Kaleb Lee Basey, Appellant v. State of Alaska, Department of Public Safety, Division of Alaska State Troopers…

Summary

The court reversed the dismissal of Basey's public-records action because the State did not establish that either asserted statutory exception applied. The litigation exception applies only when the requestor is involved in litigation involving a public agency, and the law-enforcement exception requires more than the existence of a pending criminal case. The court held that the State failed to make the required showing under either exception. No separate opinions were filed.
