California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Hughley, B298565 (Cal. App. 2020):

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 requested information. (Code Civ. Proc., 237, subd. (b).) To demonstrate good cause, the party seeking disclosure must " 'set[] forth a sufficient showing to support a reasonable belief that jury misconduct occurred, that diligent efforts were made to contact the jurors through other means, and that further investigation is necessary to provide the court with adequate information to rule on a motion for new trial.' " (People v. Carrasco (2008) 163 Cal.App.4th 978, 990.)
