People v. Manzanillo

In People v. Manzanillo, 145 Misc. 2d 504, defendant, who was charged with sexual abuse in the third degree (PL 130.55) and endangering the welfare of a child (PL 260.10 [1]), sought the Department of Education's psychological records concerning a fourteen year old remedial student attending a special education program. (Id. at 505.) There the court found defendant did not make a sufficient showing that he was entitled to access the complainant's records. (Id. at 509.) However, the court did order an in camera inspection of the complainant's psychological records held by the Department to determine if there was potential Brady material that should be turned over to defense counsel.
