PHOENIX - Requests under Arizona's public records law can be made in advance of the records being created, an appellate court ruled Thursday in a case involving a dispute between a suburban newspaper and a county sheriff's office.

The unanimous ruling by a three-judge state Court of Appeals panel also said that while the twice-weekly West Valley View is entitled to receive the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office's news releases under the records law, the office doesn't have to provide them by e-mail.

The office in 2005 removed the View from its e-mail distribution list for news releases, with the public information officer expressing displeasure that the View hadn't covered story ideas and releases provided by the office.
