Mr. J ohn F. Harkness
Executive Director and Records Custodian
The Florida Bar
651 East J efferson Street
Tallahassee, FL 32399-2300
Dear Mr. Harkness:
Responses by Ms. J olinski, Records Manager for The Florida Bar, provided by email Thursday,
J une 26, 2014 at 10:18 AM appear incorrect. Ms. J olinskis email is attached in PDF
Ms. J olinski wrote Three are inquiries in which no complaint was filed and consequently there
are no public documents. First, I am seeking public records, not public documents. Three
inquiries certainly resulted in public records, regardless of whether a complaint was filed. The
public records would include the identity of the persons making the inquires, the identity of the
lawyers in question, and a description of the subject matter. See below the Florida Rules of
J udicial Administration, Rule 2.420. Public Access to J udicial Branch Records.
Responses by Ms. J olinski provided by email Thursday, J une 26, 2014 at 2:12 PM also appear
incorrect. Ms. J olinskis email is attached in PDF.
Ms. J olinski wrote in part 3 were inquiries resulting in no public documents.
Mr. Bauer ACAP 14-2445 - Evans (no public documents)
Mr. Rodems ACAP 14-14506 - Francis (no public documents)
ACAP 14-14243 - Tomaso (no public documents)
Again, I am seeking public records, not public documents. If the inquires are closed, then there
are public records, and Ms. J olinski is wrong. See the Florida Rules of J udicial Administration,
Rule 2.420. Public Access to J udicial Branch Records.
Rule 2.420(b) Definitions (1) Records of the judicial branch are all records, regardless of
physical form, characteristics, or means of transmission, made or received in connection with the
transaction of official business by any judicial branch entity and consist of:
Rule 2.420(b) Definitions (1)(B) administrative records, which are all other records made or
received pursuant to court rule, law, or ordinance, or in connection with the transaction of
official business by any judicial branch entity.
Rule 2.420(b) Definitions (2) J udicial branch means the judicial branch of government, which
includes the state courts system, the clerk of court when acting as an arm of the court, The
Florida Bar, the Florida Board of Bar Examiners, the J udicial Qualifications Commission, and all
other entities established by or operating under the authority of the supreme court or the chief
justice.

The Florida Bar Page - 2
Ms. J olinski has not claimed any exemption to providing the records. Therefore, provide the
records immediately.
What does ACAP 14-14243 - Tomaso (no public documents) refer to?
Ms. J olinski wrote J une 26, 2014 at 10:18 AM in part Fla.R.J ud. Admin 2.420(m)(3) and
Florida Statute 119.07(4)(d) authorize and establish fees applicable to the production of public
records for inspection or copying within the judicial branch. and presented an invoice for
$227.63, PDF attached. I responded, The amount on the invoice, $227.63, is well beyond my
ability to pay. The invoice does not show a basis for $227.63 other than "17.00 hours" x $13.39
per hour. Okay, I will file with Mr. Harkness a request for the records in forma pauperis, and
appeal any denial through the courts. There are other significant records bills elsewhere, so Ill
draft one petition for all of them.
Until then, kindly provide the cost for the each individual record below, so that I can make an
informed choice.

Dear Mr. Gillespie,
I am responding to requested fro your June 6, 2014 request per Rule 2.420 Florida Rules of Judicial
Administration and applicable law. Please send correspondence related to this request to my attention.


Your Request:
Record request item 1c asks for a progress report from The Florida Bar,
1c. Records of the approval by the entire Florida Supreme Court to develop and implement a
protocol for Bar-related activities at all levels to ensure compliance with all ADA and access
requirements. We request The Florida Bar to report its progress to this court 60 days from this date and
each 60 days thereafter until the directed protocol is implemented.

The Public Information Department provided the following records in response to your request.

Your Request

I [Gillespie] believe Mr. Paul F. Hill, General Counsel, is the ADA Coordinator for The Florida Bar.
Kindly provide records showing the duties and responsibilities of Mr. Hill as ADA Coordinator for The
Florida Bar, and the qualifications, education and skills required for the position.

If The Bar has a medically qualified person to review or consult on disability accommodation requests,
records identifying the person, records showing the duties and responsibilities of the person, and records
of the qualifications, education and skills required for the position.

Mr. Paul Hill, General Counsel, indicates that he has no responsive records regarding your request.

Your Request

1A. Bar complaints against Robert W. Bauer, Bar ID 11058
3. This is a request for records about, showing or explaining,

C. Discipline or complaints for Ryan Christopher Rodems, Bar ID 947652
D. Discipline or complaints for William J ohn Cook, Bar ID 986194
E. Discipline or complaints for Chris A Barker, Bar ID 885568

G. Discipline or complaints for Eugene P. Castagliuolo, Bar ID 104360

Our Lawyer Regulation Department indicates that there are no public records for William John Cook.


The Lawyer Regulation Department estimates that it will require approximately 17 hours to collect,
review and redact, if required, the records you have requested. I have attached an estimate of fees.
Fla.R.Jud. Admin 2.420(m)(3) and Florida Statute 119.07(4)(d) authorize and establish fees applicable
to the production of public records for inspection or copying within the judicial branch. Before the
records you have requested can be produced and delivered, it will be necessary for you to remit the fee
indicated on the enclosed estimate. Any amount in excess of the actual cost when the work is
performed will be returned to you

There are 11 inquiries, complaints, or cases on the list. Of that list, 5 are complaints and cases in
which you are the complainant. Three are inquiries in which no complaint was filed and consequently
there are no public documents. And you have been provided 2013-10,922 (Castagliuolo) previously.
Further, the bar disposes of files that are closed by bar counsel or a grievance committee without a
finding of probable cause, one year after the date the files were closed. Per Rule 3-7.1, Rules
Regulating the Florida Bar, files now pending at the initial staff or grievance committee levels of
investigation are confidential.

If we have not received a response from you within 30 days, this request will be closed.

Dear Ms. J olinski,
Thank you for your response. The amount on the invoice, $227.63, is well beyond my ability to pay. The

You wrote "There are 11 inquiries, complaints, or cases on the list." Please provide the list.
Depending what the list shows, I may modify my request in the interim. Records for Mr. Rodems are top
priority, follows by records for Mr. Bauer, a referral from The Bar. Thank you.
