P. v. Lopez CA6
Defendant Carlos David Lopez pleaded no contest to two counts of forcibly committing lewd or lascivious acts on his nine-year-old niece (Pen. Code, § 288, subd. (b)(1)), and was sentenced to state prison. Defendant contends the trial court erred by denying his pre-plea motion to access medical records that the victim’s health care provider produced in response to defendant’s subpoena duces tecum. Defendant argues the trial court’s decision violated his federal constitutional rights to the effective assistance of counsel, due process, compulsory process, and confrontation. For the reasons stated here, we will affirm the judgment.
