Ned,

I have been asked to respond to your 1/30/17 public records request directed
to Ruth Neely as Circuit Court Magistrate at her e-mail address as Municipal
Judge of the Town of Pinedale. As the request relates to her position as
Municipal Judge, all requested public records were provided with the Town of
Pinedale's response to your prior records request directed to the Town. And
as the request relates to her position as Circuit Court Magistrate, no
public records were found.

I note that the file of the matter pending before the Wyoming Supreme Court
involving Judge Neely and the same sex marriage issue is open and available
to the public.

I also note for your information that I performed the first same sex
marriage in Sublette County under my authority as District Court
Commissioner.

If I can be of further help, let me know.
