Supreme Court of California

Following a charge by felony complaint with threatening and resisting an arresting officer, the court rules that a magistrate's denial of defendant's Pitchess motion was not erroneous as, although a defendant may file a Pitchess motion before a preliminary hearing, the pendency of that motion will not necessarily or invariably constitute good cause for postponing the preliminary hearing over the prosecution's objection.
