PETERS: Good afternoon, your Honor. 6 MR. HOLLY: Good afternoon. 7 THE COURT: Counsel, state your appearances. 8 MR. HOLLY: Trevor Holly for the People. 9 MR. KRISHNAN: Ajay Krishnan for Dr. Benzeevi. 10 MR. PETERS: Elliot Peters for Dr. Benzeevi. 11 MS. DOWD: Bevan Dowd for Dr. Benzeevi. 12 MR. WANGER: Oliver Wanger and Peter Jones for 13 HCCA and Dr. Benzeevi. 14 THE COURT: Mr. Jones, if you wish to pull up 15 a chair. 16 MR. JONES: I'm okay. 17 THE COURT: I've reviewed all of the pleadings 18 in the matter. I have reviewed the citations. 19 Is there anything else that counsel wishes to 20 indicate on this matter? Mr. Holly first -- actually, 21 no, I take that back, it is your motion. 22 MR. PETERS: However your Honor wants to 23 proceed. 24 THE COURT: I'll hear from you, Counsel. Let 25 me get my realtime up. 26 (Pause in the proceedings.) Superior Court of the State of California County of Tulare 12-18-2018 8:00AM Re: SEARCH WARRANT VSW 013487 August 22,2018 Page 5 MR. PETERS: We'll do our best to make 1 2 ourselves understandable. 3 Your Honor, I understand that we’ve submitted 4 a substantial amount of paper, including evidence, 5 case citations, and so on. 6 I have here with me, and I prepared, a short 7 presentation based on a handful of exhibits, which are 8 exhibits that your Honor has, but we've pulled out the 9 text that we think is relevant. I think it would be ;lo helpful to your Honor if I walk through them for 10 or ;li 15 minutes to help the Court understand what we 12 believe are the key facts. 13 For example, some of the provisions from the 14 Management Services agreement between HCCA and the 15 District, a document which is very important but which 16 wasn't even discussed in the affidavit. It was 17 referenced in one throwaway line. So I believe that 18 if -- I think it would be helpful to your Honor. You 19 know what's best helpful for you. That's why we put 20 it together, and I'd like to walk you through it, and 21 I think it would help. 22 THE COURT: Well, this has to do with whether 23 or not the property seized should be returned, i 24 correct? 25 MR. PETERS: Correct. 26 There is also the sealing issue, but I was Superior Court of the State of California County of Tulare 12-18-2018 8:00AM Re: SEARCH WARRANT VSW 013487 August 22, 2018 Page 6 going right to the substantive motion. Of course, 1 2 however you want to proceed is the way we'll proceed. 3 THE COURT: As I see it -- and as I see the 4 issue with regard to the property to be returned, I 5 don't believe that I can rule as a matter of law that 6 no crime was committed, so, therefore -- I think I 7 understand why you're wanting to go through those 8 things, that's a factual determination which, under 9 McGraw and -- I'll mispronounce the other case -- 10 Ensoniq, E-N-S-O-N-I-Q, there should be an evidentiary 11 hearing. 12 Although, I'll be more than willing to consider your documents. Unless you indicate those i 3 J.4 show as a matter of law that no crime has been committed, I don't know that it will help for purposes f 5 16 of this hearing. 17 MR. PETERS: Your Honor, as I understand the 18 proper legal standard, I don't think we have to prove 19 as a matter of law no crime was committed. What we 20 have to do is demonstrate that the People can't show 21 by a preponderance of the evidence that a crime was 22 committed. I’m not trying to split hairs, but I do 23 think that's a significant difference in this case. 24 Boy, your Honor, if I -- if you give me a few 25 minutes to walk you through some of these documents, I 26 think it will help you understand the nature of the Superior Court of the State of California County of Tulare 12-18-2018 8:00AM
