1Opinion of the CourtCarter, C.J.

|sThis case arises in the context of a public records request. At issue is whether the Attorney General’s investigative file into the circumstances surrounding numerous deaths at Tenet Health System Memorial Health Center following Hurricane *104Katrina is presently subject to disclosure under the Louisiana Public Records Act. Concluding the file presently pertains to reasonably anticipated criminal litigation, we hold that the file is exempt from disclosure pursuant to La.Rev.Stat. Ann. § 44:3 A(l). So holding, we reverse the district court judgment.
