The lead contractor on the Berkeley apartment complex that was the site of a deadly balcony collapse in mid-June sought a restraining order Tuesday to prevent district attorney investigators from examining the evidence without a company representative present.
After a brief court appearance, Alameda County Superior Court Judge Evelio Grillo postponed a hearing on the matter until Wednesday.
The Alameda County District Attorney's office announced last week that it had launched an investigation of the June 16 collapse at Library Gardens to determine whether charges of criminal negligence or a civil consumer protection action are warranted.
