Open Records Decision
This matter has been presented by Mr. Shane Dever to the Attorney General as an open records appeal. Mr. Dever requested a video tape of part of a court proceeding from the Clerk of the Nelson Circuit Court and complains he received no response. Circuit Court Clerks are not subject to the provisions of the Kentucky Open Records Act, and we therefore lack the power to make a decision in this matter. 98-ORD-6. In any event, the Clerk responded to this office and stated that the video tape was sent to Mr. Dever on June 24, 2003.
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.
