Good afternoon, Cliff:
These records are exempt from production under the public records law pursuant to Florida Statute Section 119.071 (1)(d)1 which provides:
A public record that was prepared by an agency attorney (including an attorney employed or retained by the agency or employed or retained by another public officer or agency to protect or represent the interests of the agency having custody of the record) or prepared at the attorney’s express direction, that reflects a mental impression, conclusion, litigation strategy, or legal theory of the attorney or the agency, and that was prepared exclusively for civil or criminal litigation or for adversarial administrative proceedings, or that was prepared in anticipation of imminent civil or criminal litigation or imminent adversarial administrative proceedings, is exempt from s. 119.07(1) and s. 24(a), Art. I of the State Constitution until the conclusion of the litigation or adversarial administrative proceedings.
Our top priority is the health, safety and welfare of our student-athletes, and we provide superb medical care at UCF. As we move forward, our goal remains the same: to operate a first-class football program, on and off the field, that makes our students, university family and Central Florida community proud.
Best wishes,
Grant
