Boulder County, District Court
FLEET RUSSELL WHITE, JR. AND PRISCILLA BROWN WHITE, Plaintiff's
v.
MARY T. KEENAN
Defendant.
Case Number: O3 CV 1912
ORDER
This matter comes before the court on Plaintiff's motion to Show cause pursuant to C.R.S. 24-72-305 (7). Plaintiffs have been provided a copy of the interview notes and handwritten notes that they requested. Plaintiff's application related to the access to the information that was redacted from those notes. See Exhibits 5 & 6
The Court finds that the custodian of the records redacted a small amount of information that was related to the ongoing investigation of the murder of JonBenet Ramsey. In addition, the custodian redacted the name of an individual whose privacy interests deserve protection.
The court conducted an in camera review of the documents in question. The court is clearly convinced that the custodian properly determined that disclosure of the redacted information would be contrary to the public interest. These files are clearly "investigatory files" compiled for a "law enforcement purpose", and to protect the privacy rights of an individual. See C.R.S. 24-72-30 (5).
It is therefore ORDERED, that the Application for an Order to Show Cause is denied.
