Case No. 15-cv-02740 JST

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER RE 

PRODUCTION OF THIRD-PARTY 

INFORMATION

The Honorable Jon S. Tigar

WHEREAS, this is an Age Discrimination in Employment Action challenging the closure of six 

Federal Air Marshal Service (“FAMS”) offices;

WHEREAS, plaintiffs allege that the office closures were discriminatory and bring both direct 

discrimination and disparate impact theories;

WHEREAS, plaintiffs seek certain information not only about the Federal Air Marshals at the 

impacted offices, but also the Federal Air Marshals at the non-impacted offices, such as dates of birth and 

duty location. Plaintiffs assert that such information is relevant to their disparate impact analysis, among

other things;

WHEREAS, Defendant does not dispute that this information may be relevant to the disparate 

impact analysis, but notes that it is also personally-identifying information about third parties (i.e., Federal 

Air Marshals who are not before the Court). Such information is generally protected under the Privacy 

Act, 5 U.S.C. § 522a, among other things.

WHEREAS, the Privacy Act contains an exception permitting disclosure of protected 

information “pursuant to the order of a court of competent jurisdiction.” 5 U.S.C. § 522a(b)(11).

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED, by the parties to the above-captioned action, by and through their 

respective counsel of record, that, to the extent the Court agrees that certain demographic information about 

non-party Federal Air Marshals, such as dates of birth and duty station, is relevant to the claims herein, it 

should be produced to plaintiffs pursuant to the protective orders in place.
