In re: James Blair/Department of Corrections
Open Records Decision
This matter having been presented to the Attorney General in an open records appeal, and the Attorney General being sufficiently advised, we find that the Department of Corrections did not violate the Open Records Act in its disposition of James Blair’s August 9, 2000, request for records. It is our opinion that 99-ORD-102, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated by reference, is controlling. We find no error in the Department’s actions.
A party aggrieved by this decision may appeal it by initiating action in the appropriate circuit court pursuant to KRS 61.880(5) and KRS 61.882. Pursuant to KRS 61.880(3), the Attorney General should be notified of any action in circuit court, but should not be named as a party in that action or in any subsequent proceedings.
