The following excerpt is from People v. Watler, B246663 (Cal. App. 2013):
We review the trial court's determination for an abuse of discretion. (People v. Jackson (1996) 13 Cal.4th 1164, 1220-1221.) The records produced in the trial court were not retained, but the sealed transcript of the in camera hearing demonstrates that the custodian of the records described the records and that the trial judge examined them. We thus find the transcript sufficiently detailed to review the trial court's exercise of discretion. (See People v. Mooc (2001) 26 Cal.4th 1216, 1228-1229.) Upon review of the sealed record of the in camera proceedings we conclude the trial court properly exercised its discretion in determining that none of the documents considered should be disclosed to the defense.
