In People v. Superior Court (Broderick) (1991) 231 Cal.App.3d 584, the trial court quashed subpoenas seeking records from mental health professionals who had treated a defendant facing retrial in a murder case. The trial court quashed the subpoenas on the grounds they violated the defendant's privilege against self-incrimination. The People sought a writ of mandate in the appellate court seeking disclosure of the material. The appellate court found that writ review should be accorded to the People. The appellate court began by citing to Stanley and stated that if review is not given the People may be deprived of discovery to which they are entitled. (Id. at pp. 586-589.)
