ORDER AFTER IN CAMERA REVIEW OF
RECORDS FROM BAKERSFIELD MEMORIAL
HOSPITAL
The parties agreed that subpoenaed records related to Halonda Naff would be produced to the
18
Court for an in camera review. All agreed that in the event the Court finds records that should be
19
disclosed, it will issue an order describing the records generally and identifying them by Bates
20
number. It will give Plaintiffs a deadline by which they will indicate whether they continue to object
21
to the production of the records. If they do, the Court will decide whether a further conference would
22
be fruitful or simply authorize defendant to proceed with a motion to compel. In the event the Court
23
finds no records should be disclosed, the Court will issue an order broadly outlining its findings and
24
indicating that the subpoenas should be quashed.
25
The Court has conducted the review of records produced by Bakersfield Memorial Hospital.
26
Bakersfield Memorial Hospital produced no records that were created during a relevant period.
27
Moreover, none of the records produced could have any bearing on the issues raised in this case. Thus,
28
the Court ORDERS:
