Case No.: 04-CIV-346 LKK GGH

STIPULATION AND PROTECTIVE

ORDER

_________________________________

1. The parties to the above-entitled action, by and through their counsel of

record, hereby stipulate to the imposition of the attached protective order as to materials

to be produced in discovery in this action regarding names, addresses and telephone

numbers of witnesses disclosed by defendants, confidential police investigation

documents and other materials to which the parties may agree in writing.

The materials included in the above-mentioned protective order are as follows:

a. The names, addresses, telephone numbers and any other personal

identifying information of any civilian witnesses or suspects disclosed by defendants in

discovery;

Case 2:04-cv-00346-LKK -GGH Document 18 Filed 05/04/05 Page 1 of 5
b. Records disclosed by the CITY which comprise the Vacaville Police

Department’s investigative file connected with this matter (crime report 03-223);

c. Other materials that the parties agree in writing are to be covered by this

Order.

All "confidential material" shall be designated by stamping or otherwise marking

each such document as follows:

"CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL SUBJECT TO PROTECTIVE

ORDER"

2. Confidential material shall be used solely in connection with the

preparation and litigation of the case in the within action (Case No. 04-CIV-346 LKK

GGH), or in any related appellate proceeding, and not for any other purpose, including

any other litigation, or any criminal prosecution, without the express approval of this

court.

3. Confidential material may not be disclosed, except as is provided in

paragraph 4, below.

4. Confidential material may be disclosed only to the following persons: (a)

counsel for any party to this litigation; (b) paralegal, stenographic, clerical, and

secretarial personnel regularly employed by counsel for the parties in this litigation; (c)

court personnel, including stenographic reporters engaged in such proceedings as are

necessarily incidental to preparation for trial in this action; (d) any outside expert or

consultant retained by any party to the action in connection with the action, and not

otherwise employed by either party; and, (e) any "in-house" expert designated by any

party to testify at trial in this matter.

Nothing in this paragraph (4) is intended to prevent officials or employees of the

City of Vacaville, or other authorized government officials, from having access to the

documents so designated if they would have such access in the normal course of their job

duties. Furthermore, nothing herein prevents any witness from disclosing events or

Case 2:04-cv-00346-LKK -GGH Document 18 Filed 05/04/05 Page 2 of 5
activities personal to him or her, that is, a witness may disclose to others, without

restriction under this order, information previously given to the City of Vacaville with

respect to what he or she saw, heard, or otherwise sensed.

5. Each person to whom disclosure is made, with the exception of counsel,

who are presumed to know the contents of this protective order, shall be provided by the

person furnishing him or her "confidential material," as designated hereunder, with a

copy of this order, and shall agree on the record, in writing, that he or she has read this

protective order and consents to be subject to the jurisdiction of this court with respect to

the enforcement of this order, including without limitation, any proceeding for contempt.

Unless such agreement is made on the record in this litigation, counsel making the

disclosure to any person described above shall retain the original executed copy of said

written agreement until final termination of this litigation.

6. At the conclusion of the trial in this matter, and of any appeal, or upon the

termination of this action by any other means, all confidential material received under the

provisions of this order, shall be tendered back to the appropriate parties or their

attorneys and any copies thereof shall be destroyed. Provisions of this order, insofar as

they restrict the disclosure and use of the material, shall remain in full force and effect

until further order of this court.

7. The foregoing is without prejudice to the right of any party to this action:

(a) to apply to the court for a further protective order relating to any confidential material

or relating to discovery in this litigation; (b) to apply to the court for an order removing

the confidential material designation from any document; and, (c) to apply to the court

for an order compelling production of documents or for modification of this order or for

any order permitting disclosure of confidential material beyond the terms of this order.

Counsel for the parties to this action hereby declare that they have read the

foregoing, that they approve thereof as to form and content, and that, on behalf of their

clients in this action, they stipulate thereto.
