ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE

[Re Docket No. 1]

Petitioner Mark Hawke seeks an order requiring the United States Department of Homeland

Security, Immigration and Citizenship Services, to produce records pertaining to the application of

his wife Lucia Herrera Hawke (aka Lucia Herrera Marquez) to obtain permanent resident status

under the Violence Against Women Act (file # A97879961). Petitioner is a defendant in a state

criminal complaint in which it is alleged that he committed spousal abuse on September 25, 2006. 

The District Attorney has given notice that it may offer acts of domestic violence other than the

alleged September 25, 2006 act, and defendant believes that the records sought may contain

information pertinent to his defense. Petitioner seeks to have the records produced for in camera

review by the Honorable Raymond Davilla of the Superior Court of Santa Clara, the judge presiding

over the criminal complaint, so that he can make a determination whether petitioner is entitled to

inspect such records under California Penal Code § 1326. Petitioner has been unable to get his wife

to consent to production of the records, and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has

advised that a federal court order is required for production of the type of records sought.

Good cause appearing, the court issues an Order to Show Cause to the Director of Homeland

Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, to show cause before this court on August 10,

2007 at 9:00 a.m. in courtroom 6 as to why the documents described in Exhibit A attached hereto

should not be produced to this court for in camera review and determination as to whether they

should be produced to the Honorable Raymond Davilla for his in camera review for possible

production in the state criminal proceedings.

The petition, memorandum of points and authorities in support thereof and this order shall be

served on the Office of the Chief Counsel, U.S. Department of Homeland Security, all parties to the

state court proceedings and Lucia Herrera Hawke (aka Lucia Herrera Marquez) by July 20, 2007. 

Any response must be filed by August 3, 2007.
