California Court of Appeal

In an action involving disclosure of information in a police officer's personnel files, trial court's denial of plaintiff's petition for writ of mandate under Code of Civil Procedure section 1085 to compel disclosure is affirmed where the police department complied with its obligations under the Public Safety Officers Procedural Bill of Rights Act in withholding the requested materials as it is unreasonable to require the department to disclose internal investigative materials that it is not authorized to use in making personnel determinations.
