United States District Court
Northern District of California
Case No.16-cv-00945-BLF (SVK)
ORDER GRANTING IN PART AND
DENYING IN PART PLAINTIFFS’
REQUEST OF MAY 19, 2017
Re: Dkt. No. 136
12
The Court has reviewed the parties’ submissions regarding production of electronically
13
14
stored information (“ESI”) and other documents by defendant County of Monterey (the
15
“County”). Having addressed similar issues between Plaintiffs and both this and another
16
defendant in this case,1 the Court orders the County to complete its production of documents as set
17
forth below. Plaintiffs seek a court-imposed deadline for completion of ESI production. Plaintiffs
18
also seek production of 1) documents related to in-custody deaths at Monterey County Jail of
19
individuals experiencing opiate, alcohol, or benzodiazepine withdrawal and/or detoxification; and
20
2) staffing shift reports for the time period of Pajas’s incarceration. Finally, Plaintiffs request
21
leave to move for sanctions.
In light of the nature and substance of the meet and confer efforts by both parties, the
22
23
pending discovery cutoff of July 28, 2017, and the outstanding depositions, the County is ordered
24
to produce all outstanding ESI identified by the search terms previously agreed upon by the parties
25
no later than by June 16, 2017. If the County’s ESI production is already complete, it is to
26
provide written confirmation of that fact to the Court and to Plaintiffs no later than June 2, 2017.

See ECF 91, 95, 96, 102, 103, 104, 105, 108, 109, 110, 116, 130.
1
The County is further ordered to produce all documents relating to in-custody deaths of
2
individuals experiencing opiate, alcohol, or benzodiazepine withdrawal and/or detoxification
3
during the relevant time period, not just documents relating to in-custody deaths of inmates
4
undergoing any detox treatment program for opiate, alcohol, or benzodiazepine withdrawal and/or
5
detoxification at the time of his or her death. The County must complete this production by
6
June 16, 2017. If the County’s production of documents responsive to this request is already
7
complete, it is to provide written confirmation of that fact to the Court and to Plaintiffs no later
8
than June 2, 2017.
9
Plaintiffs’ request for staffing shift reports is denied because the County has stated that the
documents do not exist, and Plaintiffs do not dispute this position. Plaintiffs’ request for leave to
11
United States District Court
Northern District of California
10
file a motion for sanctions is denied.
12
The Court sets a status call for June 22, 2017, at 10 a.m. to ensure the County has
13
complied with the above deadlines. If the Parties agree that no such call is necessary, they may so
14
inform the Court.

SO ORDERED.
