The following excerpt is from People v. Cabrera, F057254, Fresno Super. Ct. No. F07908150 (Cal. App. 2011):
Subject to these disclosure protections, counsel for a convicted defendant is entitled to the list of jurors who served in the case, including addresses and telephone numbers, if the defendant sets forth a sufficient showing to support a reasonable belief that juror misconduct occurred, that diligent efforts were made to contact the jurors through other means, and that further investigation is necessary to prove the court with adequate information to rule on a motion for new trial. Absent a satisfactory, preliminary showing of possible juror misconduct, the strong public interests in the integrity of the jury system and a juror's right to privacy outweigh the countervailing public interest served by disclosure of the juror information. (People v. Carrasco (2008) 163 Cal.App.4th 978, 989-990, citing People v. Rhodes (1989) 212 Cal.App.3d 541, 551552.)
