(REVISED) STIPULATION AND AGREED ORDER DIRECTING DEFENDANT KING COUNTY TO RELEASE CERTAIN NONCONVICTION DATA
John H. Chun United States District Judge
COME NOW Plaintiff and Defendant King County, by and through their respective counsel, who jointly stipulate and agree as follows:
1. Plaintiff has served discovery requests (Interrogatory No. 25 and Request for Production No. 38) on Defendant King County seeking nonconviction data of certain identified individuals which is maintained by the King County Department of Adult and Juvenile Detention (“DAJD”). The requested information includes:
a. The individuals' race, as reflected in the DAJD's classification system; and
b. The length of incarceration in the DAJD facility(ies) on the cause number identified for each individual.
2. Defendant King County objects to the discovery requests to the extent RCW 10.97.050(4) and RCW 70.48.100(2) prohibits the distribution of nonconviction data and records of a person held in confinement by a Washington criminal justice agency, such as the DAJD, without a court order authorizing and directing the information be made available for a particular purpose.
3. Defendant King County furthermore requests that any information provided in response to the subject discovery requests be protected by the Second Amended Stipulated Protective Order (Dkt. # 113).
4. Based upon the stipulation set forth above, the Parties stipulate to the filing of the proposed Agreed Order below.
IT IS SO STIPULATED this 25th day of July, 2024
AGREED ORDER
Pursuant to the Stipulation above and RCW 10.97.050(4) and 70.48.100(2), the Court hereby authorizes and directs Defendant King County's DAJD to make the race and length of incarceration data for the individuals identified in Plaintiff's Interrogatory No. 25 and Request for Production No. 38 available to Plaintiff for use in this litigation. The Court furthermore orders that any information made available to Plaintiff pursuant to this Agreed Order shall constitute “Confidential Information” and be subject to the Second Amended Protective Order herein.
