Subject: Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”) Request

Dear Mr. Huff:

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I request that a copy of the following documents be provided to Me, without delay:

1. proper OPM Form 61 Appointment Affidavits signed by all forty-five (45) federal employees currently seated on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, as required by 5 U.S.C. sections 3331 and 2906 (see sample attached);

2. proper Oaths of Office for United States Judges signed by all forty-five (45) federal employees currently seated on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, as required by 28 U.S.C. section 453 (see sample attached); and,

3. proper Senate Confirmations of all forty-five (45) federal employees currently seated on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, as required by the Appointments Clause in the Constitution for the United States of America, as lawfully amended (see sample attached).

Attached please find an alphabetical list of the proper names of all forty-five (45) federal employees whose credentials above I am hereby requesting.

I request a waiver of all fees for this request.

Disclosure of the requested information to Me is in the public interest, because it is likely to contribute significantly to public understanding of the operations and activities of the federal government, and is not primarily in My commercial interest.

See also 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(4)(B). Statutes conferring original jurisdiction on federal district courts must be strictly construed.

If you are not the correct person to whom this FOIA request should be directed, please forward it without delay to the correct person(s).

Thank you for your timely consideration of this FOIA request.

Sincerely yours,

/s/ Paul Andrew Mitchell
