FREDERICK F. MUMM, District Judge.

Based on the stipulation of the parties filed concurrently herewith, and for good cause shown, the Court makes the following orders:

1. Plaintiff's counsel shall maintain the confidentiality of the disclosed portions of Plaintiff's Confidential Inmate Central File ("C-File") produced as an initial disclosure by Defendant for "Attorney's Eyes Only." Specifically, Plaintiff's counsel shall take all reasonable steps to safeguard the disclosed portions of Plaintiff's Confidential C-File, and shall not disclose or disseminate the documents or their content except as provided herein. Plaintiff's counsel will not disseminate or disclose the contents of the Confidential C-File to Plaintiff Anthony Edwards or to third-parties, including experts and trial consultants, without first obtaining the consent of Defendant's counsel or an order from this Court authorizing such disclosure.

2. Plaintiff's counsel shall not use the disclosed portions of Plaintiff's Confidential C-File for any reason other than prosecution of the claims in this case.

3. Plaintiff's counsel shall return the disclosed portions of Plaintiff's Confidential C-File, and any and all copies of documents, to Defendant's counsel within thirty (30) days of the conclusion of the proceedings against Defendant Valenzuela, including any appeal.

4. This Protective Order, and the obligations of all persons hereunder, including those related to disclosure and use of the disclosed portions of Plaintiff's Confidential C-File, shall survive the final termination of this case, whether such termination is by settlement, judgment, dismissal, appeal, or otherwise, until further order of this Court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
