State v. Oldenburg

Summary

The Idaho Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s denial of Oldenburg’s motion to seal his criminal file, holding that Idaho Code §67‑3004(10) does not independently grant lower courts the authority to seal court records and that such authority resides exclusively with the Supreme Court’s procedural rules, specifically I.C.A.R. 32(i). The Court reasoned that the legislative amendment violates the state constitution’s separation‑of‑powers doctrine.
