His attorney had declared in a motion to the court that Woods had the right to his privacy. On Tuesday a protective order was issued, however, and although Woods’ drug records will not be available to the public through state records they will be seen by those who are involved in his case, including witnesses, law enforcement and both legal teams. The subpoena asked to see “any and all prescription medication on file.”
