What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Michigan
I requested from a Probate Judge in writing a copy of the transcript or recording of a hearing that I was the Petitioner of.
The Judge has refused stating, "the judiciary is not subject to the Freedom of Information Act. Additionally, the Mental Health Code provides for a great deal of confidentiality in these types of matters and you do not fit into any of the exceptions."
I was the petitioner, and I also was present at the Court Hearing.
Can the Judge do this?
Thank-you for any information.
