UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARIA VARGAS, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

COUNTY OF YOLO, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:15-cv-2537 TLN CKD

ORDER

The issue of disclosure of defendant Prieto’s personnel file and the issue of expenses 

incurred in connection with plaintiff’s motion to compel was submitted after further briefing. 

Upon in camera review of the personnel file and upon review of the parties’ submissions 

regarding expenses and proposed protective orders, and good cause appearing therefor, THE 

COURT FINDS AND ORDERS AS FOLLOWS:

1. Disclosure of the documents contained in defendant Prieto’s personnel file is not 

warranted. The motion to compel production of said file is denied. In light of the court’s finding 

that disclosure need not be made, the court declines to issue a protective order at this time.

2. The court finds an award of expenses is warranted considering all of the circumstances 

reflected in the record before it on this motion, but not in the amount claimed by plaintiffs.
