All information described in the preceding paragraph will be subject to an attorneys'-eyes-only protective order, and will not be shared with or disclosed to the Plaintiffs or to any person or entity other than Plaintiffs' attorneys, investigators, experts, or clerical and paralegal staff. Any of Plaintiffs' attorneys' employees, contractors, or agents who are provided with this information will be given a copy of this order and will be bound by its provisions. This protective order is without prejudice to Plaintiffs right to move for its rescission after further discovery.
The time frame for responsive information will be September, 2010 to the date of the CI's death.
If, following a diligent and good-faith search, Defendants are unable to locate any responsive documents, then the person who has undertaken that search will provide a written declaration so indicating, and describing the steps that were taken to locate responsive documents.
