FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

WILLY CARL LYONS, 

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-01-0412 LKK KJM P

vs.

D. BAUGHMAN, 

Defendant. ORDER

 /

On December 8, 2006, counsel for defendant filed documents in paper format for

this court’s in camera review and determination whether any of the documents should be released

in their unredacted form to plaintiff’s counsel. These documents are part of the confidential

section of plaintiff’s central file and contain sensitive information.

The court has reviewed the documents and has found that release of two of the

unredacted documents to plaintiff’s counsel is appropriate; these documents are a memorandum

dated February 5, 2003 by Richard Mandeville and an undated eight page statement handwritten

by plaintiff.

Defendant’s counsel has asked to delay the release of any documents for a period

of thirty days so that CDCR may notify all the inmates named in these two documents, as

required by California Civil Code § 1798.24. Counsel also has asked that the court review any

notify the inmates named in these documents of the proposed release of their identities and to

inform those inmates of their right to object to the release by writing to counsel for the defendant

within thirty days after the notice is sent. 

4. In order to protect the privacy of these individuals, counsel for the defendants

is directed to collect any objections from the inmates and provide them under seal to this court

for review, within forty-five days of the mailing of the notice to inmates directed in #3 above.
