CAL., LOS ANGELES): FIRE FILED A LAWSUIT ALLEGING THAT BY UNREASONABLY DELAYING THE RELEASE OF REQUESTED RECORDS, UCLA VIOLATED THE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC RECORDS ACT. FIRE HAD REQUESTED RECORDS RELATED TO A SPEAKING APPEARANCE ON UCLA'S CAMPUS BY SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY STEVEN MNUCHIN. AFTER MORE THAN A YEAR OF LITIGATION, FIRE ACCEPTED AN OFFER OF JUDGMENT IN ITS FAVOR WITH UCLA ADMITTING TO VIOLATING THE ACT AND AGREEING TO PAY FIRE'S ATTORNEYS' FEES. THIS SUIT FURTHERED FIRE'S INTERESTS AS A PUBLIC-INTEREST WATCHDOG ORGANIZATION THAT VIGOROUSLY PURSUES PUBLIC RECORDS, MADE ACCESSIBLE BY STATE STATUTE, AS A MEANS OF HOLDING PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS.BROWN, ET AL. V. JONES COUNTY JUNIOR COLLEGE, ET AL., CIVIL ACTION NO. 2:19-CV-127 (S.D. MISS.): FIRE REPRESENTED COLLEGE STUDENT MIKE BROWN AND A STUDENT ORGANIZATION RAISING FIRST AMENDMENT CLAIMS AGAINST JONES COUNTY JUNIOR COLLEGE, SEVERAL ADMINISTRATORS, AND THE CHIEF OF CAMPUS POLICE.
