Misdemeanor and Traffic Case Discovery
Misdemeanor and
traffic case discovery is provided as a paper copy of the police reports
relevant to a case. When discovery is requested in a case being heard in the
Boulder courthouse, the Discovery Unit staff will copy the reports and any CD or
DVD media contained in the file.
In cases filed in the Longmont
courthouse, attorneys will be provided with the DA case file and access to a
copy machine. Defendants will be provided with copies of discovery. Payment
for discovery must be made at the time discovery is obtained. Files may not be
removed from the office.
In routine cases, where the
District Attorney’s Office already has a copy of the reports provided by law
enforcement, the discovery will be available within three business days of the
request. In complex cases, or when reports from the law enforcement agency must
be requested, the discovery will be available after the reports have been
received and copied.
All requests for discovery will
be treated as continuing requests until a case is closed, so all additional
discovery received in a case will be copied, provided, and must be paid for
until the case is closed.
As soon as discovery is
available, the Discovery Unit staff will call the attorney or defendant.
Discovery can be paid for and picked up at the District Attorney’s Office
anytime between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. during regular county workdays. At the
time discovery is picked up, full payment must be made for all cases in which
original or supplemental discovery is available. No discovery will be provided
if there is an outstanding order for discovery that is unpaid. Only checks or
cash can be accepted as payment for discovery. No credit cards are accepted.
