Lisa CAMPBELL v. TOWN OF MACHIAS, et al.

Supreme Judicial Court of Maine.

Decided July 19, 1995.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Ralph A. Dyer (orally), Law Offices of Ralph A. Dyer, P.A., Portland, for plaintiff.

William B. Talbot (orally), Carletta M. Bassano, Talbot & Talbot, Machias, for defendant.

Before WATHEN, C.J., and ROBERTS, GLASSMAN, CLIFFORD, RUDMAN, DANA and LIPEZ, JJ.


LIPEZ, Justice.

Lisa Campbell appeals from the judgment entered in the Superior Court (Washington County, Alexander, J.) denying her access to documents in the possession of the Machias Police Department. She contends that the department was obliged to grant her access to the documents under Maine's Freedom of Access Act, 1 M.R.S.A. §§ 401-410 (1989 & Supp.1994) [hereinafter "Act"]. We disagree, and accordingly affirm the judgment.
