What is the legal test for a motion to compel disclosure of juror identifying information?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from The People v. Wilbert Lee St., F058909, Super. Ct. No. VCF204484 (Cal. App. 2010):
The statutory guidelines for the disclosure of juror identifying information are clear. Code of Civil Procedure section 2062 authorizes criminal defense counsel to make a request of the court pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 237, 3 which authorizes disclosure only on a showing of facts sufficient to establish good cause. The standard of review of a court's denial of a defense motion to compel disclosure of juror identifying information is abuse of discretion. (People v. Jones (1998) 17 Cal.4th 279, 317.)
