    Mr. Gillespie,

    In the second to last paragraph of your first attachment, you make references to SC14-1637,

    and appear to be making requests regarding that case. Im unsure if you intend your email

    to serve as an official request, so I wanted to explain that any requests related to SC14-1637

    must be made through a proper filing. There are three ways to file on a case: 1) By carrier

    delivery; 2) by hand delivery; and/or 3) by filing through the E-Filing Portal.

    cannot accept case related filings via email. You may register for an account at this website:

    RE: Access to public records, Article I, Section 24, of the Florida Constitution

    Public records request pursuant to Rule 2.420, Public Access to Judicial Branch

    Records, Fla. R. Jud. Admin; and Chapter 119 et seq. of the Florida Statutes.

    Dear Ms. Gavagni:

    Thank your for your enclosed letter of June 30, 2014, which states in essence,

    The Florida Board of Bar Examiners received your letter dated June 25, 2014, requesting

    the Oaths of Attorney for a list of members of The Florida Bar. The board does not havethe information you are requesting. Once the person's Oath of Attorney has been

    processed, they are discarded. The date the oath was executed is reflected on The Florida

    Bar website on the page for each individual attorney.

    The Florida Board of Bar Examiners does not correspond by email.

    A learned person who read your response opined that the Oath of Admission, or Oath of

    Attorney (are those the same?) is actually part of the Bar Application, and thus not destroyed.

    (do discarded and destroyed have the same meaning as used in your June 30, 2014 letter?).

    Enclosed please find The Florida Bar directory page for John William Gardner. I cannot seewhere The date the oath was executed is reflected. More problematic may be the fact that

    Once the person's Oath of Attorney has been processed, they are discarded. Therefore, there is

    no objective evidence that any Florida lawyer actually took the Oath of Admission.

    Provide a record of the Bar Application for the following members of The Florida Bar. If there

    are no responsive records, provide a record showing where the records may be found. Or you can

    tell me where the records are kept, or who has custody of the Bar Application records.

    RE: Records request to the Office of the State Courts Administrator

    Dear Mr. David:

    The Disability Discrimination Complaint of Neil J. Gillespie submitted December 10, 2013 to

    the Florida Commission on Human Relations, FCHR No. 201400117, named the following

    OSCA employees: (Debbie Howells was inadvertently omitted from the complaint).

    Elisabeth Goodner, State Court Adminstrator

    Laura Rush, General Counsel, Office of State Court Adminstrator

    Provide records pertaining to FCHR No. 201400117 and Ms. Goodner.

    Provide records pertaining to FCHR No. 201400117 and Ms. Rush.

    Provide records pertaining to FCHR No. 201400117 and any matter whatsoever.

    The Thirteenth Judicial Circuit Florida provided an un-notarized loyalty oath for Gonzalo B.

    Casares, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Coordinator, see attached. I dont know if

    Mr. Casares still works for the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit, but if he does, his loyalty oath is

    defective. Is that a compliance matter to remedy for OSCA or the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit?

    Likewise, the attached loyalty oath for Sandra Burge is not notarized, and lacks a space for a

    notary. Is that a matter for OSCA? Ms. Burge allegedly resigned from her job with the Court.

    Produce records showing any consequence for Laura Rush not having a notarized loyalty oath.

    Mr. David, I do not show a response from you to my request for disability accommodation

    August 11, 2014, see attached, just the two page letter, highlighted. I want a response, Sir.

    BTW, you can read about my reading disability on the ABA Journal Law News Now at the link.

    RE: Cost of records; your letter July 30, 2014; WFTV, Inc. v. Wilken, 675 So. 2d 674,676 (Fla. Dist. Ct. App. 1996) (citingRoesch v. State, supra).

    Dear Mr. David:

    Thank you for your letter of July 30, 2014. You wrote, The Florida courts have held that

    "charging a fee for copying judicial records does not interfere with [the requester's]constitutionally protected right to access." WFTV, Inc. v. Wilken, 675 So. 2d 674, 676 (Fla. Dist.Ct. App. 1996) (citingRoesch v. State, supra).

    Okay, fine. If I agree to pay a fee for records, I object to the amount charged as unreasonable.Footnote 1 in WFTV, Inc. v. Wilken, We do not address appellants' contention that the charge of$1.00 per page is unreasonable because this point was not raised in the trial court. The case wassubmitted to the trial court on a set of stipulated facts. A copy of the case is enclosed.

    You wrote, if you want to select to receive a portion of the records you requested, you may payonly the charges for that portion on the invoice. We could provide the selected records to you,

    and you would incur a much lower cost. Okay fine, show me how to incur a much lower cost.Please include the amount charged for the records.

    WFTV, Inc. v. Wilken,is an old case from a technology standpoint. In 1996 few ordinary peoplehad a computer with a PDF program, and sufficient Internet service to get records electronically.I do not require paper copies of records, electronic PDF records are fine. You may provide PDFrecords at little or no cost. I request disability accommodation shown on OSCAs website.

    http://www.flcourts.org/administration-funding/court-administration/accessibility-statement.stml

    Section 508 now establishes requirements for electronic and information technology

    developed, maintained, procured, or used by the Federal government. Section 508requires Federal electronic and information technology to be accessible to people withdisabilities, including employees and members of the public.

    If you require a disability application from me, I will provide one, just tell me what you want.

    It does not appear that WFTV, Inc. v. Wilkenis on point with my request for equal disabilityaccess to courts. The records requested show how and why the Supreme Court discriminates in

    its treatment of disabled persons. The Supreme Court personally intervened to assist a youngattractive female lawyer with access a Bar social event, even before the lawyer was admitted topractice. However ordinary people attending court hearings, not social events, do not getpersonal intervention by the Supreme Court. Therefore I believe Tennessee v. Lane, 541 U.S.509 (2004) is a better case to consider. The Supreme Court of the United States found a valid

    exercise of Congress's enforcement powers under section 5 of the Fourteenth Amendment forADA accommodation, and abrogation of sovereign immunity under the Eleventh Amendment.The public, including me, has a right to know, in writing (public records) why the SupremeCourt has a two-tiered disability accommodation policy. So this is a policy matter, not records.

    WFTV, Inc. v. Wilken, is not a disability access to court case. This lawsuit arose when the Clerkof the Palm Beach County Circuit Court commenced charging $1.00 per page for copies of courtrecords, asserting that this charge was in accordance with subsection 28.24(8)(a), FloridaStatutes (1995). Appellants challenge the legality of the $1.00 per page charge. We affirm thetrial court's entry of summary judgment because we find that the principles of Times PublishingCo. v. Ake, 660 So.2d 255 (Fla.1995), are not violated by the legislative determination of

    applicable charges for copies of court records and further that the charges set forth in subsection28.24(8)(a) are applicable to all court records.

    Otherwise WFTV, Inc. v. Wilkenis wrong in the extreme with its holding that $1 per page forrecords is constitutional. In fact, in Roesch v. State, 633 So.2d 1, 3 (Fla.1993), our supremecourt found that an incarcerated indigent defendant denied free copies of public records is notdeprived of any constitutional right to access but is simply "in the same position as anyone elseseeking public records who cannot pay the copying costs and who cannot afford the trip topersonally examine the records." Well, a law-abiding indigent person who cant afford publicrecords in a civil case does not have access within the meaning of the Constitution either. Theability to examine the record is not very useful. A copy of the record is needed to memorialize

    the information on the record, and to submit the copy of the record to court if needed.

    PACER has been the standard for Public Access to Electronic Court Records for the past twentyfive years. PACER is an electronic public access service of United States federal courtdocuments. It allows users to obtain case and docket information from the United States districtcourts, United States courts of appeals, and United States bankruptcy courts. The system ismanaged by the Administrative Office of the United States Courts in accordance with thepolicies of the Judicial Conference, headed by the Chief Justice of the United States. As of 2013,

    it holds more than 500 million documents. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PACER_%28law%29

    The United States Congress has given the Judicial Conference of the United States authority to

    impose user fees for electronic access to case information. All registered agencies or individualsare charged a user fee. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PACER_%28law%29

    The fee, as of April 1, 2012, to access the web-based PACER systems is $0.10 per page. Priorto that the fee was $0.08 per page and prior to January 1, 2005, the fee was $0.07 per page. Theper page charge applies to the number of pages that results from any search, including a searchthat yields no matches with a one page charge for no matches. The charge applies whether or notpages are printed, viewed, or downloaded. There is a maximum charge of $3.00 for electronic

    access to any single document other than name searches, reports that are not case-specific, andtranscripts of federal court proceedings. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PACER_%28law%29

    You wrote, The Supremacy Clause is implicated only when there is a direct conflict betweenthe state law and federal law and only when the state is clearly subject to the provisions of the

    federal law. Here there is a direct conflict between the state law and federal law, PACER.You wrote, there is no right to access to public records under the United States Constitution.None is needed under the Ninth Amendment: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certainrights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.

    Here in Marion County where I live, and have an active civil case, there is no public accessthrough the Florida Courts E-filing Portal. PACER is available in the federal court 1situated rightbehind the Marion County Court. There is a direct conflict between the state law and federallaw, Florida Courts E-filing Portal and PACER. Therefore the Supremacy Clause is implicated.

    Unfortunately you did not respond the crime spree perpetrated in my situation by the courts and

    the Attorney General of Florida, Pam Bondi, and her coconspirators: (and my former lawyers)

    Enclosed is my motion February 6, 2014 to proceed in forma pauperis in the petition forrehearing of SCOTUS Petition No. 13-7280. See page 7,

    This petition and rehearing is extraordinarily expensive because of fraud or impairmentof Petition No. 12-7747 by the Florida Attorney General et al who conspired with theThirteenth Judicial Circuit to falsely show that I did not serve my petition as show on theRule 29 proof of service. This required shipping to a broader audience in an effort todeter the AG and coconspirators from further obstruction of justice. The increased cotsshown below amount to $2,442.02, and include $100 for process serving to the AG who

    refused to provide basic service of process information, some of which I later found onthe AGs website...I also commenced a so-far unsuccessful Go-Fund-Me crowd fundingdrive that did not get any donations as of this IFP motion.

    Supreme Court Case SC14-1637

    Re: Rule 1-14.1(a) Access To Records, Addendum

    Rule 1-14.1(d), Access to Records; Notice; Costs of Production

    Dear Mr. Tomasino:

    This is in response to your email this morning. When I sent my letter yesterday to Mr. David, I

    had not yet received your letter for Supreme Court Case SC14-1637. I got that last night.

    Attached you will find a records request August 14, 2014 to Michele A. Gavagni, Executive

    Director, Florida Board of Bar Examiners. There has been no response as of today.

    Attached you will find a records request August 14, 2014 to Michael Schneider for the JQC. The

    letter was delivered yesterday; it took some time for U.P.S. to locate the new address for the

    JQC. When I sent the request, I did not know Ms. Kennerly had retired.

    Unfortunately neither Mr. Harkness, not Mr. David responded to my request for records about

    the Disability Discrimination Complaint of Neil J. Gillespie submitted December 10, 2013 to the

    Florida Commission on Human Relations, FCHR No. 201400117. I have provided each of them

    a separate records request today so there is no misunderstanding.

    I am seeking counsel in SC14-1637. I may need an enlargement of time to file. It appears OSCA,

    FCHR, Florida Board of Bar Examiners, [and the Attorney General] and possibly the JQC may

    require a court order to compel public records, in addition to The Florida Bar.

    Thank you in advance for the courtesy of a response.
