Opinion
Opinion By: Albert B. Chandler III, Attorney General; James M. Ringo, Assistant Attorney General
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 Kentucky State Penitentiary did not violate the Open Records Act in its disposition of Harlan McIntosh's request for records due to his confinement in disciplinary segregation. It is our opinion that 98-ORD-157, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated by reference, is controlling. We find no error in the Kentucky State Penitentiary'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.
