October 20, 2017 Re: OCR Transaction Number: Dear as: On July 6, 2017, the Office for Civil Rights (OCR), Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Pacific Region, received correspondence from you. OCR enforces Federal civil rights laws that prohibit discrimination in the delivery of health and human services because of race, color, national origin, disability, age, and, under certain circumstances, sex and religion. OCR also has jurisdiction over health plans, health care clearinghouses, and certain health care providers with respect to enforcement of the Privacy, Security, and Breach Notification Rules promulgated pursuant to the Health Insurance Poriability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA). Based upon review of your correspondence, we have determined that OCR will not investigate your complaint. We do not have jurisdiction over the agency you name because it does not receive Federal financial assistance from HHS. Please be aware that OCR does not have jurisdiction over the Contra Costa County Family Court Services as they do not receive Federal financial assistance from HHS. We are closing your complaint and will take no further action regarding the issues you have raised. Under the Freedom of Information Act, we may be required to release this letter and other information about this case upon request by the public. In the event OCR receives such a request, we will make every effort, as permitted by law, to protect information that identifies individuals or that, if released, could constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. ‘Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. We regret that we are unable to assist you. Sincerely, Michael Leoz Regional Manager
