regarded as confidential and subject to the Protective Order. Such material is hereinafter

referred to as “protected material.”

2. The protected material may be disclosed only to the following persons:

a. Counsel of record in the action:

b. Paralegal, clerical and other personnel regularly employed by counsel

of record;

c. Court personnel and stenographic reporters engaged in such

proceedings in this action;

d. Any outside expert or consultant retained by either party or the Court

for purposes of this action;

e. The protected material may be disclosed to witnesses during a

deposition taken in this matter provided that the witnesses may not

leave any deposition with any copies of any of the protected material,

and shall be informed of and agree to be bound by the terms of the

Order.

3. Each person described in paragraph 2(d) and (e), above, to whom disclosure of

protected material is made shall, prior to the time of disclosure, be provided by the person

furnishing such protected material a copy of this Order, and shall agree on the record or in

writing that they have read the Order, understand it, and agree to be bound by its

provisions. Such persons must also consent to be subject to the jurisdiction of the United

States District Court for the Northern District of California with respect to any proceeding

relating to the enforcement of the Order, including, without limitation, any proceeding for

contempt. Unless such agreement is made on the record, as in court or during a deposition,

the person making the disclosure shall retain the original executed agreement until this

litigation is terminated or until otherwise ordered by the Court. A copy of such agreement

shall be furnished to defendants' counsel upon order of the Court.

4. At the conclusion of this action, all protected material, including all copies, will

be destroyed or returned to the defendants as directed by defendants’ counsel.

5. All protected material shall be used solely in connection with the abovecaptioned action and not for any other purpose, including other litigation, without

agreement between the parties and order of the Court, except that personal information may

be used without limitation with the written consent of the inmate or parolee concerned.

6. Any party filing with the Court documents that identify any prisoner or parolee

shall file and serve an Administrative Motion to File Under Seal pursuant to Northern

District of California, Local Rules 7-11 and 79-5. The Administrative Motion should set

forth the portion or portions of the documents that are confidential and, therefore, sealable. 

7. Plaintiffs’ counsel, and their staff, experts and consultants shall not make copies

of protected material except as necessary for purpose of this action. Plaintiffs’ counsel shall

maintain a record of all persons to whom they have afforded access to protected material. 

Defendants may inspect the record upon order of the court. All protected material shall be

stored in a secure location.

8. No person who has been afforded access to protected material shall disclose or

discuss the material, including without limitation the identification, location or health status

of an inmate, with any person except in connection with their work on the above-captioned

action, except that personal information may be disclosed with the written consent of the

inmate or parolee concerned.

9. Nothing in this Order is intended to prevent officials or employees of the State

of California or other authorized government officials from having access to personal

information to which they have access in the normal course of their official duties.

10. The provisions of this Order are without prejudice to the right of any party to

(1) apply to the Court for a further protective order relating to any protected material or

discovery in this action; (2) to apply to the Court for an order removing the protected

material designation from any document; or (3) to apply to the Court for an order

compelling modifications of the Order or for any order permitting disclosure of protected

material beyond the terms of the Order.
