The parties agree that at the time of trial Defendants may seek orders from the Court to prevent CONFIDENTIAL, ATTORNEYS' EYES ONLY Materials disclosed during discovery from being made public during a jury trial.

4. Each person to whom disclosure of documents designated "Confidential-Attorney's Eyes Only" is made, with the exception of counsel who are presumed to know of the contents of this protective order, shall, prior to disclosure: (1) be provided with a copy of this order by the person furnishing him/her such material, and (2) agree on the record or in writing that she/he has read the protective order and that she/he understand the provisions of the protective order.

Defendants City of Vallejo, D. Joseph, S. Kenney and J. Kreins shall be entitled to retain possession of the original writings described above.

Further, nothing in this order prevents a witness from disclosing event or activities personal to them, i.e., a witness can disclose to others previous information given to the City of Vallejo with respect to what she/he saw, heard, or otherwise sensed.

This document is subject to a protective order issued by the Court and may not be copied or examined except in compliance with that order." Documents so labeled shall be kept by the Clerk under seal and shall be made available only to the Court or counsel. Upon failure of the party to so file a document under seal, the producing party may request that the Court place the filing under seal.

7. The foregoing is without prejudice to the right of any party (a) to apply to the Court for a further protective order relating to designation of any other documents as "Confidential Material" and/or "Confidential-Attorney's Eyes Only"; (b) to apply to the Court for an order removing the "Confidential Material" and/or "Confidential-Attorney's Eyes Only" designation from any document; and (c) to apply to the Court for an order compelling production of documents or modification of this order or for any order permitting disclosure of and material designated "Confidential Material" and/or "Confidential-Attorney's Eyes Only" beyond the terms of this order.
