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

City and County of San Francisco, Alan Levy and Robert Toomey ("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 Defendants' police batons and flashlights through Court security for 

the trial in this matter. 

As the Court is aware, plaintiff's claim that he was subjected to an assault and battery 

when he was struck by a police flashlight and police baton is set for trial beginning Monday 

March 19, 2007. It is anticipated that the trial will last less than a week, although the Court has 

advised the parties that the case may trail another case expected to last a little over a week. 

Accordingly, defendants seek an order allowing them to bring Defendants' police batons and 

flashlights through Court security through April 2, 2007. 

Counsel for plaintiff does not object to this request.
