STIPULATION AND ORDER MODIFYING PROTECTIVE ORDERS 

On January 7, 2020, the Court ordered the parties to present a proposed stipulation 

and protective order to facilitate information sharing between the Coleman and Plata1

classes. ECF No. 6441 at 3. 

The parties understand counsel in Plata are filing a stipulation and proposed order 

to modify the protective order in that matter to permit confidential material received in 

Plata to be shared with and used in connection with Coleman. 

The Protective Orders filed in this action on September 12, 1991, ECF No. 90; 

July 29, 1992, ECF No. 291; and January 12, 2007, ECF No. 2109, are hereby expanded as 

follows: 

The definition of “confidential material” is hereby expanded to include California 

Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (“CDCR”) records that are designated by 

defendants as threatening prison safety or security if disclosed without protective 

conditions (“security information”), and which are produced by defendants in informal or 

formal discovery in this action. 

Confidential material may be disclosed to individuals—as described in Paragraph 

3(a)-3(e) of the Coleman January 12, 2007 order, ECF No. 2109—in Plata who agree to be 

bound by the terms of the Coleman protective orders; and all such confidential material 

can be used in connection with Plata.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
