The records responsive to this request are likely available in a database,
or in some query-able

format. If your department or agency does not have direct access to the
records, please raise to

the respective department that can run queries directly (eg, through SQL).

Should your agency not have all of the requested records within a single
record or document,

please provide me the relevant documents that do, even if that requires
more than one class of

document. Should some of the records be unavailable, please let me know
ahead of time so that

we can narrow the request accordingly.

As the records responsive to this request are imperative for understanding
how search warrants are executed, I ask that the public interest of these
records be evaluated to the extent that the public's interest outweighs
this request's burden. To add, this request is being sent to the largest
city of every state and will be collated together to create a comprehensive
map of search warrants throughout the US. As such, the records are not only
important for understanding search warrants at a local level, but also at a
national and state-wide level.

Please ensure that provided documents comply with Section 508, as these
records will be shared with members of the public who are covered under the
ADA. This guide should be helpful:
https://www.hhs.gov/web/section-508/making-files-accessible/checklist/pdf/index.html

If this request was sent to the wrong department or agency, please let me
know so that I can send to the correct place.

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

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform
me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer
the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or
CD-ROM if not.”

*FIFTH JUDICIAL DISTRICT RESPONSE*: It is the policy of the Fifth Judicial
District Court to be fully responsive to requests for public records
available under the Inspection of Public Records Act, NMSA 1978, § 14-2-1
et seq. ("IPRA"). The Inspection of Public Records Act provides the public
with the right to access government records. IPRA requires government
agencies to allow the inspection of existing records. Your request appears
to be seeking bulk data relating to search warrants. The New Mexico IPRA
does not impose a duty on state agencies to create records that do not
already exist.

The Fifth Judicial District Court uses the Odyssey electronic case
management system for docketing and case management purposes. Please be
advised that the Odyssey Case Management system is not utilized to capture
and report the specific data you requested regarding search warrants. The
Court does not maintain or run reports that would routinely gather and
produce the data you requested. The provisions of IPRA do not require a
governmental body to create documents, lists, spreadsheets, statistics or
other reports in order to respond to a records request. See NMSA 1978,
§14-2-8(B) (Nothing in the Inspection of Public Records Act shall be
construed to require a public body to create a public record.) The data
points you have requested would need to be manually extracted out of tens
of thousands of pages of records, and compiled into reports that currently
do not exist. As noted above, IPRA does not require an agency to create a
report that does not exist.

The search warrant records are available for inspection during regular
business hours at each individual court facility.

District Court search warrant documents are available for the years 2012
through present. Magistrate Court search warrant documents are available
for 2017 (limited) and 2018 to present.

Please see the list below for courts in the 5th Judicial District,
addresses, hours of operation, and copy fees. Once the records have been
identified, if you wish to purchase copies, the clerk will review the
documents and ensure they do not fall within the “Limitations on public
access” identified in NMRA 5-123 (C). If records or portions of records
fall within the limitations on public access, the information will be
redacted before the document can be obtained.

The attached Inspection of Public Records Act request (IPRA) was forwarded to us on December 5, 2019 and was received by our office yesterday, December 10, 2019. After review of the request I have the following responses:

1). The McKinley County Sheriff's Office does not have a database to query search warrants. Search warrants are filed with the original case file and can only be looked up by known cases.
2). To the best of our knowledge the McKinley County Sheriff's Office has not filed any search warrants in the 11th Judicial District Court (Farmington NM) from 2012 to present.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
