In re: James Robert Whitehead/ Green County Circuit Court
Clerk
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 Green County Circuit Court
Clerk is not bound by the provisions of the Kentucky Open Records
Act, and therefore cannot be said to have violated the provisions
of the Act by failing to respond within three business days to
James Robert Whitehead's request. We believe that 96-ORD-173, 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.
