Indiana Court of Appeals
William Groth v. Mike Pence, as Governor of the State of Indiana
49A04-1605-PL-1116
Civil plenary. Affirms the Marion Superior Court decision finding former Gov. Mike Pence’s response to William Groth’s Access to Public Records Act request for records related to his decision to join a Texas lawsuit against the President of the United States was proper under the Access to Public Records Act. Finds that Citizens Action Coalition of Indiana v. Koch, 51 N.E.3d 236 (Ind. 2016), does not apply to the request for public records directed to the governor. Also finds that the trial court did not violate Groth’s due process rights. Finally, affirms on the merits the governor’s decision to withhold the white paper from public disclosure and to partially redacted the invoices because the white paper contains legal theories in contemplation of litigation and that the governor’s redactions were within his discretion under APRA. Rejects Pence’s claim that executive privilege renders his response to APRA requests immune from judicial review. Chief Judge Nancy Vaidik concurs in part and dissents in part in separate opinion.
