Subject:  Credentials of Jay Cranshaw [sic]

Dear Presiding Judge:

This is  a request under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C.
552 et seq., and regulations thereunder.  This is My firm promise
to pay  fees and  costs for locating, duplicating, and mailing to
Me certified copies of the records requested below.

If some of this request is exempt from release, please furnish Me
with those  portions  reasonably  segregable.    I  am  requiring
certified copies  of the documents requested, in lieu of personal
inspection of same.

Admissible documents requested:

     1.   Certified copy  of the  solemn oath  of office  of  Jay
          Cranshaw, as  required by  Article VI, Clause 3, in the
          Constitution for  the  United  States  of  America,  as
          lawfully amended.

     2.   Certified copy of his fidelity bond or surety bond.

     3.   Certified copy of his formal delegation of authority.

     4.   Certified copy  of his  license to  practice law in the
          State of Arizona, if any.


The requested  records are  not exempt  from  disclosure  because
they:

     (A)  could not  reasonably be expected to interfere with law
          enforcement proceedings;

     (B)  would not  deprive a  person of a right to a fair trial
          or an impartial adjudication;

     (C)  could not  reasonably  be  expected  to  constitute  an
          unwarranted invasion of personal property;

     (D)  could  not  reasonably  be  expected  to  disclose  the
          identity of a confidential source;

     (E)  would not  disclose techniques  and procedures  for law
          enforcement investigations  or prosecutions,  and would
          not   disclose    guidelines   for    law   enforcement
          investigations or prosecutions;

     (F)  could not  reasonably be  expected to endanger the life
          or physical safety of any individual.

                                        [see Exemption 7 in FOIA]


If you  are not  the correct  person  to  whom  this  Freedom  of
Information Act  Request should be directed, kindly forward it to
the correct person.

Time is  of the  essence.   If you  have any questions about your
rights and  obligations under 5 U.S.C. 552, may we recommend that
you contact  the office  of  the  Attorney  General  in  Phoenix,

obedience to  the controlling  laws in  this matter, specifically

United States of America, as lawfully amended.
