Barber, FOIL Officer, Office of Court Administration [email protected] Agency Building 4, Empire State Plaza, Suite 2001, Albany, NY 12223 CC (administrative notice only): Hon. Phaedra F. Perry-Bond, IAS Part 35 [email protected] 60 Centre Street, Chambers Room 570, New York, NY 10007 FROM: JaneDoe1, Editorial Administrator, LucyCraig.blog RE: DeleteMe / JoinDeleteMe / Abine, Inc. - contracts, procurement, public expenditures, official communications, and records concerning the scope of services for judicial officials Dear Records Access Officer: LucyCraig.blog requests access under the New York Freedom of Information Law (Public Officers Law §§ 84-90) and 22 NYCRR Part 124 to the administrative records maintained by the Office of Court Administration (OCA) described below. We understand that FOIL does not compel the disclosure of court records or a judge's exclusively private records, and that OCA need not create documents or answer questions that are not reflected in existing agency records. The request concerns DeleteMe, JoinDeleteMe, Abine, Inc., and other entities to the extent identifiable in existing OCA records as providing DeleteMe-branded or equivalent services through those entities. The focused individual of interest is Hon. Phaedra F. Perry-Bond (including the name Phaedra F. Perry). References to other judges are confined to OCA-maintained programs, expenditures, or procurement records. Investigation context: On October 22, 2026, the publication described an apparent DeleteMe-related content-removal demand concerning commentary about Justice Perry-Bond. The report is at https://lucycraig.blog/article/dear-judge-perry-bond-that-s-not-how-the-first-amendment-works . We seek records to establish facts, not to presume the source, authority, funding, scope, or lawfulness of any service or request. 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. --- Page 2 --- LucyCraig.blog | Investigative records correspondence | October 25, 2026 Page 2 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. The search terms should include "Phaedra Perry-Bond," "Phaedra Perry," "DeleteMe," "JoinDeleteMe," "Abine," and "lucycraig.blog," as appropriate. 8. Production, redactions, and response Please produce responsive records electronically, in existing native format where practicable, or as searchable PDFs. If a record is withheld or redacted, identify the legal basis and release reasonably segregable portions. We specifically exclude judges' home addresses, private phone numbers, private family details, security vulnerabilities, credentials, and full account or card numbers. Where requested records are not maintained or cannot be located after diligent search, provide the certification contemplated by 22 NYCRR § 124.6(c). Under 22 NYCRR § 124.6(a), please approve, deny, or acknowledge this request with an approximate determination date within five business days. Advise us before charges exceed $25. If another office maintains responsive administrative records, please identify that office where known.

Phaedra F. Perry-Bond, Supreme Court, New York County, IAS Part 35 Via published Part 35 office: [email protected] 60 Centre Street, Chambers Room 570, New York, NY 10007 CC: Sevil N. Barber, FOIL Officer, Office of Court Administration - [email protected] RE: Request for voluntary factual clarification regarding any DeleteMe-related service or communication Dear Justice Perry-Bond: LucyCraig.blog is examining whether commercial online-information-removal services have been retained or used for New York State judicial officials and, in particular, whether any such service extends beyond personal privacy and security to address professional reputation, judicial acts, or reporting about official conduct. We invite a voluntary factual response to ensure accurate reporting and to provide an opportunity to clarify the record. These questions do not concern the merits of any case, do not seek a judicial ruling, and do not request privileged information, confidential proceedings, or private security details. If another administrative office or authorized spokesperson handles such matters, we welcome a referral. 1. Have you, an authorized representative, or any court-administered program obtained or used DeleteMe, JoinDeleteMe, Abine, Inc. or a related service in connection with information published about you? If so, was the service personally paid, publicly funded, reimbursed, subsidized, or otherwise sponsored by a third party? 2. If private funds paid for any service, did its agreed scope extend to online professional reputation management, including criticism of judicial rulings or decisions, reporting about court proceedings, discussion of judicial conduct, or the appearance of search results concerning your public duties? 3. Was any vendor or representative authorized to request removal, delisting, or modification of an article about your professional conduct or judicial work, distinct from a request narrowly targeting private home addresses, family details, threats, or other safety-sensitive information? 4. Did any court officer, employee, or public resource participate in establishing, administering, paying for, or communicating with the provider on such requests, and was any administrative approval obtained? 5. Did you personally authorize, review, or become aware of any communication described by LucyCraig.blog in its October 22, 2026 article as a DeleteMe-related demand? If this description is inaccurate, please identify the inaccuracy without commenting on any pending case. 6. If services were limited strictly to personal privacy and physical security, would you confirm that distinction for the record? Relevant publication: LucyCraig.blog editorial of October 22, 2026. A response is voluntary. We respect legitimate personal-safety protections and will consider corrections or clarification. Exclusively private contracts are not ordinarily available through OCA FOIL.
