Plaintiff,

ORDER AFTER IN CAMERA REVIEW OF
RECORDS OF THE KERN HIGH SCHOOL
DISTRICT/VISTA WEST HIGH SCHOOL

v.
CITY OF BAKERSFIELD, et al.,

15

Defendants.

16
17

At the informal conference re: discovery dispute (Doc. 23), the parties agreed the Court would

18

conduct an in camera review of educational and employment records of the plaintiff. The Court has

19

received and reviewed the records from the Kern High School District, which included records from

20

Stockdale High School, Vista West High School and Tevis Junior High School. Of these records, the

21

Court finds very few are discoverable because they contain no information which may bear on the

22

issues in this case or because discovery of these records is not proportional to the needs of the case

23

(Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(b)(1). As to the records to be disclosed, the Court makes no comment as to their

24

admissibility. Thus, the Court ORDERS:

25

1.

A portion of the document entitled “Vista West High School Student Discipline Profile”

26

SHALL be disclosed. This document is numbered “1 of 13” through “13 of 13.” Of these, only pages

27

“1 of 13” through “9 of 13” SHALL be disclosed to the defendants;

28

2.

The document entitled “Stockdale High School Refrain From Verbal Contact . . .” dated
1

1
2

“2/21/13” related to “Incident # 36501” SHALL be disclosed to the defendants;
3.

The eight documents entitled “Tevis Junior High School Disciplinary Action Form”

3

with incident dates listed as “09/22/2011,” “11/16/2011,” “02/08/2012,” “09/12/2011,” “06/02/2011,”

4

“05/12/2011,” “03/29/2011,” and “01/18/2011” SHALL be disclosed to the defendants;
