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 Commonwealth's Attorney for the Thirtieth Judicial Circuit did not violate the Open Records Act in denying Henry Crawford Jr.'s request for all records maintained by his office that relate to case number 07-CR-000418 pursuant to KRS 61.878(1)(h). We believe that 00-ORD-116, a copy of which is attached hereto and incorporated by reference, is controlling.
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.
