Prior to the trial of this matter, the parties and Court agreed that redaction of personally 

identifying information from trial exhibits would be undertaken after the conclusion of the trial, 

once it had been determined which of those exhibits would actually be admitted into evidence. 

Pursuant to the Court’s order of September 28, 2015 (Doc. No. 276), the parties have meet and 

conferred, and propose the following process to effect the redaction of the admitted exhibits: 

1. By December 4, 2015, the parties shall provide the Court with versions of all 

admitted exhibits redacted of personal (as opposed to business) names, addresses, telephone 

numbers, email addresses, birth dates, drivers’ license numbers, and passport numbers. 

Additionally, all Social Security numbers and financial account numbers on the admitted exhibits 

will be redacted to show only their last four digits, consistent with Fed.R.Civ.P. 5.2(a)(1). 

Plaintiff will provide redacted versions of Trial Exhibits 1, 2, 4, 8, 9, 10, 11, 68, 126, 127, 129, 

149, 225, 230, 234, 234A, 307, 310, 324, 371D, and 371F. CDCR will provide redacted versions 

of Trial Exhibits 174-221, 223-224, 371 and 380. 

2. The Court shall substitute the redacted versions for the original exhibits, and seal 

the originals. 

3. In the interests of creating a clear record for purposes of appeal, and consistent 

with its finding that the invalid SSN once used by the Plaintiff was not issued to anyone by the 

Social Security Administration until 2004 (Doc. No. 263, 4:12), the Court shall enter an order 

deeming that the five (or three) digits denoted by “xxx-xx,” “x-xxxx”, or “xxx” at Welch at RT

307:24, 313:24, 314:14, 322:14-22, 323:1, and 336:4 are the same as the first five (or first three)

digits of “xxx-xx-6544” where those appear in the admitted trial exhibits.

 As the Court will recall, Plaintiff offered the testimony of private investigator Kendall 

Welch to demonstrate that the invalid SSN (xxx-xx-6544) that the Plaintiff had used before he 

obtained his own SSN (Welch at RT 306:21) had not been issued by the Social Security 

Administration (“SSA”) until March 2004 at the earliest. Welch at RT 305-12. As part of her 

testimony, Ms. Welch referred to a printout from the SSA’s website, admitted into evidence as 

Trial Exhibit 24E, that listed the first five digits of the SSNs that had not been issued by the SSA 

until March 2004. One of the five-digit sequences listed on the website matched the first five 

digits of the invalid SSN that Plaintiff had previously used. Welch at RT 313:16-314:20. Since 

all SSNs appearing in admitted exhibits (including the invalid SSN) will be redacted of their first 

five digits, the proposed clarifying order of the Court is needed to indicate that the first five
