portions thereof, governing impoundment of vehicle and inventory searches, no later
than 9/12/2011. The United States Attorney shall be responsible for producing one
of those copies to defense counsel.
2.

Without a prior written order of this court, the parties may not (a)

copy any of the Anchorage Police Department's policy(ies)and procedure(s), or
portions thereof, or (b) re-disclose any of the Anchorage Police Department's
policy(ies) and procedure(s), or portions thereof, to any person.
3.

The parties may not publish the Anchorage Police Department's

policy(ies) and procedure(s), or portions thereof, with their motions or pleadings in
the ECF (electronic filing) system or in the public file without a prior written order of
this court; the Municipal Attorney's Office shall be notified by the parties of any
request for any such order. Nothing in this Stipulated Protective Order limits the

Department's policy(ies) and procedure(s), or portions thereof, at trial or other open
court proceedings without a prior written order of this court.
