JURY DEMAND

PROTECTIVE ORDER
WILKERSON, Magistrate Judge:
Pursuant to Rule 26(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the parties
demonstrate good cause for a protective order. As such the parties’ Joint Motion for
Protective Order (Doc. 74) is granted as follows.
1.
During the course of this litigation, it may be necessary for the parties or
their attorneys to produce photographs or notes depicting or regarding the St. Clair
County Jail created during an inspection of October 25, 2016, thus creating a cognizable
interest in protecting the privacy and security of the St. Clair County Jail and its detainees
and employees, and therefore:
a) All materials generated during the St. Clair County Jail inspection
shall be used for the sole purpose of preparing for or conducting this
litigation, including, but not limited to investigation, consultation,
discovery, depositions, trial preparation, trial, appeal, resolution,
mediation, or uses incidental to the proceeding in the case and shall
not be disclosed or revealed to anyone not authorized by this
Protective Order.
b) The materials protected by this order may be disclosed without further
notice by any covered party or parties’ attorney to: the parties
themselves, parties’ attorneys, experts, consultants, court reporters, as
well as the professional and support staff of all of the above.

c) The parties agree that the materials generated pursuant to the
inspection of October 25, 2016, and this Protective Order will be kept
confidential by any person to whom they are disclosed.
d) The parties, and each entity, governed by this Order shall either (i)
destroy, or (ii) return to the entity who originally produced it all
protected information, including all copies made, provided, however,
that said protected information may be retained in the files of the
entities listed in paragraph (a), above, and may be destroyed pursuant
to their regular file retention policies so long as the protected records
are maintained in a secure environment.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: November 2, 2016

DONALD G. WILKERSON
United States Magistrate Judge
