complaint·June 23, 2023

Based on review of emails facility legal department was made aware of the request and on 06/14/2023 responded to facility staff that the legal department will follow up on request. Per review of emails facility staff contacted their legal department again on 06/18/2023 and has not received a response. It was also noted on 06/14/2023 that the legal department would request an extension . Per interviews with witnesses the legal department has not requested an extension as of 06/22/2023. Based on interviews with ED, the policy for internal documents is to request through their legal department and currently due to cyberattack it has delayed the request. Although the facility is currently facing a cyberattack, the facility has not produced the requested documents. Therefore based on the preponderance of evidence through interviews and records review the allegation the Facility did not make confidential information available upon request is determined to be SUBSTANTIATED, meaning the complaint allegation is valid and that a violation has occurred. The following is being cited per California Code of Regulations Title 22 Division 6 Chapter 8. An exit interview was conducted and a copy of this report and appeal rights was provided to the facility representative.
