Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in California

Not necessarily. The federal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and California Public Records Act (CPRA) each have several exceptions identifying documents that need not be disclosed. If you file a lawsuit and serve a subpoena (or, if a government entity is a party, a Request for Production [in federal court] or an Inspection Demand [in California court] and the documents that would not be disclosed under FOIA or CPRA are relevant to the lawsuit, you may be able to obtain those additional documents.

The foregoing does not constitute legal advice and is provided for informational purposes only. Legal advice must take into account facts and circumstances which are not identified in your question, and should be the result of a give-and-take conversation with an attorney. No attorney-client or other relationship is created by the undersigned responding to the above question.

I wish you the best in resolving this matter.

Sincerely,
