Proposed Protective Order

For purposes of the habeas corpus litigation in this matter, including the scheduled 

evidentiary hearing, all privileged communications or materials obtained by the Office of the 

California Attorney General from the file of petitioner’s trial counsel shall be deemed 

confidential. Until such time as this court may order otherwise, these communications or 

materials may be used only by representatives of the Office of the California Attorney General 

and only for purposes of preparation and conduct of the May 2-3, 2016 evidentiary hearing. 

Disclosure of the contents of the communications or materials themselves may not be made to 

any other persons or agencies, including any other law enforcement or prosecutorial personnel or 

agencies, without an order from this court. The communications and materials may not be used, 

cited, or relied upon by the Office of the California Attorney General in any habeas corpus or 

other related proceedings in federal court, or in any future proceedings against petitioner, 

including any possible retrial. This order shall continue in effect after the conclusion of the 

habeas corpus proceedings and specifically shall apply in the event of a retrial of all or any 

portion of petitioner's criminal case, except that either party maintains the right to request 

modification or vacation of this order upon entry of final judgment in this matter.
