State Records Committee Appeal Decision 24-63

BEFORE THE STATE RECORDS COMMITTEE OF THE STATE OF UTAH

WILLIAM CARLESS (on behalf of USA Today), Petitioner, v.

PROVO CITY POLICE, Respondent,

SCHEDULING ORDER

Case No. 24-63

The matter before us is William Carless’s “Request for Follow-Up Hearing Regarding Unjust Delays in Promised Production of Records” that was filed on August 2, 2024. Mr. Carless bases his request on representations made to him and this Committee that the Provo City Police Department anticipated that its investigation in the matter would be complete and the requested records would be available within a short time after our hearing. Since then, Provo City has continued to push back the anticipated deadline that it expects it can deliver the records. Based on this, and for good cause showing, we reopen this case to hear from the parties concerning this matter. The Committee’s executive secretary shall schedule this hearing for December 19th and inform the parties.  

It is so ordered.

Entered this 26 day of August 2024.
