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 Green River Correctional Complex properly relied on KRS 197.025(2), incorporated into the Open Records Act by operation of KRS 61.878(1)(l), 1 in denying inmate Ralph Franklin, Jr.'s, June 21, 2005, request for "one copy of the food label for the egg substitute served at the dinner meal on 6/20/05." It is the decision of this office that 99-ORD-102, as affirmed in 02-ORD-241, copies of which are attached hereto and incorporated by reference, are dispositive of the issue on appeal. We find no error in GRCC's denial of Mr. Franklin's request.
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.
