The following excerpt is from People v. Medrano-Melendez, B228904 (Cal. App. 2013):
After a criminal jury verdict is recorded, all identifying juror information is sealed until further order of the trial court. (Code Civ. Proc., 237, subd. (a)(2).) Code of Civil Procedure section 206, subdivision (g), permits a defendant to petition the trial court, pursuant to Code of Civil Procedure section 237, for access to personal juror identification informationi.e., jurors' names, addresses, and telephone numbersupon a showing that such information is necessary for a new trial motion or any other lawful purpose. (Townsel v. Superior Court (1999) 20 Cal.4th 1084, 1087.) A motion for disclosure of juror information must be "supported by a declaration that includes facts sufficient to establish good cause for the release of the juror's personal identifying information. The court shall set the matter for hearing if the petition and supporting declaration establish a prima facie showing of good cause for the release of the personal juror identifying information . . . ." (Code Civ. Proc., 237, subd. (b).)
