Good afternoon, my office responds to CPRA request for Tuolumne County and this is the first time I've seen this request. We will set up a file and my client is searching for records. We will assert exemptions regarding privacy, medical or otherwise, and death scene photos, and redact and remove material accordingly. (Gov't Code §6254(k) incorporating Cal. Const. Art. I, Sec. I. and 45 Code of Federal Regulations Section 164.512(e)[HIPAA] and Cal. Civ. Code §56 et seq. [CMIA] and CCP §129.) But otherwise we will disclose any nonexempt records if any are found within your criteria. Feel free to reach out for status of the search for records.
Best regards,
Christopher J. Schmidt
Deputy County Counsel
County of Tuolumne

Good afternoon, the Tuolumne County Sheriff-Coroner responds with the attached two (2) reports responsive to your request. These are all the cases located, but redactions were made to both reports to remove personal private information pursuant to the exemptions already cited. Please contact me if you would like to discuss this response or these records.
Best regards,
Christopher Schmidt
Deputy County Counsel
