p0617 In deciding whether a public entity must make disclosure under the California Public Records Act of disciplinary proceedings involving a public employee, the court should examine the documents presented to determine whether they reveal sufficient indicia of reliability to support a reasonable conclusion that the complaint was wellfounded, and if so, the court should then balance the competing concerns of public interest and the employee's right to privacy.CitationBAKERSFIELD CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT v SUPERIOR COURT (Disciplinary Records) 118 CA4 1041 [See: GovC 6250 etseq; CSU v Superior Court 90 CA4 810, P/AT 9/01; American Federation v Regents 80 CA3 913; City of Hemet v Superior Court 37 CA4 1411; Chronicle v Superior Court 54 C2 548]
