and copying of “[t]he approximately 18 boxes of documents, audio recordings and other things

stamped numbers 00001 through 36714, inclusive, and presently are in the custody of the 

Department of Justice, Bureau of Investigation located at 1735 E Street, Fresno, California, and 

WHEREAS the CAG, by and through the undersigned Deputy Attorney General, will

2. The parties agree that each party hereto shall thereafter make its own arrangements for 

copying of the Responsive Materials, such arrangements to include coordination of 

such copying effort with the CAG and the Bureau of Investigation, to bear its own cost 

of reproduction and to select the copy service employed. 

3. The parties agree that CAG shall withhold from production and copying of Responsive 

Materials the medical or psychological treatment records of third parties found therein 

and shall provide in writing to the parties to this action only the names of those third
