Lorig

Milton Lorig and Michael Burton are physicians licensed by respondent Medical Board of California (the Board). Lorig and Burton are also members of the Union of American Physicians and Dentists (the Union), which is the recognized bargaining representative for approximately 2,000 physicians and dentists employed by the State of California and nine political subdivisions. Lorig, Burton, and the Union (collectively appellants) timely appeal from a judgment by which the San Francisco Superior Court denied their request for injunctive and declaratory relief, and dismissed their complaint. The issue presented is whether the Board violated the Information Practices Act (Civ. Code, § 1798 et seq. (IPA)), or the California Public Records Act (Gov. Code, § 6250 et seq. (CPRA)), by posting appellants’ names and “addresses of record” on its Internet Web site. The trial court ruled that the address of record filed with the Board by a licensed physician is an item of public information, and that disclosure of that information on respondents’ Web site gives rise to no triable issue of fact with respect to any violation of the IPA or the CPRA. We agree, and will affirm.
