RYAN MILLIRON v. MANOS ANTONAKAKIS
Court of Appeals Case No. A23A1163
The Honorable Supreme Court met pursuant to adjournment. The following order was passed:
The Supreme Court today granted the writ of certiorari in this case as Case No. S24G0198 .
This case will be assigned to the June oral argument calendar automatically under Supreme Court Rule 50 (1) (a). Oral argument is mandatory in granted certiorari cases.
This Court is particularly concerned with the following issue or issues:
(1) When a public employee also performs services for their agency as a private contractor, does the Open Records Act, OCGA § 50-18-70 (a), apply to records held by the employee relating to that service as a contractor?
(2) If so, can a request for such records be sent directly to the employee or must it instead be sent to the agency's designated open records officer? See OCGA § 50-18-70 (b) (1) (B) and (2).
Briefs should be submitted only on these points. See Supreme Court Rule 45.
All the Justices concur, except Bethel, J., who dissents.
