RE: Public Records Act Request

Dear Ms. Shannan Borton,

Pursuant to my rights under the California Public Records Act (Government Code Section 6250 et seq.), I ask to obtain a copy of electronic records relating to licensed individuals, which I understand to be held by your agency. Specifically I am requesting information pertaining to:

All revoked and voluntarily surrendered RN licenses from 2005-2007

The disciplinary cause for each revoked individual or individual who surrendered their license respectively, including name of license holder, reason for revocation or surrender, and date of revocation or surrender.

I am not requesting the records containing revocations stayed license probation only.

This position is consistent with the Act as it has been interpreted. If you determine that any or all or the information qualifies for an exemption from disclosure, I ask you to note whether, as is normally the case under the Act, the exemption is discretionary, and if so whether it is necessary in this case to exercise your discretion to withhold the information.

If you determine that some but not all of the information is exempt from disclosure and that you intend to withhold it, I ask that you redact it for the time being and make the rest available as requested. In any event, please provide a signed notification citing the legal authorities on which you rely if you determine that any or all of the information is exempt and will not be disclosed.

If I can provide any clarification that will help expedite your attention to my request, please contact me. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

Ashly McGlone
