The appellate court is far from ruling on the merits of the city’s arguments that the IG's subpoenas are equivalent to civilians’ records requests under the Maryland Public Information Act and that the Baltimore City Law Department must review everything for potential violations of attorney-client privilege or privacy rules before handing it over to the office. Nor has the court ruled on the inspector general’s argument of being a “co-custodian” of all city records. The city has not yet filed an opening appeal brief, and the court has not yet set a schedule for filings and arguments.
