LAWSON v. SEQUOYAH COUNTY 911 TRUST AUTHORITY
2022 OK CIV APP 39
Case Number: 120533
Decided: 07/29/2022
Mandate Issued: 11/09/2022
DIVISION III

¶1 The controversy at issue in this case involves the policy of the Sequoyah County 911 Trust Authority to refer private individuals to the Court Clerk’s Office or to the on-line source found at www.odcr.com when warrant information has been requested. Although summary judgment was granted to the Defendants¹ on all of the claims for relief asserted below, the Appellant, James Lawson, D/B/A AAA Lawson Bail Bonds, LLC (“Lawson”), has only appealed the trial court’s entry of summary judgment in favor of the Defendants with respect to the declaratory judgment claim for relief and, specifically, whether the 911 Authority’s policy at issue here violates 51 O.S. § 24A.8, of the Open Records Act. We hold that summary judgment was erroneously granted to the Defendants on the declaratory judgment claim concerning the policy of the 911 Authority and, that, conversely, Lawson is entitled to summary judgment on that claim. Subject to the holding in this Opinion, the trial court’s Order of June 2, 2022, is affirmed in all other respects. Thus, the trial court’s order of June 2, 2022, is affirmed, in part, and reversed, in part.
