*On May 10, 2000, the Superior Court of California, County of Santa Clara, issued a "courtesy notice" indicating a due date of July 10, 2000, and an "amount due" of $146.00 and an "administrative fee amount" of $159. * On May 20, 2000, the defendant prepared an informal request for discovery pursuant to the provisions of Sections 1054 et seq. of the Penal Code, and delivered it by registered mail to the Office of the District Attorney of the Traffic-Municipal Court. Defendant included a check in the amount of $159.00 to cover bond. * The aforementioned informal request for discovery was delivered to one H. Dinh, and signed for by this individual on May 22, 2000. * On May 26, 2000, the court returned paperwork for the preparation of a trial by written declaration, with no acknowledgement of the request for discovery. My bond check was returned to me. * On June 7, 2000, the 15 days allotted for a response to the informal request for discovery pursuant to Section 1054.5(b) of the Penal Code had elapsed, and defendant submitted a written request for a court order for discovery pursuant to the provisions of this section. * On June 18, 2000, defendant received a reply to aforementioned request from one L. Apodaca, Legal Process Clerk III, indicating that it was necessary to come to the office and schedule a motion hearing in person. My bond check was once again returned to me. * On June 30, 2000, defendant scheduled a motion hearing for July 25, 2000. * At the motion hearing on July 25, 2000, Mr. Robert Martinelli of the Office of the District Attorney first attempted to try the case, then attested that their Office had never seen

my informal request for discovery, despite it having been addressed to the District Attorney at the address indicated on the face of the citation. Mr. Martinelli promised to review the request for discovery with the District Attorney and make a response. * On August 1, 2000 defendant sent another copy of the July 25 motion for a court order for discovery, via certified mail, directly to the Office of the District Attorney in addition to having personally delivered a copy of the motion to Mr. Martinelli at the July 25 hearing. *On August 16, 2000, seven days after the 15-day statutory deadline set forth in California Penal Code Section 1054.5(b) -- counting from the hand delivery of the request for discovery to Mr. Martinelli, an agent of the Office of the District Attorney on July 25 -- and fully 86 days after the delivery of the original informal request for discovery on May 22, defendant received only a copy of both sides of the officer's copy of the citation, with the remaining items requested for discovery having been ignored and unacknowledged.

MOTION In accordance with Section 1054.5(b) of the Penal Code, having satisfied the provisions in Section 1054 et seq. for making an informal request for discovery before seeking a remedy in the courts, and having made every reasonable effort, via mail and by in-person appearance in the Court of Comissioner Heath, to obtain the materials defendant requires to prepare an adequate defense, all to no avail after more than 13 weeks, the defense moves that the court prohibit the testimony of witnesses on behalf of the prosecution, or apply any other sanction deemed appropriate under the provisions of Section 1054 et seq. of the California Penal Code, in this matter of the abrogation of defendant's right to reciprocal discovery as guaranteed in the California Constitution Article I, Section 30(c).

If the Constitutionally-guaranteed safeguards of criminal defendants are not to be adhered to for an infraction, it is a short step indeed to a dispensation from the cherished legal principles of our Constitutional Republic. If the Office of the District Attorney cannot be bothered to properly handle a simple discovery request in a simple criminal infraction case, I gravely fear for those falsely accused of a felony. Please find attached an additional listing of the items requested for discovery pursuant to Rule 335(a) of the 2000 California Rules of Court.
