About this file
This document is a legal notice from Watkins & Eager PLLC regarding a Public Records Act Request (PRR) involving Maslow's Campus Communities, LLC and the University of Mississippi, relating to Request for Proposal Number 784. The notice indicates that Maslow's received a public records request from James Sabatier and is seeking a protective order to prevent the release of certain confidential information.
The confidential information Maslow's seeks to protect includes trade secrets, confidential financial information, pricing data, and proprietary business plans and strategies. The company argues that these materials are exempt from the Mississippi Public Records Act's presumption of accessibility under Miss. Code Ann. § 25-61-9(1). Accordingly, Maslow's intends to file a petition for a protective order with the Chancery Court of Lafayette County, Mississippi, to prevent the disclosure of these sensitive documents and has requested that the University post this notice on the Mississippi procurement portal.

Re: Notice of and Reasons for Filing Petition for Protective Order:
All:
Maslow’s Campus Communities, LLC ("Maslow’s") received notice from University of
Mississippi (“University”) that a Public Records Act Request ("PRR") was submitted by James
Sabatier (referred to herein as "Requesting Party") in connection with the University’s Request for Proposal Number 784 ("RFP").
After reviewing the PRR and the notice received from the University that identified responsive information to the Requesting Party’s PRR, Maslow’s has determined that the information contains trade secrets, confidential and proprietary commercial information, and confidential and proprietary information that is protected by the Mississippi Public Records Act.
See Miss. Code Ann. § 25-61-9(1). Examples of this information include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Confidential financial information
• Confidential pricing data
• Confidential business plans and strategies
This information is exempt from the Mississippi Public Records Act's presumption of accessibility and therefore may not be disclosed. See Miss. Code §§ 25-61-9(1), 79-23-1.
Accordingly, pursuant to Miss. Code Ann. § 25-61-9 (7), Maslow’s hereby gives notice to the Requesting Party and to the University that Maslow’s intends to seek a protective order from the Chancery Court of Lafayette County, Mississippi to prevent the release of its information protected by the Mississippi Public Records Act.
Maslow’s respectfully requests that the University, upon receipt of this notice, post it on the Mississippi procurement portal in accordance with Miss. Code Ann. § 25-61-9.
Best regards, /s/ Katie B. Lyons
