From: Muckrock Staff

Hello,

We understand that under Alabama's Open Records Act(§ 36-1 2-40, Ala. Code 1975), an out-of-state entity, does not have standing to inspect public records under the Law. Op. Att'y Gen. 30 (2018)

However, this request was submitted by Andre Natta, an Alabama citizen and resident. Mr. Natta has provided proof of residency in the form of a state ID. Mr. Natta has chosen to use MuckRock to manage his requests to this agency and we believe that he has the right to use a third party service (in this case MuckRock) to manage and track public records requests.

We ask that you kindly reconsider this rejection and provide the materials that he has requested.
