State ex rel. Mobley v. Banks

Summary

The court granted mandamus relief requiring production of the authorization-for-crisis-precaution form because the director failed to establish that it was generated and maintained in the process of medical treatment. It denied relief for the requested emails and mental-health protocol because the custodian timely offered to provide them upon advance payment of copying costs, and denied relief for the certificate of disposal because Mobley failed to prove that it existed. The court also denied statutory damages because the asserted medical-record exemption was reasonable and furthered the policy protecting sensitive inmate medical information.
