      Appellate court to hear e-mail case

      The Arizona Court of Appeals is scheduled to hear arguments next week 
      about the public release of e-mails from retired Pinal County Manager Stan 
      Griffis' county computer.

      Griffis' attorneys are appealing a March ruling by Judge Robert Duber II 
      of Gila County Superior Court, who ordered the e-mails be released to the 
      public with some personal information redacted.

      The case stems from a request by The Arizona Republic for copies of 
      Griffis' incoming and outgoing e-mails from October through December under 
      the Arizona Public Records Law. 

      Attorneys for Griffis, who retired from his county manager position in 
      January, have argued that a portion of Griffis' e-mails were of "a 
      personal nature," including e-mails about a personal vacation and online 
      purchases.

      The case is scheduled for a 3 p.m. oral argument hearing Tuesday in 
Tucson.
