What are the findings of an independent review of the transcript of the Pitchess proceeding and the records submitted under seal?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from The People v. Bemis, F058264, No. BF123437A (Cal. App. 2011):

Having independently reviewed the transcript of the Pitchess proceeding and the records examined by the trial court and submitted under seal, we conclude that the trial court did not abuse its discretion in determining that none of the records were relevant to the issues presented in this case. Accordingly, we uphold the ruling on the Pitchess motion. (People v. Prince (2007) 40 Cal.4th 1179, 1286; People v. Hughes, supra, 27 Cal.4th at p. 330.)

The judgment is affirmed.
