DEATH PENALTY CASE

ORDER GRANTING REQUEST OF

PETITIONER’S COUNSEL FOR HEARING

TRANSCRIPTS

This matter is before the Court on the ex parte request of appointed CJA counsel for Petitioner

Rodney Berryman, Sr. (“Berryman”) for specified hearing transcripts, as follows: 

1. Ex parte, confidential hearing on March 6, 2002, reported by Gail Thomas;

2. Ex parte, confidential hearing on September 25, 2008, reported by Peggy Crawford;

3. Ex parte, confidential hearing on December 17, 2008, reported by Gail Thomas; and

4. Noticed hearing on February 18, 2009, reported by Peggy Crawford, including confidential

portions, if any.

On October 15, 2010, the Court issued an order granting counsel access to and copies of all

sealed documents in the Court’s file (the non-sealed documents being accessible without order). The

present request is a logical and appropriate follow-up of the prior order. Co-counsel, Tim Brosnan,

represents that this request is unopposed by counsel for Respondent Vince Cullen, as Warden of San

Quentin State Prison.
