Kris Kobach Says No!

Kris Kobach filed a response to my lawsuit

He filed it last Friday, the 21st. But if it wasn't for a local reporter email me asking for a comment on it and attaching a copy earlier this week, I wouldn't have known. I have yet to receive an official copy.
Like Ms. Lehman, Kobach states that it is forbidden by Kansas law to release those record while neglecting to mention the caveat unless so ordered by a judge. This law is why I have to sue to get permission from a judge. I don't see it as a reason for him to object to a judge granting me that permission. Seems to me that it would be perfectly legal for him to respond with 'Sure, Judge, I see no problem with allowing access for this person for this purpose" with whatever caveats he feels are necessary to secure the integrity of the records.

I'm anxious to here from any legal experts on my mailing list.

What is the next step for me to take?
Can I schedule a hearing to ask a judge to grant me permission?
Do I need to file a response to their response?

Thanks to everyone for you interest and support.

Beth
