Opinion By: Albert B. Chandler III, Attorney General; Amye L. Bensenhaver, Assistant Attorney
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 Stephen W. Owens, a private attorney, is not bound by, and therefore did not violate, the Open Records Act in failing to respond to former client Danny R. Harris's November 28, 2002, request for records relating to case numbers 00-CR-00089 and 99-CR-00112-002 which were tried in the Floyd Circuit Court. We believe that 97-ORD-15, 01-ORD-24, and 01-ORD-40, copies of which are attached hereto and incorporated by reference, are controlling. Although Mr. Owens may be obligated under the Rules of Professional Conduct governing attorneys licensed to practice law in Kentucky to return Mr. Harris's client file, 1 he is not obligated to do so under the Open Records Act.
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 proceeding.
