What is the test for establishing "good cause" in a civil case?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Cox, F067171 (Cal. App. 2015):

Establishing "good cause" requires the defendant to demonstrate a "specific factual scenario" that establishes a "plausible factual foundation" for the allegations of officer misconduct. (City of Santa Cruz v. Municipal Court (1989) 49 Cal.3d 74, 85-86.) A factual scenario is "plausible" if it is one that "might or could have occurred." (Warrick v. Superior Court (2005) 35 Cal.4th 1011, 1026.)
