SPECIAL COMMITTEE: Judge John Ovard, Judge
B. B. Schraub, Judge Darrell Hester, Judge Olen Underwood, Judge Jeff Walker
After our first decision was issued in this matter,
the Respondent raised the issue that the complainants’ home addresses, home or
personal telephone numbers, social security numbers, and family member
information were contained in the requested complaint records. The Respondent alleged that those portions of
the record were exempt from disclosure under Rule 12.5(d), and requested that
they be allowed to deny access to those exempt portions by redacting them.
We agree that the portions of the requested records
that reflect any person’s home address, home or personal telephone number,
social security number, or family members are exempt from disclosure under Rule
12.5(d). Accordingly, we reaffirm our
earlier decision granting the petition for access to the complaint records. However, the municipal court should produce
those records only after redacting information that reflects any person’s home
address, home or personal telephone number, social security number, or family
members.
