Plaintiff,
-vs-
Case No. 13-CV-397
JOHN PAQUIN, J. ALDANA,
DR. APPLE, MICHAEL HOWARD,
CAPTAIN GEEGEAR, and LT. MIKLE,
Defendants.
DECISION AND ORDER
The defendants have filed motion to file redacted portions of documents
under seal (Dkt. No. 68), in accordance with the stipulation of protective order
(Dkt No. 67). Specifically, the defendants move to seal Aldana Declaration,
¶¶ 10, Exhibit 1022: DAI Policy #306.00.23 Special Placement/Handling of
Inmates, and Exhibit 1028: DAI Policy #306.00.18, Security Threat Group
Management, because these are restricted policies that cannot be disclosed or
distributed for the safety and security of the adult institutions in Wisconsin.
The defendants also move to seal Aldana Declaration ¶¶ 20-24, for the
protection of the identified individuals. Lastly, the defendants seek to seal
Bachhuber Declaration, Exhibits 1029-1033, portions of the depositions of
John Paquin, Christine Apple, Jason Aldana, Olin Mikell, and Adam Gegard.
According to the defendants, portions of these depositions that have been
redacted are testimony regarding the restricted security threat group
management policy
and identifying particular security threat group
association among inmates, which cannot be disclosed for the safety and
security of adult institutions in Wisconsin and the individuals involved. Upon
due consideration, the Court finds that these matters are appropriately kept
under seal.
The defendants have also filed a motion to exceed page limitation in
their summary judgment brief. The Court will grant this motion as well.
NOW, THEREFORE, BASED ON THE FOREGOING, IT IS
HEREBY ORDERED THAT the defendants’ motion to file redacted portions
of documents under seal (ECF No. 68) is GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the defendants’ motion to exceed
page limitation (ECF No. 69) is GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, based on the stipulation and
request of the parties and good cause having been shown, the Stipulated
Protective Order (ECF No. 67) shall govern all discovery and other
proceedings in this action.
Dated at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, this 13th day of November, 2015.
BY THE COURT:
