p0575 In a suit against a sheriff's deputy based on the allegation that he used excessive physical force against plaintiff while plaintiff was incarcerated in a county jail, investigation records of the Sheriff's Internal Affairs Division were material to the litigation, so an order directing disclosure of those records was properly entered, but in this case the investigating officer's subjective impressions would not be admissible at trial or lead to the discovery of admissible evidence, so they should be redacted.CitationHAGGERTY v SUPERIOR COURT (Pitchess Motion) 117 CA4 1079 [See: EvC 1043 1047; PenC 832.5, 832.7 832.8; Pitchess v Superior Court 11 C3 531; People v Mooc 26 C4 1216]
