This matter is before the Court upon Motion (Document # 10) of the parties requesting
that the Court enter an Order allowing the production of certain records related to the disorderly
conduct charge against Plaintiff on July 26, 2015, currently held by the City of Myrtle Beach
Police Department. It appears that pursuant to § 17-1-40 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, as
amended, an Order was entered expunging the records related to the disorderly conduct charge
against the Plaintiff, and the City of Myrtle Beach Police Department is currently holding certain
records under seal. The parties agree that the records are relevant to and needed for the litigation
of this matter, and, pursuant to § 17-1-40(c)(1), they request an Order of this Court allowing the
disclosure of these records. The parties agree that any social security numbers and dates of birth
be redacted and the identity of the “victim,” who was a minor at the time, not be disclosed. It is,
therefore,
ORDERED that the Defendant shall produce to Plaintiffs all records, including video
recordings, related to those matters for which the Plaintiff was questioned, detained and arrested
on July 26, 2015; provided that any social security number and dates of birth be redacted and the
identity of the victim not be disclosed.
