The following excerpt is from People v. Lopez, G051634 (Cal. App. 2016):
Defendant does not assert the court's order was erroneous. Instead, he asks us to make an independent review of the sealed materials upon which the court based the order to determine if there was an abuse of discretion. As the Attorney General agrees, this is an appropriate request. (See, e.g., People v. Hobbs (1994) 7 Cal.4th 948, 971.)
