Opinion by Judge ROY.

The Denver Post (the Post) appeals from the district court's order in favor of the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office (JCSO) finding that certain writings and tape recordings seized by law enforcement officers pursuant to search warrants are not "criminal justice records" and, therefore, are not subject to the Colorado Criminal Justice Records Act, § 24-72-301, et seq., C.R.S.2003 (CCJRA). We remand for further proceedings.
