Joseph DeAngelo is scheduled to appear in a Sacramento courtroom with his lawyer, Diane Howard.
She has filed a motion to block a warrant obtained by the district attorney to take DNA, fingerprints and photos of DeAngelo's body.
Sacramento County District Attorney Anne Marie Schubert obtained the search warrant last week.

DeAngelo, a 72-year-old former police officer, was arrested last week and identified as the suspect in at least a dozen murders and more than 50 rapes between 1976 and 1986.
Prosecutors say they used DNA and a genealogical website to identify DeAngelo, decades after the case had gone cold.
