No. M1999-01334-SC-DPE-PD.Supreme Court of Tennessee. at Nashville.
Filed August 10, 2004.
ORDER
PER CURIAM
On August 9, 2004, Philip Ray Workman filed in this Court an “Unopposed Motion to Inspect the Physical Evidence,” in which he requested that an expert be allowed to inspect evidence in his case in Memphis on August 10, 11, or 12, 2004. The motion further states that Judge John P. Colton, Jr., of the Criminal Court for Shelby County instructed the attorneys for Workman to obtain permission for the inspection from this Court . The State does not oppose the motion.
The motion identifies neither the evidence to be inspected nor the expert to inspect it; nor does it state the purpose of the inspection. Motions requesting permission to inspect or withdraw records should identify which part of the record is needed, the location of the record, and the purpose of the request. Workman’s motion includes none of this information and also inadequately informs the Court of the activities it seeks to be authorized. It is therefore ORDERED that the Motion is DENIED at this time. Philip Ray Workman may renew the motion in the court having custody of the evidence he seeks to inspect. Upon a proper showing, the motion should be favorably considered since Workman’s execution is set for September 22, 2004.
