ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) \u2014 Sherrone Moore\u2019s<\/a> former executive assistant is suing the University of Michigan<\/a>, claiming the school violated the Freedom of Information Act by denying requests made on her behalf after the football coach was fired for having an inappropriate relationship with her.<\/p>\n

Paige Shiver and her attorneys filed a lawsuit on Wednesday in a Washtenaw County court seeking requested records and punitive damages.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was important for our client to file this initial FOIA lawsuit to ensure the truth and facts come out,\u201d attorney Andrew M. Stroth said.<\/p>\n

School spokesman Paul Corliss declined comment.<\/p>\n

Moore was fired<\/a> in December after leading the Wolverines for two seasons following Jim Harbaugh\u2019s move<\/a> to the NFL\u2019s Los Angeles Chargers.<\/p>\n

He was accused of confronting Shiver, with whom he had been having an affair, and blaming her for his firing. Authorities said she had previously ended the affair and spoken to school officials about it.<\/p>\n

Moore pleaded no contest to trespassing and malicious use of a telecom device and was placed on probation in April for 18 months.<\/p>\n

Shiver did not attend the hearing and released a statement saying the sentence \u201cdoes not reflect the harm done to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The plea deal came after attorney Ellen Michaels planned to aggressively challenge<\/a> how police gathered and shared information to get an arrest warrant. She argued that police didn\u2019t disclose that Moore and Shiver had a working relationship that involved calls and text messages.<\/p>\n

\"Texas<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Attorney Julie Murphy sent the university a series of FOIA requests, including the investigative file related to Moore\u2019s firing, from February to June and each was denied by the school.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis public university paid Jenner & Block $12 million to investigate the Sherrone Moore scandal and the abuse, Title IX and Title VII violations within the athletic department and Schembechler Hall, yet now refuses to release the investigation\u2019s findings,\u201d Stroth said.<\/p>\n
