Supreme Court of Colorado

In Re the People of the State of Colorado v. Adetayo Sotade.

June 9, 20252025 CO 38

Summary

The court held that a Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act show-cause application must be brought in the district court for the district where the requested records are located. Because the statute specifically governs the procedure and venue, the Douglas County court could not rely on ancillary jurisdiction to hear an application concerning records located in Jefferson County. The court therefore made the order to show cause absolute and remanded for further proceedings.
