Rule 40-8. Objection to Disclosure

Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 4011 and 40-26, the prosecuting authority or the defendant may object to disclosure of any information or items which are directed to be provided by those sections but which the objecting party believes for good cause should not be disclosed or for which it is reasonably believed that a protective order provided by Section 40-40 et seq. would be warranted. Such objection shall be made in writing and shall set forth the grounds of such belief as fully as possible. The objection shall be served in accordance with Sections 10-12 through 10-17 and a copy shall be filed with the court within twenty days of the request unless the judicial authority, for good cause shown, allows a later filing. After hearing the judicial authority shall determine whether such information or items shall be disclosed.
