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 Presidential Commissions signed by the President of the United States of America and countersigned by the U.S. Attorney General for all sixteen (16) federal employees currently seated on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, as required by 5 U.S.C. sections 2104 and 2902. (see sample attached);
2. proper OPM Form 61 Appointment
Affidavits signed by all sixteen (16) federal employees currently seated on the
U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, as required by 5
U.S.C. sections 3331
and 2906 (see sample attached);
3. proper Oaths of Office for
United States Judges signed by all sixteen (16) federal employees currently
seated on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California, as
required by 28 U.S.C. section 453 (see sample attached); and,
4. proper Senate Confirmations of all sixteen (16) federal employees
currently seated on the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of
California, as required by the Appointments Clause in the
Constitution for the United States of America, as lawfully amended (see
sample attached).
Below please find an alphabetical list of the proper
names of all sixteen (16) federal employees whose credentials above I am hereby
requesting, and the cities in which they are employed, as listed at 329
F.Supp.2d.
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
