IT IS SO ORDERED. Date: 10-4-2007 __________________________________ The Honorable Lloyd Hicks Presiding Family Law Judge NO. 08 - 007 (revised as of 3/4/2024) TULARE COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT POLICY AND PROCEDURES ON REQUESTS FOR FUNDS AND PAYMENTS IN CAPITAL CASES UNDER PENAL CODE SECTION 987.9 AND IN ALL OTHER CRIMINAL CASES I. POLICY Penal Code section 987.9 provides for authorization of funds for payments to investigators, experts and others that are reasonably necessary for preparation of the defense of indigents in capital cases. Section 987.9 is only applicable to murder cases in which the death penalty is sought, even though the offense charged is statutorily punishable by death. However, prosecutions under Penal Code section 190.05(a) (second degree murder with prior prison term for murder) are covered by section 987.9. Additionally, as to all criminal cases (including those in which the death penalty is not sought) and juvenile cases an indigent defendant’s or minor’s (hereinafter referred to as defendant) right to counsel includes the right to use investigators, experts and others in the preparation of a defense pursuant to the federal Constitution’s guaranty of the right to counsel and its due process clause (U.S. Constitution, 6th and 14th Amendments). Review Judge: A judge assigned by the presiding judge of the Tulare County Superior Court will review all requests for funds submitted in death penalty cases under section 987.9. This judge shall be known as the “987.9 judge”. (See exhibit one attached hereto for the name of the current 987.9 judge.) The 987.9 judge will also review requests for funds for investigators and ancillary services in all criminal cases in which the death penalty is not sought. Requests in juvenile matters must be presented to the presiding judge of the Juvenile Court. However, the judge where the matter is currently pending, and not the 987.9 judge, has the responsibility to review all requests for funds and payments to experts in cases not seeking the death penalty pursuant to Evidence Code section 730 or other applicable code section. Confidentiality: All requests for funds submitted to the 987.9 judge, and orders issued in response, shall be confidential and maintained in a case file that is separate from the criminal case. The confidential file shall have an independent file number and be known as the “987.9 file”. If a defendant waives his or her privilege of confidentiality by providing information on the record to a judge in a criminal department concerning his or her 987.9 file, the 987.9 judge may release information to the judge in the criminal department regarding the status and contents of requests and orders contained in the defendant’s 987.9 file. Revocation of Orders: All orders authorizing funding for a pro-per defendant are immediately revoked and vacated upon termination of a defendant’s pro-per status or resolution of the criminal or juvenile case. The court will deny all requests for payment for work performed or services provided subsequent to the termination of a defendant’s pro-per status or resolution of the criminal case unless pre-approved by the court. The defendant shall immediately notify the 987.9 judge and judge in the pending criminal department if granted expert funding in a non death penalty case and all service providers of the termination of his or her pro-per status or resolution of the criminal case. Additionally, all service providers shall verify a case is active and, if the defendant was pro-per when authorization for funding was approved, that the defendant continues to be pro-per prior to performing work or providing a service. II. PROCEDURES A. Request for Funds Contents of Request: All initial requests for funds submitted by a defendant or defendant’s counsel to the court shall be in writing and contain: 1) The name of the defendant, description of pending charges and criminal case number; 2) A detailed description of the service requested and the need for the service; and 3) A declaration signed under penalty of perjury by the defendant that lists the defendant’s assets and liabilities and shows that he or she is indigent. Defendants who are represented by counsel shall use the Mandatory Judicial Council Form CR-115 entitled Defendant’s Statement of Assets.

Phone Cards: Requests for phone cards provided by the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office to pro-per defendants who are in custody shall also state the amount of money the defendant requests per week for legal telephone calls. Office Supplies: Requests for office supplies provided by the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office to pro-per defendants who are in custody shall also state the tier level of supplies the defendant requests as follows: 1) Tier 1 for cases in which the death penalty is sought--supplies may be ordered up to the current limit set by the Sheriff’s Office once per week; 2) Tier 2 for all other felony cases—supplies may be ordered up to the current limit bi-weekly; and 3) Tier 3 for misdemeanor cases—supplies may be ordered once a month.

A request for funds for a private investigator shall also state the investigator’s professional license number and the investigator’s resume. Orders: All requests for funds shall contain an original separate proposed order allowing for the request plus one copy and a self-addressed stamped envelope. If the request is for a service provider, the proposed order shall state: 1) the name and address of the provider appointed; 2) the proposed hourly rate to be paid; 3) the number of work hours authorized; and 4) the total fee approved. If the request is for a phone card, the proposed order shall state the amount of money authorized per week for the phone card; if the request is for office supplies, the proposed order shall state the tier level of supplies authorized. If a request for funds is approved, the defendant or defendant’s counsel shall provide a copy of the order approving the request and a copy of this policy to the provider authorized to receive the funds. If the defendant or defendant’s counsel submits additional copies of the proposed order, the clerk of the 987.9 judge will mail conformed copies of the order to the defendant or defendant’s counsel Presentation of Request: All requests for funds, except for requests for expert funding in non death penalty cases, shall be presented directly to Court Administration/Executive Assistant for the 987.9 judge. (See exhibit one attached hereto for the location of the clerk of the current 987.9 judge.) The request shall not be filed or lodged with the criminal clerks in Room 124. Request for expert funding in non-death penalty cases shall be presented to the clerk of the judge in the pending criminal department. All requests to the 987.9 judge shall be contained in a sealed envelope marked confidential and addressed only to the 987.9 judge. Approval of Request: The court will only approve requests for funds that are shown to be reasonable and necessary. B. Request for Payment Allowable payments: All service providers, including the Tulare County Sheriff’s Office, shall only submit requests for payment for work performed or services provided that have been previously authorized in writing by the 987.9 judge. The court will deny requests for payment that have not been pre-approved. All service providers shall only submit one request for payment per month per case. The request shall only include work performed or services provided in the immediate prior month (i.e. a request submitted in May shall only include work performed or services provided in April). Late requests for work performed or services provided in any earlier month will be denied. Contents of Request: Requests for payment shall state the defendant’s name and the 987.9 file number instead of the criminal case number. Requests shall contain a detailed statement showing: 1) the date of service; 2) type of service; 3) time spent; 4) costs incurred; 5) sub-total for each entry; and 6) grand total of the amount requested The court will not approve requests for payment for normal overhead costs which include, but are not limited to, a portion of the provider’s office rent, telephone installation or monthly charges, or time spent preparing a request for payment. Each request for payment for work performed shall contain a declaration submitted by the provider that states: “I,__________________, declare under penalty of perjury, that the work for which payment is being requested was performed as submitted to the court in this request for payment.” If a defendant is represented by counsel, a request for payment shall contain a declaration submitted by the attorney that states: “I,________________, declare under penalty of perjury, that the work for which payment is being requested is within the scope of work I requested.” Receipts: Requests for payment of costs shall contain a copy of the receipt showing the cost was incurred. Costs for photocopies shall be paid at a reasonable rate but shall not exceed 10 cents per copy. Mileage: Mileage shall be paid at the rate of 54.5 cents unless otherwise stated in the order approving the request for funding. The court will not approve a request for payment for miles driven or travel time spent between an investigator’s/expert’s office located outside of Tulare County and the Tulare County border unless pre-approved. This means that an investigator/expert whose office is located outside of Tulare County will be paid mileage and travel time only from the Tulare County border for conducting any business in Tulare County. All providers who maintain an office outside of Tulare County and request funding for mileage or travel time shall submit a declaration with a request for payment that states: “I,________________, declare under penalty of perjury that no time or travel expense between Tulare County and my office which is located outside of Tulare County is included in this statement.” The court will not approve a request for payment for mileage and travel time outside of California unless it is pre-approved or authorized in the order granting a request for funding. Hotel Accommodations, Meals, and Air Faire: The court will not approve a request for payment of hotel accommodations, meals, or air faire unless it complies with State of California guidelines and is pre-approved or authorized in the order granting a request for funding.

All children taken into temporary custody shall be assessed within 24 hours by a qualified medical practitioner for the purpose of determining whether there are any urgent medical needs; 2. If any urgent medical needs are discovered, CWS shall immediately attempt to contact the parents or guardian to inform them of the needs and to seek their consent for medical treatment; 3. If, after a reasonable attempt, the parents or guardian cannot be contacted, the court authorizes CWS to consent to any necessary medical treatment that is of an urgent nature. Urgent treatment shall be defined as treatment that cannot wait until the court detention hearing without causing the child undue pain and suffering or permanent medical disability. 4. In those instances where CWS consents to medical treatment, CWS shall make a reasonable attempt to contact the parents or guardian after the treatment to inform them of the treatment.
