RE: Request for Transcript/Events Leading up to May 9, 2006

First, I apologize for making this longer than necessary, but felt it important enough to make a public record of the events leading up to this point.

On May 1, 2006, I sent a letter that was also directed to Court Reporter/Court Reporting Services. Since Jacqueline Flowers was the individual that the Records Department referred me to earlier that day regarding obtaining an audio cd of the events on April 28, 2006.

On May 4^th, 2006 a second letter was sent out after no response was received from the Office of Judge G. Patrick Hillary on the previous issues and reiterating that no response had been received. No response was received.

On May 8^th, 2006 I finally received a letter in the mail that indicated that I should fax to the same number my request with only your name specifically on it. I found this to be quite disturbing because who in there right mind sends a letter like that saying “fax it to the same number” instead of just directing the copies to “Court Reporter/Court Reporting Services.”

It is also important to note that the letter I received on May 8^th, 2006 was postmarked May 5^th, 2006 showing that the letter was backdated to May 2^nd, 2006 and sent out AFTER my second request had already been faxed. This

This is a delay tactic that is a common occurrence at Kent County and is unacceptable. There is perfidy in the air, especially if suddenly after one week's time of deliberate delay the tapes are suddenly missing or destroyed.

Please respond to the attached correspondence as early as possible. Thank you.

Very Truly Yours,
