9     (d)(b)  A person who has custody of a public record who
10asserts that an exemption applies to a part of such record shall
11redact that portion of the record to which an exemption has been
12asserted and validly applies, and such person shall produce the
13remainder of such record for inspection and copying.
14     (e)(c)  If the person who has custody of a public record
15contends that all or part of the record is exempt from
16inspection and copying, he or she shall state the basis of the
17exemption that he or she contends is applicable to the record,
18including the statutory citation to an exemption created or
19afforded by statute.
20     (f)(d)  If requested by the person seeking to inspect or
21copy the record, the custodian of public records shall state in
22writing and with particularity the reasons for the conclusion
23that the record is exempt or confidential.
24     (g)(e)  In any civil action in which an exemption to this
25section is asserted, if the exemption is alleged to exist under
26or by virtue of s. 119.071(1)(d) or (f), (2)(d),(e), or (f), or
27(4)(c), the public record or part thereof in question shall be
28submitted to the court for an inspection in camera. If an
29exemption is alleged to exist under or by virtue of s.
30119.071(2)(c), an inspection in camera is discretionary with the
31court. If the court finds that the asserted exemption is not
32applicable, it shall order the public record or part thereof in
33question to be immediately produced for inspection or copying as
34requested by the person seeking such access.
35     (h)(f)  Even if an assertion is made by the custodian of
36public records that a requested record is not a public record
37subject to public inspection or copying under this subsection,
38the requested record shall, nevertheless, not be disposed of for
39a period of 30 days after the date on which a written request to
40inspect or copy the record was served on or otherwise made to
41the custodian of public records by the person seeking access to
42the record. If a civil action is instituted within the 30-day
43period to enforce the provisions of this section with respect to
44the requested record, the custodian of public records may not
45dispose of the record except by order of a court of competent
46jurisdiction after notice to all affected parties.
47     (i)(g)  The absence of a civil action instituted for the
48purpose stated in paragraph (g)(e) does not relieve the
