  • Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of  sections  240.20 and 240.30, the
      prosecutor or the defendant, as the case may be, may refuse to  disclose
      any  information  which  he reasonably believes is not discoverable by a
      demand to produce, pursuant to section 240.20 or section 240.30  as  the
      case  may  be,  or  for  which he reasonably believes a protective order
      would be warranted.   Such refusal shall be made  in  a  writing,  which
      shall  set  forth  the  grounds  of  such  belief  as fully as possible,
      consistent with the objective of the refusal.    The  writing  shall  be
