Description
1 The question in this case is whether documents and other information in an on-going criminal investigation are discoverable in related civil litigation. This litigation arises out of the disappearance of Robbie Romero, who was seven years old when he was last seen near his home in Santa Fe on June 7, 2000. Plaintiffs are the parents of Robbie Romero, who sued the City of Santa Fe, the Santa Fe Police Department (City Defendants), and Jerry Archuleta, a former Santa Fe police lieutenant, for alleged negligence in the handling of the investigation into Robbies disappearance. This tragic backdrop makes the conflicting interests in this case, between the parents natural desire to know the fate of their son and a police departments understandable need to protect confidential materials gathered in the course of a criminal investigation, all the more compelling and of substantial public interest.
