REQUEST FOR UPDATE ON
CDCR OBJECTION
RE LAW CLERK’S
PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP

On May 29, the Court asked both sides whether there was any object to the participation

18

of the law clerk assigned to help the judge on this case, in light of the fact that his former

19

girlfriend was assigned to work on this case by Legal Aid. California Department of Corrections

20

and Rehabilitation objected, noting it “might reconsider its objection if it had more knowledge

21

about the nature of the law clerk’s personal relationship.”

22
23

The Court seeks an update on whether CDCR maintains it objection after considering the
declaration of Andrea Levien describing the nature of her relationship with the law clerk.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
