STIPULATED PROTECTIVE ORDER 

1. Plaintiffs have sought discovery of certain personnel records related to the 

individual defendants in this action. Defendants will produce certain of those personnel records 

to Plaintiffs’ Counsel pursuant to this Protective Order. 

2. The materials to be produced will be referred to as “CONFIDENTIAL

3. The CONFIDENTIAL PERSONNEL INFORMATION shall not be exhibited, 

played or otherwise disclosed, by Plaintiff’s Counsel to other persons except as specifically 

provided herein. 

4. Plaintiff’s Counsel may exhibit and/or disclose CONFIDENTIAL PERSONNEL 

INFORMATION only to the following categories of person and no other unless authorized by 

order of the Court: 

 a. Plaintiff’s Counsel; 

 b. Experts, investigators or consultants retained by Plaintiff’s Counsel to 

assist in the evaluation, preparation, or trial of this case; however, before any expert, 

investigator, or consultant is permitted to review the CONFIDENTIAL PERSONNEL 

INFORMATION, such individual must agree to comply with the terms of this Protective Order 

by executing the document attached as Exhibit A. Plaintiff’s counsel shall file and serve any 

Agreement to Comply with the terms of the Order upon its execution; however, Plaintiff’s 

counsel shall not be required to file any Agreement to Comply any earlier than the date that 

Expert Disclosures are required to be made. Experts, investigators, and consultants shall not 

have any power to authorize further disclosure of CONFIDENTIAL PERSONNEL 

INFORMATION to any other person. 

5. Counsel for Plaintiff may not provide originals or copies of the CONFIDENTIAL

INFORMATION with plaintiffs without disclosing any identifying details about a specific

6. Nothing contained in this order shall prohibit any person, including any persons 

described in 3(a-b) above, from using or referring to CONFIDENTIAL PERSONNEL 

INFORMATION covered by this Protective Order in motion papers or pleadings filed with the

papers or legal pleadings that reference said CONFIDENTIAL PERSONNEL INFORMATION,

this stipulation shall be sealed in accordance with the Court’s rules and procedures, and shall be 

subject to the provisions of this Protective Order. 

8. At the conclusion of this litigation, by whatever means resolved, all persons shall 

return all copies of the CONFIDENTIAL PERSONNEL INFORMATION covered by this
