P1529 REVIEW DENIED Although the coroner's office is not specifically named in an exemption from the disclosure requirements of the California Public Records Act (Government Code sections 6250 et seq.), the statutory exemption does apply to an autopsy report that is part of an investigation into the cause of a criminally related death; representatives of the media have no greater right to examine public records than any other members of the general public.CitationDIXON v SUPERIOR COURT (Autopsy Records) 170 CA4 1271 [See: GovC 6250 etseq; Haynie v Superior Court 80 CA4 603, T/AT 7/00]
