Not able to request this for California

6254
(l) Correspondence of and to the Governor or employees of the Governor's office or in the custody of or maintained by the Governor's Legal Affairs Secretary, provided that public records shall not be transferred to the custody of the Governor's Legal Affairs Secretary to evade the disclosure provision of this chapter.

Comment: This exemption is designed to protect from disclosure communications to the Governor and members of the Governor's staff from correspondents outside of government. Cal. First Amendment Coalition v. Superior Court, 67 Cal. App. 4th 159, 168, 78 Cal. Rptr. 2d 847 (1998). In Times Mirror Co. v. Superior Court, 53 Cal. 3d 1325, 1337, 813 P.2d 240, 283 Cal. Rptr. 893 (1991), the California Supreme Court held that the Governor's daily, weekly and monthly calendars and schedules were not exempt under this subsection, which the Court said was confined to "communications by letter." However, the Court in Times Mirror found such documents to be exempt under the "deliberative process" exemption pursuant to § 6254(a). Id. at 1344.

Expanding the exemption beyond strictly "communications by letters," the appellate court in Cal. First Amendment Coalition, 67 Cal. App. 4th at 169, held that application forms as well as letters received by the Governor's office from applicants for appointment to a vacant supervisor position fell within the correspondence exemption.
