JONES AND JEROME SCHIAGER - 074 - MINUTE ORDERIN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO Civil Action No. 18-cv-03204-RBJ-NRN LORI FRANK, Plaintiff, v. CITY OF FORT COLLINS, a municipality; TERENCE F. JONES, former Interim Chief of Police, in his individual capacity and JEROME SCHIAGER, former Deputy Chief of Police, in his individual capacity, Defendants. MINUTE ORDER Entered by Magistrate Judge N. Reid Neureiter It is hereby ORDERED that the Defendant City of Fort Collins’ Opposed Motion to Maintain Level 1 Restriction for Docs ##60-2 Through 60-4 (Dkt. #71), referred to this Court by Judge R. Brooke Jackson (Dkt. #73) is GRANTED finding good cause shown. The Supreme Court has recognized that there are occasions where it is appropriate to protect documents produced in discovery from public dissemination that “could be damaging to reputation and privacy.” Seattle Times Co. v. Rhinehart, 467 U.S. 20, 34–35 (1984) (noting that “pretrial depositions and interrogatories are not public components of a civil trial.”). Fort Collins disclosed the referenced documents in discovery, but was not the party that submitted the documents for consideration by the Court in a discovery dispute. The Court did not consider the documents in making its decision about the discovery dispute after in camera review, see Dkt. #64, and therefore finds it appropriate to restrict public access to the documents.
