 1. Prior to the release of any such documentation, all personal information 

regarding the deputy, spouse and children, including but not limited to social security 

number, driver's license number, residential address, names of spouse and children shall 

be redacted from the documents to be released to plaintiffs and their counsel. 

 2. Plaintiffs and their counsel shall not disclose the contents of the documents, 

or provide the documents or copies of the documents, or the substance of the documents 

or electronically disseminate the documents or data extracted from the documents, to 

anyone except as specified below. 

 3. The documents produced are to be stamped or otherwise designated as 

"Confidential Material - disclosure subject to protective order" prior to use in this 

litigation.

 4. The documents shall be used solely in connection with this litigation and the 

preparation and trial of this case, or any related appellate proceeding, and not for any 

other purpose including but not limited to any other litigation, and data bank compilation. 

 5. The documents and information contained therein may be disclosed only to 

the following persons: 

(a) counsel for any party, and any party to this action; 

(b) paralegal, stenographic, clerical, secretarial, investigative personnel employed by

 Nothing in this paragraph (5) is intended to prevent officials or employees of the County 

of San Diego or other authorized government officials from having access to these 

documents if they would have had access in the normal course of their duties. Further, 

nothing in this order prevents a witness from disclosing events or activities personal to

them, i.e., a witness can disclose to others previous information given to the County of

information is made, with the exception of counsel who are presumed to know of the

shall provide County Counsel with a copy of the original executed copy of said 

agreement when the disclosure is made, and shall retain the original executed copy of 

said agreement until final termination of this litigation. 

 7. Nothing in this order shall preclude a party from showing or disclosing to 

any person not listed in paragraph 5 of this order deposition transcripts, pleadings or 

briefs containing any part of documents subject to this order if the document containing 

such materials has been masked or deleted so that no disclosure of the confidential 

material occurs. 

 8. At the conclusion of the trial and of any appeal or upon other termination of 

this litigation, all documents and confidential material received under the provisions of 

the order (including any copies made, and any copies provided to any person to who
