Defendants.

The court previously solicited the parties’ positions on whether the whistleblower

18
19

report of Melanie Gonzalez, M.D., should be filed on the docket of this case. Dr. Gonzalez’s

20

counsel has now informed the court in an e-mail communication sent earlier today to the

21

courtroom deputy as follows: “Dr. Gonzalez agrees that the submission to the Court meets the

22

requirements for a public record and should be available on the docket and, of course, to the

23

investigative team.” The court has considered the positions of all counsel. Good cause

24

appearing, the court has determined that the complaint should be filed in the same manner Dr.

25

Golding’s report was filed in this action. Specifically, the parties will be directed to submit to the

26

court a proposed redacted version of the Gonzalez whistleblower complaint or a statement that no

27

redactions are required.
