ARKANSAS PAROLE BOARD, et al.,

DEFENDANTS

PROTECTIVE ORDER
It appears to this Court that the plaintiff has requested
information and documents in discovery from defendants, the release of
which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of privacy of persons
not parties to the present lawsuit. Specifically, the plaintiff has
requested:
a. Information and documents submitted by applicants for
the positions of Administrative Assistant III (Revocation) and
Administrative Assistant III (Parole Services);
b. Information and documents regarding Board employees
who have been approved for leave under the Family and Medical Leave
Act for the past five years; and
c. Information and documents regarding Board employees
who have been disciplined for insubordination for the past five years.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that any confidential information
gained, as well as any documents photocopied or recorded and any
information gained from them, may be used only in connection with
preparing and presenting the plaintiff's case to this Court.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that any documents obtained by the
plaintiff shall remain in the custody of the plaintiff. Neither the
plaintiff nor anyone acting for or on the plaintiff's behalf shall in any
manner, directly or indirectly, transfer or communicate any of the
information or data obtained to any person not a party to this litigation
other than for proper purposes directly related to the trial of this action,
and that any such person to whom such communication is made is
bound by the terms of this Order.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that at the conclusion of this
litigation, neither the plaintiff nor anyone acting for or on the plaintiff's
behalf shall in any manner, directly or indirectly, retain copies of these
documents, and the plaintiff shall either securely destroy or return the
documents to defendants’ counsel.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 14th day of March, 2012.
