Wilcox v. Batiste

District Court, E.D. Washington

Decided December 21, 2018No. : 2:17-CV-122-RMPPublishedCited by 9 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

As a part of its argument that the state is the real party at interest, Chief Batiste argues that he did not act ultra vires. ECF No. 35 at 8. In response, Ms. Wilcox refers the Court to the WSP's Public Records Exemption Codes List, ECF No. 3-10, arguing that Chief Batiste violated redaction policies by disclosing PTCRs with personal information on them. ECF No. 56 at 12. In reply, Chief Batiste argues that there are separate codes governing redaction of DOL records and PTCRs, respectively. ECF No. 64 at 7.

A state officer acts ultra vires only when the officer acts without any authority…
