28 Defendants. 1 A. PURPOSE AND LIMITATION 2 Defendants believe that the disclosure and discovery activity concerning the materials described 3 in Section C is likely to involve production of confidential or private information for which protection 4 from public disclosure and from use for any purpose other than prosecuting this litigation would be 5 warranted. Plaintiffs have not yet been permitted to view the materials described in Section C. The 6 parties acknowledge that this protective order does not confer blanket protections on all disclosures or 7 discovery activity, and that the protection it affords extends only to the limited information or items that 8 are entitled to such protection under Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(c). The parties further acknowledge that this 9 protective order does not entitle any party to file information designated as protected or confidential 10 under seal, where E.D. Cal.

R. 22 Civ. P. 26(c). Confidential Documents, material, and/or information shall be used solely for purposes of 23 litigation. Confidential Information shall not be used by the non-Designating Party for any business or 24 other purpose, unless agreed to in writing by all Parties to this action or as authorized by further order of 25 the Court. 26 4. “Plaintiffs” shall mean the ESTATE OF XANDER MANN, AMY PICKERING, and 27 JUSTIN MANN. 28 5. “Defendants” shall mean the COUNTY OF STANISLAUS, STANISLAUS COUNTY 1 SHERIFF’S DEPARTMENT, JEFF DIRKSE, GERARDO ZAZUETA, and any other Defendants that 2 may subsequently be added to this action (for example, “DOE 1 to 20”). 3 6. “Parties” shall mean Plaintiffs and Defendants, identified above. 4 C.
