	Court Sets Guidelines Re Mental Exams & Docs; Church to Produce Files for in Camera Review, in Civil Cases Re Pedophile Priests, Cardinal Mahony City of Angels [Los Angeles] April 23, 2007 http://cityofangels3.blogspot.com/ Two court orders last week set precedents for the hundreds of cases to follow re mental exams and production of files, as the first jury trial approaches June 11 in LA civil cases against the Roman Catholic Church. Judge Haley Fromholz granted the church's motion for a mental examination of plaintiff Pepito in the April 18 hearing, saying his decision on this exam applies to the "numerous coordinated cases" defendant is litigating in California. The previous day in the same case, Fromholz ordered seminary files of Lynn Caffoe to be produced for in camera review in the Pepito & Uranga case set for jury trial August 6. The church has to produce seminary files, in Pepito & Uranga and future cases, but for in camera review by the judge before being released to plaintiffs' attorneys. Remember: ("Judge Haley Fromholz stared at Katherine Freberg and said, "I don't want to review anything I don't absolutely have to." See April 17 post.)
