STATE OF LOUISIANA v. TERRANCE JAMES KELM
In Re: Terrance James Kelm, applying for supervisory writs, 22nd Judicial District Court, Parish of St. Tammany, No. 456903. BEFORE: McCLENDON, WELCH, AND HOLDRIDGE, JJ.
WRIT DENIED. A person who desires to examine public records must make the request to the custodian of the records. See La. R.S. 44:31 & 44:32. The district court is not the custodian of the district attorney's file. Therefore, the district court did not err by denying the motion to compel wherein relator requests documents that may be in the district attorney's file.
