DETROIT (AP) - Detroit City Council is asking the state Supreme Court to refuse a request by Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick to stop the release of documents related to a whistle-blowers' lawsuit settlement.
The council's request was filed Tuesday.
Kilpatrick and city lawyers claim the documents are part of mediation during the $8.4 million settlement of last summer's suit by two former officers.
The documents also are related to references to intimate and sexually explicit text messages involving Kilpatrick and his top aide.
A lower court ruled this month to release the documents. The city appealed to the state Appeals Court, which upheld the lower court's decision.
The city filed its latest appeal Friday with the state Supreme Court. (News - Politics) Views:
