RE: Public Records Act Request

Dear Ms. Geranen,

Pursuant to my rights under the California Public Records Act (Government Code Section 6250 et seq.), I ask to obtain a copy of any and all records showing disciplinary action from 2004-present, which I understand to be held by your agency, including:
· Name of offenders
· Date of disciplinary action
· Nature of offense
· All disciplinary action taken, including exact fine amounts

Though I understand that enforcement records from 1996-2004 are provided on the Veterinary Medical Board website, I ask to obtain current records in database form for analysis purposes.

I respectfully ask for a determination on this request within 10 days of your receipt of it, and an even prompter reply if you can make that determination without having to review the records in question. 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 whom 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 at (209) 914-7778.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Sincerely,


Rose Creasman
