No. C 04-5139 MJJ (JL)

ORDER RE DOCUMENT SUBMITTED

FOR IN CAMERA REVIEW

Order

All discovery in this case has been referred by the district court (Hon. Martin J.

Jenkins) as provided by 28 U.S.C. §636(b) and Civil Local Rule 72. Plaintiff’s motion to

compel production of documents and Defendants’ motion to quash subpoenas came on for

hearing before this Court. Both motions were granted in part and denied in part. In addition,

Defendants were ordered to produce to the Court, for in camera review, “complaints of

misconduct and disciplinary actions that affect issues in the case or go to the credibility of

witnesses.” (Minute Order of November 22, 2006)

Defendants submitted a two-page declaration under oath by Lieutenant Doug Endy,

Administrative Lieutenant for the Marin County Sheriff’s Department. Unfortunately, this

document was misdirected and not received by this Court until a copy was sent by facsimile

at the request of court staff on December 21.

Lieutenant Endy states that he reviewed all personnel files of the named defendants.

He declares under oath that Deputy Hinchee has no citizen complaints in his personnel file,

and that Deputy Lethin has no citizen complaints relating to excessive force or dishonesty

in his personnel file.

Accordingly, this Court finds that there are no documents responsive to Plaintiff’s

subpoena and that no further order by this Court is necessary at this time.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: December 21, 2006
