As amended through October 1, 2024

Rule 25.11 - Misdemeanors or Felonies-Protective Orders

The court may at any time, on motion and for good cause shown, order:

(a) Order specified disclosures be denied or restricted, or make an order it determines appropriate, provided that all material which a party is entitled to receive is disclosed in time for counsel to make use of it; and

(b) Order non-discoverable material or information contained within discoverable material be removed or redacted and the remaining material or information be disclosed. The removed or redacted material or information shall be preserved by the party or in the records of the court and be made available to a reviewing court in the event of an appeal.

At any proceeding for showing good cause for the denial or restriction of disclosure, that is made in camera and a record is made, the record of the in camera proceeding shall be sealed and preserved in the records of the court, to be made available to a reviewing court in the event of an appeal.

In determining a motion for protective order, the court may consider the following: the risk of endangering the life or physical safety of an individual; the risk of intimidation of potential witnesses; the risk of flight from prosecution; the risk of destruction or tampering with evidence; the risk of economic reprisals; the risk that disclosure may seriously jeopardize a criminal investigation; or any other relevant consideration.
