CITY OF RICHMOND, et al.,

Re: Dkt. No. 72

Defendants.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

Plummer's motion for disclosure of documents relating to independent investigations

14

commissioned by the City of Richmond is denied, except possibly with respect to the investigation

15

of Sue Ann Van Dermyden. Because the City issued a fairly detailed press release about the

16

results of Van Dermyden's investigation, the Court would like further briefing and argument on

17

whether the City waived the applicable privileges with respect to this investigation (at least to the

18

extent that the City should be required to disclose the report and related documents under the

19

terms of a protective order). Plummer should file a supplemental brief no longer than five pages

20

(double-spaced) solely on this question by June 29, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. The defendants should file

21

a supplemental response brief, subject to the same page limit, by July 6, 2015 at 1:00 p.m. A

22

hearing will take place on July 9, 2015 at 10:00 a.m.

At this hearing, the parties should also be prepared to discuss the other discovery motion
(Doc. No. 71) if they have not resolved their dispute by that time.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
