Starting April 20, 2026, the Office of Open Records (OOR) will no longer accept the filing of any appeals via email. Any appeals filed electronically with the OOR must be submitted through the OOR’s online appeal portal form. Appeals and any other documents emailed to the OOR, except for in camera records, will not be docketed or added to an existing appeal. Except for the submission of records for in camera review, all electronic filings and communications related to appeals must be made exclusively through the E-File Appeal Portal.  Please note that hardcopy paper filings may still be filed via U.S. mail.
