ORDER
On Tuesday, December 30, 2025, Defendants ex parte produced to the Court for
in camera review the Georgia Department of Corrections (GDC) Strip Search Policy both
in full and with proposed redactions. 	The Court approves the attached version (filed
under restricted access) of the policy, which has been modified as the Court deemed
appropriate to balance the security concerns of GDC with Plaintiff’s right to information
through discovery. 	Additionally, the Court finds good cause to GRANT IN PART
Defendant’s request for a protective order. 	Defendants are required to allow Plaintiff
access to the redacted version of the policy upon reasonable request for purposes of
preparing his response to Defendants’ motion for summary judgement. 	Furthermore,
Plaintiff must be able to prepare and retain notes on the policy. Defendants are directed
to submit a new proposed protective order with the above directed modifications within
seven (7) days.
SO ORDERED, this 30th day of January, 2026.
