FACEBOOK, INC. v. S.C. (HUNTER)
Stay dissolved; petition denied
The requests to appear pro hac vice are granted.
In light of (1) the fact that trial has begun (Martinez v. Illinois (2014) 572 U.S. 833, 840; People v. Rogers (1995) 37 Cal.App.4th 1053, 1057, fn. 3; see also People v. Superior Court (Douglass) (1979) 24 Cal.3d 428, 431, fn. 2), and (2) the trial court's finding of a strong justification for access to the sought information by real parties in interest (see, e.g., Pet's Ex. 1, RT of May 1, 2019, at pp. 38-39 & 41-42; see generally, Kling v. Superior Court (2010) 50 Cal.4th 1068, 1075), the petition for writ of mandate, prohibition, and/or other extraordinary relief is denied. The stay previously issued by this court is dissolved.
