Pursuant to the Colorado Open Records Act, C.R.S. § 24-72-200 et seq., I request records sufficient to show all invoices, billing statements, payment vouchers, purchase orders, and disbursements made by the District for legal services or reimbursements related to:
- Yong Gen “Craig” Kim v. Adams County School District 14 et al., U.S. Dist. Ct. Colo., No. 1:25-cv-02505-RMR-KAS;
- the April 2025 “Notice of Restricted Access” issued to Mr. Kim; and
- any related federal or state civil-rights claim involving District officials or Board members.
This includes, but is not limited to, invoices and payments involving Caplan & Earnest LLC, Joseph Salazar, or any other attorney, law firm, or insurer that provided defense or legal-consultation services in connection with these matters.
Date range: April 1, 2025 – October 24, 2025.
For each record, please include:
• invoice date and number
• vendor/payee name
• amount billed and amount paid
• matter name or accounting memo (narrative time entries may be redacted if privileged)
This request does not seek privileged communications. If any material is withheld or redacted, please produce a privilege log identifying each record withheld, the custodian, date, general subject, and the specific legal basis for nondisclosure.
To expedite your search, please include custodians and systems for Accounts Payable/Finance (GL or AP ledger/export), the Superintendent’s Office, the Board of Education, Legal/Risk Management, and any insurance/risk-pool contacts.
If locating or producing these records will exceed one hour, please provide an itemized cost estimate that lists each custodian and anticipated search time.
I prefer electronic delivery (PDF or CSV) by email.
Thank you for your prompt attention.
