1. California Code of Civil Procedure § 129 limits the copying and dissemination of photos that 

depict any portion of a deceased person’s body taken at a crime scene and during an autopsy 

without prior court authorization, obtained after providing five day’s notice to the San 

Francisco District Attorney’s Office. 

2. The San Francisco City Attorney’s office provided written notice to the District Attorney’s

Office on January 7, 2016 that the parties to this civil case intended to seek a court order 

authorizing and requiring production by the San Francisco Office of the Chief Medical 

Examiner of the photos of the deceased in this matter, Amilcar Perez-Lopez. 

3. Good cause exists for the Court to issue an order authorizing and requiring the production of 

such photos by the San Francisco Office of the Chief Medical Examiner to the parties in this 

civil action, in that such photos provide information about the scene and the deceased that is 

expected to be relevant to the matters alleged in the pleadings. 

4. The parties therefore jointly request that the Court order that such photos be released by the 

San Francisco Office of the Chief Medical Examiner to the parties to this civil action, marked 

as confidential and subject to the provisions of the protective order previously issued by this 

Court in this matter.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
