Pursuant to the Kansas Open Records Act (K.S.A. 45-215), I hereby request the following records:

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

Mr. Spies: I am in receipt of your email and request. Please be advised, we are unable to fulfill your request within the time frame established under K.S.A. 45-218 (d). We will require an additional ten (10) business days from the date of this email in order to research your request. At that time, we will notify you of the results and fees, if any, which need to be pre-paid prior to preparation.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.

That's fine, thank you.

Mr. Spies:
Pursuant to your email dated April 29, 2017, you asked for a list of all "Stand Your Ground" motions filed in the Third District Court since 2006. Your request did not specify a particular timeframe or case associated with this list. Because the list was not more clearly identified, we must deny your Kansas Open Records Act (KORA) request on the basis of K.S.A. 45-221(a)(1) which allows the Kansas Supreme Court to establish rules regarding exemptions to the disclosure of court records under KORA. Kansas Supreme Court Rule 196 and Administrative Order 189 require us to deny any KORA requests that require us to compile information or respond to a bulk request. Your request clearly falls within these exemptions as presently written.
It should be noted, the Court is not the custodian of records for the District Attorney's office. I do not know whether they compile the specific information you seek. Please feel free to contact them regarding your inquiry. They can be reached at 785-251-4330 or sncoda@snco.us<mailto:sncoda@snco.us>.
Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
Respectfully,
Charles Hydovitz
District Court Administrator
