Code section 6250 et seq., Cal. Const. art. I section 3(b), the petition is denied where: 1) the trial court correctly concluded that the Report itself is a public document; and 2) the court correctly determined that portions of the Report contain confidential personnel information exempt from disclosure under the PRA, however the trial court's redactions went too far.
