BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) — Attorney General Buddy Caldwell has asked a Baton Rouge judge to block access to records requested by a company whose $200 million Medicaid contract was canceled by the state.
In a court filing Wednesday, Caldwell’s staff told Judge Tim Kelley the records requests by Client Network Services Inc., or CNSI, should not be granted because a grand jury soon was to be impaneled to review evidence in an ongoing investigation involving the contract.
