UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

PAMELA FOX, ON BEHALF OF 

HERSELF AND AS NEXT FRIEND TO 

C.M.R., A MINOR,

Plaintiffs,

vs.

COUNTY OF TULARE, LETICIA 

CASTANEDA, ERICA SOTO, RON 

CASTANEDA, JULIA LANGLEY, 

CAROL HELDING, JOHN ROZUM, 

STEVEN ROGERS and DOES 1-100,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:11-cv-00520-AWI-SMS

COURT’S REPORT ON IN CAMERA 

REVIEW OF PERSONNEL FILES

On June 20, 2013, Plaintiff filed a motion to compel. Doc. 80. On July 19, 2013, the Court 

ordered in camera review of personnel files of Leticia Castaneda, Erica Soto, Ron Castaneda, Julia 

Langley, Carol Helding, and John Rozum. Doc. 92. These were delivered to chambers yesterday, 

on August 13, 2013.

The Court has reviewed the County personnel files of the above-named six defendants. In 

light of the allegations in the pleadings and the parties’ arguments, none of this material appears 

reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. It also raises valid privacy 

concerns. No discovery is ordered.

therein, these materials should be delivered to chambers on or preferably before Friday, August 23, 

2013. The Court also reiterates its minute order of July 18, 2013, which

disputed document requests.
