The Office of Court Administration acknowledges receipt of your FOIL request dated October 25, 2026, seeking: 1. Contracts, procurement, and program records All existing OCA contracts, subscription agreements, purchase orders, statements of work, amendments, invoices, procurement approvals, vendor evaluations, solicitations and procurement records concerning DeleteMe, JoinDeleteMe or Abine, Inc., whether procured for OCA, court employees, judges, or a judicial security/privacy program. Include any agreement for group accounts, subsidized employee benefits, or vendor referrals administered or funded by OCA. 2. Records identifying recipients or beneficiaries Nonexempt administrative records reflecting whether Justice Perry-Bond was named, designated, enrolled, approved, reimbursed, or otherwise listed as a user or beneficiary of the above services, including through a central procurement or court-funded benefit. For wider programs, records sufficient to identify the approving unit, eligibility criteria, expenditures, and general scope of services; sensitive security details may be redacted. 3. Funding and privately financed arrangements involving official resources Administrative records showing who paid for relevant services, including agency purchase or payment records, reimbursements, expense reports, outside funding, cost-sharing arrangements, or instances where a privately paid subscription was authorized, coordinated, administered, processed, or supported using OCA personnel, procurement systems, or other official resources. We do not seek personal banking or payment-card information. 4. Scope of service: personal privacy versus professional reputation Existing contracts, service descriptions, onboarding materials, statements of work, vendor proposals, policies, authorizations, or correspondence in OCA's administrative custody describing whether the services encompass (a) removal of home addresses, family information, or information-broker entries; (b) search-engine delisting; (c) requests about reporting on judicial rulings, opinions, proceedings, or professional conduct; (d) reputation-management or public-relations activity; or (e) complaints or demands to remove critical commentary concerning a judge's official work. This item requests documents reflecting the scope, not a newly created explanation. 5. Communications and content-removal requests Nonexempt OCA administrative correspondence, including emails, attachments, referrals, memoranda, instructions, and vendor submissions, concerning DeleteMe, Justice Perry-Bond, judicial reputation or security services, LucyCraig.blog, the domain lucycraig.blog, or requests to remove, modify, deindex, or restrict publication of material about the judicial work of Justice Perry-Bond. Include records discussing whether a proposed request was for a private safety concern, a professional reputation concern, or both. 6. Public-resource participation and oversight Policies, directives, approvals, and records of internal administrative review concerning use of court email accounts, staff time, state equipment, official titles, official stationery, public funds, or referral channels in assisting commercial information-removal services. Include existing administrative records of any applicable conflict-of-interest or authority review, but not confidential ethics proceedings or protected judicial deliberations. 7. Time period and search scope For contracts, procurement, payment, and policies: January 1, 2020 through October 25, 2026. For communications specifically referring to Justice Perry-Bond, LucyCraig.blog, the cited publication, or content-removal requests: January 1, 2025 through October 25, 2026. Search OCA offices reasonably likely to maintain procurement, finance, legal administration, technology contracting, and vendor-management records.
