Gov't Code § 6250, et seq., or other means available to plaintiff. If access to the required information is denied or unreasonably delayed, plaintiff may seek judicial intervention.

a. One completed USM-285 form for defendant Ralls;
b. Two copies of the endorsed complaint filed April 24, 2009; and
