CIVIL NO. 3:12CV130

CONSENT PRIVACY ACT ORDER
Plaintiff has requested production of records held by the United States Postal Service.
Counsel for Defendant has objected to the production of certain documents based on further
concerns that the production is prohibited by the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. § 552a.
Defendant has filed a Motion for a Privacy Act Order which is consented to by the
parties. It appears that the disclosure requested is in the interest of justice and subject to
Protective Order entered simultaneously herewith.
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that
1.

To the extent that Defendant objects to the production of documents on the

ground that such production is prohibited by the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. § 552a, the
objection is overruled and Defendant shall produce the requested documents and other
information and material. The Court is authorized to enter the Order pursuant to 5 U.S.C. §
551a(b)(11).
2.

This Order is without prejudice to any other objections that the Defendant may

have to the discovery requests.

3.

Nothing in this order shall be construed to limit the redaction of documents to be

produced when counsel for Defendant deems such redaction necessary for Privacy Act material
unrelated to this lawsuit.
