Bolger v. Lance

KIDWELL, Justice.

This case involves a public records request made by David F. Bolger (Bolger) upon the Office of the Attorney General (AG). The AG denied the request, and this action ensued. The district court denied Bolger’s petition for disclosure of the records, finding that they were exempt from disclosure as investigatory records of a law enforcement agency. Bolger appealed, challenging the procedures employed by the AG and the district court related to the hearing on his petition and the district court’s finding that the documents were exempt.
