NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- Former Hewlett-Packard chairman Patricia Dunn was named in a criminal complaint filed by the California attorney general Wednesday, but chief executive Mark Hurd dodged legal action for now.

Dunn, along with Kevin Hunsaker, HP's former chief ethics officer and senior counsel, were named in a felony complaint filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court by California Attorney General Bill Lockyer.

Ronald DeLia, managing director of Security Outsourcing Services, the investigative firm hired by HP, was also named, as were two other outside investigators.
