Opinion

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. STACY PAUL HERNANDEZ, Defendant. No. 2:04-cr-00066-GEB United States District Court, E.D. California. March 21, 2013

          ORDER

          GARLAND E. BURRELL, Jr., Senior District Judge.

         Defendant filed a petition on March 15, 2013, in which he requests "that the Court order the United States Probation Office for the Eastern District of California to disclose a copy of the arrest report or police report generated by the West Sacramento Police Department after Mr. Hernandez's January 25, 2011 arrest, report no. 11-00389." (Def.'s Pet. 1:25-28 (emphasis added), ECF No. 28.)

         The United States Probation Officer assigned this case communicated with the undersigned judge and members of his chambers concerning Defendant's "disclosure" petition. During these communications, the undersigned judge learned that the Probation Office will "disclose," i.e. make available for examination, the requested report to Defense counsel at the Probation Office.¹ In light of this information, Defendant has not shown that the specific relief requested is necessary. Therefore, Defendant's petition is denied.
