SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF <COUNTY NAME>, <JUSTICE CENTER or BRANCH> PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, vs. <NAME> Pursuant to California Penal Code sections 1054 and 1054.1, and California Government Code section 26500, the defendant in the above-entitled matter does hereby request under discovery the following:

Case No. <TICKET NUMBER> DISCOVERY REQUEST

A copy of the Project Report for the traffic signal in this case as required by the
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, as modified by the California Supplement, (MUTCD) Section 4B.102.

A copy of the Cooperative Agreement for the traffic signal in this case as required by MUTCD Section 4B.109. A copy of any contract in which the State agrees to provide traffic signal control system engineering services for the traffic signal in this case per MUTCD Section 4B.110.

A copy of the Studies and Factors for Justifying Traffic Control Signals and all attendant Warrants for the traffic signal in this case as set forth in MUTCD Section 4C.01.

A copy of the Signal Plan Schedules for the traffic signal in this case as required by MUTCD Section 4D.102. A copy of the most current Review of Traffic Signal Operations including timing records for the traffic signal in this case as required by MUTCD Section 4D.114.

A copy of the Engineering and Traffic Survey as defined in pages 51 through 54 of chapter 2B used to set the speed limit which in turn determines the timing of the

yellow light for the traffic signal in this case per MUTCD Table 4D.102 as required by Vehicle Code section 21455.7. A copy of the contract between the <city/county> of <_____> and the supplier of the automated enforcement system. Please note: PC 1054.1 uses the imperative, shall disclose. The only place in the law where we find any choice in this matter is in Government Code 26500, which states in part: The public prosecutor shall attend the courts, and within his or her discretion shall initiate and conduct on behalf of the people all prosecutions for public offenses. (emphasis added) Obviously the public prosecutor would not violate the law, therefore we will have to interpret a failure to provide the documents requested under discovery as an exercise of the discretion provided for in GC 26500 and a decision not to prosecute this case. This request is made on this the <date>th day of <Month> <year>.
