What is the augmented reporter's transcript of the trial court's decision not to release any documents to the defense?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Johnson, F077424 (Cal. App. 2019):

The augmented reporter's transcript was filed on March 6, 2019. This transcript reflects that the trial court reviewed the documents produced by the custodians of records and noted each document reviewed, made inquiries of the custodians of records, and determined there were no discoverable personnel records. We conclude from our independent review the trial court did not err, or abuse its discretion, by not releasing any of the documents to the defense. (People v. Jackson (1996) 13 Cal.4th 1164, 1221.)

The judgment is affirmed.
