*265Plaintiff, MLive Media Group, doing business as Grand Rapids Press, sent defendant, the *266city of Grand Rapids (the City), two requests under Michigan's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), MCL 15.231 et seq ., seeking recordings, copies of recordings, and transcripts of phone calls made by Grand Rapids police officers to a Grand Rapids police lieutenant regarding the citation of a former Kent County Assistant Prosecutor. The City denied MLive's FOIA requests. MLive filed suit, seeking production of the records, and moved for summary disposition pursuant to MCR 2.116(C)(10). The trial court denied MLive's motion and dismissed the *285case without prejudice. MLive appeals. We reverse and remand.
I. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND
A man drove the wrong way down a one-way street and hit a parked car. Grand Rapids Police Officer Adam Ickes and Grand Rapids Police Sergeant Thomas Warwick responded to the accident. Officer Ickes called Grand Rapids Police Lieutenant Matthew Janiskee at a recorded police department telephone line and informed Lieutenant Janiskee that the driver of the vehicle was a "hammered" Kent County assistant prosecutor. Lieutenant Janiskee told Officer Ickes to hang up and call back on a different department line, (616) 456-3407, labeled "Non-Recorded Line 3407." Officer Ickes then placed three calls to Lieutenant Janiskee on Line 3407. Sergeant Warwick placed two calls to Lieutenant Janiskee on Line 3407. Ultimately, Officer Ickes cited the assistant prosecutor for driving the wrong way down a one-way street, and Sergeant Warwick drove the assistant prosecutor home.
The police department then conducted an internal investigation. The City states that during the investigation it discovered that the phone calls to Line 3407 had been recorded.
*267The City filed a declaratory action in the United States District Court for the Western District of Michigan on February 17, 2017, seeking a determination of its rights and obligations to use and disclose the Line 3407 recordings. The City sought to use the recordings as evidence in officer disciplinary actions and legal proceedings. In the federal action, the officers asserted that use of the recordings would violate the federal wiretapping act, 18 USC 2510 et seq ., and Michigan's eavesdropping statutes, MCL 750.539a et seq . The City denied violating the statutes. The City explained that it had received FOIA requests for the Line 3407 recordings. The City alleged that if the recordings were obtained in violation of the statutes, disclosure of the recordings would also violate the statutes.
The two FOIA requests received by the City from MLive sought recordings, copies of recordings, and transcripts of the Line 3407 calls. The City denied both requests, asserting that its "ability to release these records is the subject matter of the pending [federal] litigation...."
MLive filed a complaint in the trial court, seeking an order to compel disclosure of the requested items and a declaration that the City had violated FOIA in that the City had failed to cite a FOIA exemption in support of its denial and that no such exemption exists. MLive also moved for summary disposition. In response, the City reiterated its argument that it did not believe that complying with MLive's FOIA request would violate the federal wiretapping act or Michigan's eavesdropping statutes. Nonetheless, it argued that it could invoke the MCL 15.243(1)(d) FOIA exemption because the federal court had not yet determined whether complying with the FOIA request would violate the federal wiretapping act or Michigan's eavesdropping *268statutes. The trial court denied MLive's motion for summary disposition and dismissed the case without prejudice, citing the doctrine of comity.
II. JURISDICTION
The City argues that MLive could not appeal by right because it is not appealing a final order. We disagree.
MCR 7.202(6)(a)(i) defines a final order in a civil case as "the first judgment or order that disposes of all the claims and adjudicates the rights and liabilities of all *286the parties...." Parties cannot create a final order by stipulating the dismissal of remaining claims without prejudice after a trial court enters an order denying a motion for summary disposition addressing only some of the parties' claims. See Detroit v. Michigan , 262 Mich.App. 542, 545, 686 N.W.2d 514 (2004).
In this case, the trial court entered an order denying MLive's motion for summary disposition and dismissing MLive's only claim without prejudice after reviewing both parties' opposing arguments. Therefore, the order is final, MCR 7.202(6)(a)(i), and Detroit is distinguishable on the facts.
III. STANDARDS OF REVIEW
We review de novo whether the trial court properly interpreted and applied FOIA, including "whether a public record is exempt under FOIA" "when the facts are undisputed and reasonable minds could not differ ...." Rataj v. City of Romulus , 306 Mich.App. 735, 747-748, 858 N.W.2d 116 (2014). When interpreting a statute, we aim to determine the Legislature's intent by first examining the statute's plain language. Fellows v. Mich. Comm for the Blind , 305 Mich.App. 289, 297, 854 N.W.2d 482 (2014). If a statute is unambiguous, we enforce it as written. Id .
*269We review for an abuse of discretion a trial court's decision to abstain from a ruling "in favor of an alternative, foreign forum." Hare v. Starr Commonwealth Corp. , 291 Mich.App. 206, 214-215, 813 N.W.2d 752 (2011). "A trial court abuses its discretion when its decision falls outside the range of principled outcomes." ESPN, Inc. v. Mich. State Univ. , 311 Mich.App. 662, 664, 876 N.W.2d 593 (2015).
A motion for summary disposition pursuant to MCR 2.116(C)(10) tests the factual sufficiency of a complaint. Maiden v. Rozwood , 461 Mich. 109, 120, 597 N.W.2d 817 (1999). The moving party must specify issues for which there are no genuine issues of material fact and support the motion. MCR 2.116(G)(4). The nonmoving party then has the burden to provide evidence of a genuine issue. Id . The trial court reviews the record in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party. Maiden , 461 Mich. at 120, 597 N.W.2d 817. A trial court must grant the motion if it finds "no genuine issue as to any material fact" and determines that "the moving party is entitled to judgment or partial judgment as a matter of law." MCR 2.116(C)(10). We review de novo a trial court's denial of a motion for summary disposition. See Maiden , 461 Mich. at 118, 597 N.W.2d 817.
IV. ANALYSIS
MLive argues that the trial court erred by denying its motion for summary disposition. We agree.
A. FOIA EXEMPTION
The trial court erred to the extent that it found that the City met its burden to prove that a FOIA exemption applied.
*270FOIA proclaims that "[i]t is the public policy of this state that all persons ... are entitled to full and complete information regarding the affairs of government and the official acts of those who represent them as public officials and public employees ...." MCL 15.231(2). Further, "[t]he people shall be informed so that they may fully participate in the democratic process." Id . In keeping with this policy, FOIA provides persons a right to inspect, copy, or receive copies of a requested public record of a public body upon providing a public body's FOIA coordinator with a written request that describes a public record sufficiently to enable the public body to find the public record, except as expressly *287provided in MCL 15.243. MCL 15.233(1).
MCL 15.243(1) states:
A public body may exempt from disclosure as a public record under this act ...
* * *
(d) Records or information specifically described and exempted from disclosure by statute."1
When a public body invokes this exception, it is necessary to examine the statute under which the public body claims disclosure is prohibited. See Detroit News, Inc. v. Policemen & Firemen Retirement Sys. of the City of Detroit , 252 Mich.App. 59, 72-75, 651 N.W.2d 127 (2002). For example, the federal wiretapping act prohibits the intentional interception and disclosure of an oral or wire communication. 18 USC 2511(1)(a) and (c).
*271Therefore, if the federal act prohibits disclosure of a communication, the communication would be exempt from disclosure under MCL 15.243(1)(d).
FOIA requires the public body receiving a FOIA request to interpret FOIA and decide whether to honor the request. See MCL 15.235. A FOIA request must be sent directly to the public body, specifically its FOIA coordinator. MCL 15.235(1). FOIA requires the public body to decide whether to grant or deny the request in whole or in part within five business days of receipt. MCL 15.235(2). Alternatively, the public body can seek a 10-business-day extension to make a decision. MCL 15.235(2)(d). If the public body denies any portion of the request because it determined that the content is exempt from disclosure, it must explain in writing the basis for its denial under FOIA or another statute. MCL 15.235(5)(a).
A court only becomes involved in a FOIA request if a public body denies the request and the requester appeals. MCL 15.240(1)(b). Specifically, the person requesting the public record may "[c]ommence a civil action in the circuit court ... to compel the public body's disclosure of the public records...." MCL 15.240(1)(b). The public body has the burden to "sustain its denial." MCL 15.240(4). The trial court reviews the denial de novo, id ., and construes FOIA exemptions narrowly, see Detroit News, Inc. , 252 Mich.App. at 72, 651 N.W.2d 127.
The City failed to meet its burden to prove that a FOIA exemption applied. The City argues that it properly invoked the MCL 15.243(1)(d) exemption to deny MLive's FOIA requests because the federal wiretapping act prohibit the intentional interception and disclosure of an oral or wire communication, and "the jurisdiction of a federal district court has already been invoked to make *272th[e] factual determination[ ] ... of whether" the federal wiretapping act applies. But the City never argued when denying MLive's FOIA request, during the trial court proceedings, or on appeal, that it actually violated the federal wiretapping act. Rather, it made the opposite argument: it accidentally or inadvertently recorded the Line 3407 phone calls and then refused to disclose the recordings to MLive. The federal wiretapping act does not prohibit the inadvertent interception or disclosure of communications. See 18 USC 2511(1) ; Thompson v. Dulaney , 970 F.2d 744, 748 (C.A. 10, 1992).2 Stated differently, the City needed *288to argue that disclosure would violate the federal wiretapping act in order to invoke the MCL 15.243(1)(d) FOIA exemption and to deny MLive's FOIA requests. The City never made this argument.
Any argument by the City that it properly invoked the MCL 15.243(1)(d) exemption because Michigan's eavesdropping statutes prohibit disclosure of the recordings similarly fails. Michigan's eavesdropping statutes prohibit the "willful[ ]" use of a device to eavesdrop on a private conversation without all parties' consent, MCL 750.539c, and "us[ing]" or "divulg[ing]" information that a person "knows or reasonably should know was obtained" through eavesdropping, MCL 750.539e. Accordingly, the City needed to argue that disclosure would violate an eavesdropping statute to invoke the MCL 15.243(1)(d) FOIA exemption. But the City never made this argument. Instead, it argued that it accidentally recorded the phone calls.
Further, FOIA requires the City to determine whether a FOIA exemption exists. See MCL 15.235(2). The City cited no FOIA provision that allows it to pass *273this decision to a federal court. Therefore, the City failed to meet its burden to prove that a FOIA exemption applied.
B. COMITY
The trial court abused its discretion by determining that comity prevented it from ruling on MLive's FOIA complaint.
The principle of judicial comity generally states that foreign courts can afford each other's judgment mutual respect and recognition. See Gaudreau v. Kelly , 298 Mich.App. 148, 152, 826 N.W.2d 164 (2012). Accordingly, "principles of comity require" us "to defer to [a] federal court ruling" when "a federal district court [is] the equivalent of a state circuit court." Bouwman v. Dep't of Social Servs. , 144 Mich. App. 744, 748-749, 375 N.W.2d 806 (1985).3 When a court relies on the principle of comity to abstain from ruling on an issue in favor of a foreign ruling, it is also "invoking a doctrine akin to forum non conveniens," which gives a court discretion "to decline jurisdiction when convenience of parties and ends of justice would be better served if action were brought and tried in another forum." Hare , 291 Mich.App. at 223-224, 813 N.W.2d 752 (quotation marks and citations omitted).4
The trial court in this case improperly reframed the issue before it to invoke the doctrine of comity. As explained earlier, the issue before the trial court was whether the City met its burden to show that the narrowly construed MCL 15.243(1)(d) FOIA exemption *274supported its denial of MLive's FOIA requests. See MCL 15.235(2) and (5)(a) ; MCL 15.240(4) ; Detroit News, Inc. , 252 Mich.App. at 72, 651 N.W.2d 127. As already explained in this opinion, the City failed to meet the burden. The trial court did not need to consider "whether or not the recordings in this case were intentional" and did not need to defer to the federal court's "factual determination" regarding this separate issue. The City did not argue in this case or in the federal case that it had intentionally recorded Line 3407, which could amount to violations of the federal wiretapping act *289and Michigan's eavesdropping statutes. Because it never raised the argument, the MCL 15.243(1)(d) exemption does not apply, and the City necessarily failed to meet its burden to show that a narrowly construed FOIA exemption supported its denial of MLive's FOIA requests.5 Therefore, the trial court's decision to invoke the doctrine of comity was outside the range of principled outcomes, and the trial court erred by denying MLive's motion for summary disposition.
V. CONCLUSION AND RELIEF
Because the trial court erred by denying MLive's motion for summary disposition, we remand for entry of judgment in MLive's favor. On remand, the trial court must order the City "to cease withholding or to *275produce" the Line 3407 recordings. MCL 15.240(4). Accordingly, MLive prevailed because the suit "had a substantial causative effect on" and "was necessary to" "the delivery of or access to" the recordings. See Wilson v. Eaton Rapids , 196 Mich.App. 671, 673, 493 N.W.2d 433 (1992). Without the suit, the City would not grant MLive's FOIA request at this time. Because MLive prevailed, the trial court must award MLive reasonable attorney fees, costs, and disbursements. MCL 15.240(6) ; See also Rataj , 306 Mich.App. at 757, 858 N.W.2d 116. Additionally, the trial court must "determine whether [MLive] is entitled to punitive damages under MCL 15.240(7)." Rataj , 306 Mich.App. at 757, 858 N.W.2d 116.
We reverse and remand. We do not retain jurisdiction. We give our judgment immediate effect. MCR 7.215(F)(2).
