Q: discovery practice in civil litigation. However, here, plaintiff had no discovery rights which were inconsistent with the applicable provisions of the Open Records Act. Plaintiff argues that the denial of access to the confidential examination material violated his due process rights in the administrative appeal. We disagree. Although plaintiff's interests in prospective governmental employment, without more, may not have been entitled to the protection of procedural due process, when the state, as here, establishes a statutory and regulatory scheme imposing more stringent standards on itself than are otherwise required by the constitution, due process requires the government to adhere strictly to those standards. Carpenter v. Civil Service Commission, 813 P.2d 773 (Colo.App.1990) (<HOLDING>); see Department of Health v. Donahue, 690 P.2d
