount of measurement and 

photography of the secure areas of the Hall of Justice, which needs to be done by plaintiffs. 

 C. Defendants shall produce, prior to the inspection, all photographs taken of the 

scene and of Mr. Lebon on the day of the incident. The purpose of this prior production is to 

limit the amount of measurement and photography, which needs to be done by plaintiffs. 

 2. Counsel for plaintiffs and their experts shall be permitted to inspect, photograph and 

measure a typical, unoccupied, safety cell at the Santa Rita Jail, and a modesty garment of the

type use for suicidal inmates while confined in the safety cell. Prior to the inspection, 

defendants shall produce such drawings and illustrations as they may have showing the design 

and features of the safety cell. Plaintiffs' counsel shall only request copies of such drawings and 

illustrations as they may reasonably intend to introduce at trial, or as they need to prepare 

exhibits for use at trial. The purpose of this prior production is to reduce the amount of 

measurement and photography, which needs to be done by plaintiffs. 

 3. Counsel for defendants shall be permitted to inspect all photographs, drawings and 

measurements made during the inspections before plaintiffs offer this information in a proposed 

exhibit. If any drawings, photographs or measurements are of areas or things beyond the scope 

of this order, they shall be destroyed. If counsel is not able to agree upon whether or not 

photographs, drawings or measurements are within the scope of this order, then on application, 

the Court will make that determination. 

 4. Defendants shall produce non-redacted reports for each of the police reports that they 

have previously produced. Further, defendants shall produce non-redacted reports relating to 

suicide attempts and completed suicides in Alameda County jail facilities, which have occurred 

on or after January 1, 1998. 

5. All writings produced pursuant to this stipulation (as defined by Federal Rules of 

Evidence, Rule 1001), materials, and information produced and designated “confidential” by the 

Defendant (hereinafter referred to as “such writings, materials, or information”) shall be 

securely maintained and kept confidential in accordance with the terms of this stipulation and 

protective order. Documents designated confidential shall be marked “confidential.” The 

Parties and their counsel will act in good faith in designating the writings as “confidential” so as 

to comply with the requirements of Northern District Local Rule 79-5. If any party, through 

their counsel, contend that any of the writings designated as “confidential” by an opposing party 

is not confidential, security sensitive or privileged, then that party and/or counsel must make a 

proper and timely objection to opposing counsel, meet and confer in an effort to resolve the 

disagreement, and if the disagreement is not resolved after meeting and conferring, bring the 

issue before the court for resolution.

6. Information sought to be protected and designated as “confidential” will be subject to 

protection under FRCP Rule 26(c), counsel seeking this protection shall not designate any 

discovery material “confidential” without first making a good faith determination that protection

the burden of proof to show that such protection is warranted. 

 8. Counsel for the parties may as appropriate in this action show any such “confidential”

 A. Filing of Confidential Materials Under Seal

 Pursuant to Northern District of Ca Local Rule 79-5 the following procedure will be 

used when filing confidential documents under seal: 

 79-5 (b) Request to File Entire Document Under Seal. Counsel seeking to file an 

entire document under seal must: 

 (1) File and serve an Administrative Motion to File Under Seal, in conformance 

with Civil L.R. 7-11, accompanied by a declaration establishing that the entire document is 

sealable; 

 (2) Lodge with the Clerk and serve a proposed order sealing the document; 

 (3) Lodge with the Clerk and serve the entire document, contained in an 8 1⁄2- 

inch by 11-inch sealed envelope or other suitable sealed container, with a cover sheet affixed to 

the envelope or container, setting out the information required by Civil L.R. 3-4(a) and (b) and 

prominently displaying the notation: “DOCUMENT SUBMITTED UNDER SEAL”; 

 (4) Lodge with the Clerk for delivery to the Judge’s chambers a second copy of 

the entire document, in an identical labeled envelope or container. 

 In addition to the instructions under Local Rule 79-5(b) all materials sought to be 

filed under seal will have instructions that the document is filed pursuant to the Stipulated 

Protective Order and that the envelope is not to be opened absent further order of the court. The 

envelope will be labeled to identify the title of the case, case number, and title of the document. 

 79-5 (c) Request to File a Portion of a Document Under Seal. If only a portion of a 

document is sealable, counsel seeking to file that portion of the document under seal must: 

 (1) File and serve an Administrative Motion to File Under Seal, in conformance 

with Civil L.R. 7-11, accompanied by a declaration establishing that a portion of the document 

is sealable; 

 (2) Lodge with the Clerk and serve a proposed order that is narrowly tailored to 

seal only the portion of the document which is claimed to be sealable; 

 (3) Lodge with the Clerk and serve the entire document, contained in an 8 1⁄2- 

inch by 11-inch sealed envelope or other suitable sealed container, with a cover sheet affixed to

the envelope or container, setting out the information required by Civil L.R. 3-4(a) and (b) and 

prominently displaying the notation: “DOCUMENT SUBMITTED UNDER SEAL.” The 

sealable portions of the document must be identified by notations or highlighting within the text; 

 (4) Lodge with the Clerk for delivery to the Judge’s chambers a second copy of 

the entire document, in an identical labeled envelope or container, with the sealable portions 

identified; 

 (5) Lodge with the Clerk and serve a redacted version of the document that can 

be filed in the public record if the Court grants the sealing order. 

 79-5 (d) Filing a Document Designated Confidential by Another Party. If a party 

wishes to file a document that has been designated confidential by another party pursuant to a 

protective order, or if a party wishes to refer in a memorandum or other filing to information so 

designated by another party, the submitting party must file and serve an Administrative Motion 

for a sealing order and lodge the document, memorandum or other filing in accordance with this 

rule. If only a portion of the document, memorandum or other filing is sealable, the submitting 

party must also lodge with the Court a redacted version of the document, memorandum or other 

filing to be placed in the public record if the Court approves the requested sealing order. Within 

five days thereafter, the designating party must file with the Court and serve a declaration 

establishing that the designated information is sealable, and must lodge and serve a narrowly 

tailored proposed sealing order, or must withdraw the designation of confidentiality. If the 

designating party does not file its responsive declaration as required by this subsection, the 

document or proposed filing will be made part of the public record. 

 79-5 (e) Request Denied. If a request to file under seal is denied in part or in full, 

neither the lodged document nor any proposed redacted version will be filed. The Clerk will 

notify the submitting party, hold the lodged document for three days for the submitting party to 

retrieve it, and thereafter, if it is not retrieved, dispose of it. If the request is denied in full, the 

submitting party may retain the document and not make it part of the record in the case, or, 

within 3 days, re-submit the document for filing in the public record. If the request is denied in 

part and granted in part, the party may resubmit the document in a manner that conforms to the

Court’s order and this rule. 

 79-5 (f) Effect of Seal. Unless otherwise ordered by the Court, any document filed 

under seal shall be kept from public inspection, including inspection by attorneys and parties to 

the action, during the pendency of the case. Any document filed under seal in a civil case shall 

be open to public inspection without further action by the Court 10 years from the date the case 

is closed. However, a party that submitted documents that the Court placed under seal in a case 

may, upon showing good cause at the conclusion of the case, seek an order that would continue 

the seal until a specific date beyond the 10 years provided by this rule. Nothing in this rule is 

intended to affect the normal records destruction policy of the United States Courts. The 

chambers copy of sealed documents will be disposed of in accordance with the assigned Judge’s 

discretion. Ordinarily these copies will be recycled, not shredded, unless special arrangements 

are made. 

 11. The parties through their counsel, experts and consultants may only use the writings 

covered by this order and information contained in them solely in connection with this action, 

Case No. C05-03140 MJJ. 

 12. Upon completion of the trial and any appeals in this case, or upon conclusion of any 

settlement, counsel for the parties who have obtained any writings, materials or information 

under this order shall collect them from all recipients and return them and all copies, lists, prints, 

negatives or summaries to counsel for the Party that produced the confidential material. 

 13. None of the parties to this action, their counsel nor any of the other persons or 

entities who have agreed to be bound by the terms of the stipulation and protective order shall 

hereafter, unilaterally change, limit, vacate or otherwise modify or terminate the effect of this 

stipulation and protective order. Any modification to the protective order requires further 

stipulation of the Parties and court order, or by motion to the court for good cause. 

 14. The improper disclosure of any confidential writings, materials, or information 

obtained under this stipulation and protective order, or any other violation of this protective 

order by any person or entity, shall render the offending person or entity subject to such sanction 

as the court deems appropriate.
