The Office of the State Courts Administrator has both the authority and a duty to address the issues raised in my August 16, 2013 e-mail, that David A. Rowland, General Counsel for the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit Florida, concocted with others a scheme to falsely portray to Kenneth Wilson, Florida A.S.A., that I did not serve Rowland my petition per Supreme Court Rule 29. The State Courts Administrator serves under the direction of the Chief Justice of the Florida Supreme Court and the other six justices and oversees the operation of numerous court initiatives and administrative functions. Additionally, the State Courts Administrator serves as the liaison between the court system and the legislative branch, the executive branch, the auxiliary agencies of the Court, and national court research and planning agencies. The OSCA's legislative and communication functions are handled directly by the State Courts Administrator and her executive staff. http://www.flcourts.org/courts/crtadmin/crtadmin.shtml Ms. Rush and Mr. Goodlett are members of The Florida Bar, and each have a duty to report misconduct of lawyers and judges as provided by Rule 4-8.3(a) and (b): Rule 4-8.3 Reporting Professional Misconduct (a) Reporting Misconduct of Other Lawyers. A lawyer who knows that another lawyer has committed a violation of the Rules of Professional Conduct that raises a substantial question as to that lawyer's honesty, trustworthiness, or fitness as a lawyer in other respects shall inform the appropriate professional authority. (b) Reporting Misconduct of Judges. A lawyer who knows that a judge has committed a violation of applicable rules of judicial conduct that raises a substantial question as to the judge's fitness for office shall inform the appropriate authority. The Thirteenth Judicial Circuit for the state of Florida was created to administer, apply, and interpret the laws of the state of Florida in a fair and unbiased manner without favoritism, extortion, improper influence, personal self-enrichment, self-dealing, concealment, and conflict of interest. David A. Rowland is general counsel for the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit, and by virtue of that position of trust an officer and employee of state government, responsible for lawfully performing and discharging his duties without bias, favoritism, extortion, improper influence, personal self enrichment, self-dealing, concealment, and conflict of interest. Manuel Menendez, Jr., is an elected state circuit court judge, and Chief Judge for the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit, and is by virtue of that position of trust an officer and employee of state government, responsible for lawfully performing and discharging his duties without bias, favoritism, extortion, improper influence, personal self enrichment, self-dealing, concealment, and conflict of interest.

Unfortunately Mr. Rowland and others obstructed justice in Petition No. 12-7747 for writ of certiorari to the U.S. Supreme Court as shown in my May 16, 2013 letter to Kenneth Wilson A.A.G. Mr. Rowland, the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit, and state actors engaged in fraud or impairment of legitimate government activity, 18 U.S.C. 371, conspiracy against rights, 18 U.S.C. 241, and depravation of rights under color of law, 18 U.S.C. 242. It appears you, Ms. Rush and Mr. Goodlett have knowledge of the above matter, and thus a duty pursuant to 18 U.S.C. 4 - Misprision of felony: Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both. http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/4 The failure to report the above cited criminal activity of the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit appears in conflict with the OSCAs issued Values Statements in March 2012. (copy enclosed) Value: RESPECT. We treat everyone with dignity, courtesy, and respect. Value: INTEGRITY. We are honest and trustworthy, and our actions are consistent with our words. Value: INNOVATION. We anticipate future needs and develop and implement innovative solutions to organizational challenges. Value: FLEXIBILITY. We adapt to challenges to produce the best results and are flexible in responding to the needs and responsibilities of our workforce. Value: ACCOUNTABILITY. We are accountable to each other, the courts, and the public for efficiently using our resources. Value: EXCELLENCE. We demonstrate the highest level of quality, professionalism, and service in our work and conduct. It seems to me that the OSCA has a duty under the so-called Values Statements, especially ACCOUNTABILITY, to report the crimes and misconduct of the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit. Sincerely,

VIA U.P.S. No. lZ64589FP294937280 Manuel Menendez, Jr., Chief Judge Thirteenth Judicial Circuit Of Florida 800 E. Twiggs Street, Suite 603 Tampa, Florida 33602 Dear Judge Menendez:

September 27, 2013

Your response to my records request of August 15, 2013 shows the existence ofjudicial misconduct and disability as defined by the Constitution and the laws of the State of Florida. Your misconduct and disability shows you are not able to perform your duties under Article V, section 2(d), Florida Constitution, as a circuit chiefjudge and the administrative head of the circuit, "responsible for the administrative supervision of the circuit courts and county courts in his circuit" or attend to the business of the court in an efficient and expeditious manner. My August 15, 2013 record request specifically excluded a response by David A. Rowland, yet he responded anyway August 30, 2013 and claimed you "directed" him to respond. Unfortunately Mr. Rowland is a criminal. He engaged in fraud or impairment of a legitimate government activity, 18 U.S.C. 371, when he obstructed Petition No. 12-7747, a conspiracy against rights, 18 USC 241, and a depravation of rights under color of law, 18 USC 242. The records response by Mr. Rowland is defective. Rowland's letter is dated August 30, 2013, but the U.S.P.S. tracking no. 9114 9011 5981 5305 5834 13 shows the letter was not mailed until September 9, 2013, and not delivered until September 11, 2013. Mr. Rowland has notoriously misrepresented dates in this matter, like his fraud and obstruction in Petition No. 12-7747, described in my letter to Kemleth Wilson A.A.G. May 16, 2013. Rowland's letter wrongly claims "we responded" to earlier records request. No, the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit did not respond. Instead, Sandra Burge, a purported "paralegal assistant", provided inaccurate and misleading responses on plain paper, not the Court's letterhead. Rowland provided in his response a concocted email, the "AMENDED INVOICE: Judicial Records Request", that contains this additional text: "Expires: Saturday, July 06, 2013 12:00 AM". The email I got from Sandra Burge June 06, 2013 12:34 PM does not have this additional text. Rowland's document shows other evidence of fabrication. It is missing the email address of the sender Sandra Burge and my email address, and wrongly displays the name David Rowland. In addition, I will not send payment for records to David Rowland, who I know as a liar. Judge Menendez, I have not addressed every problem with Mr. Rowland's response, or responded to every misstatement of fact by him, but Rowland's response does not fulfill your obligation as records custodian to nlY request. Mr. Rowland has a conflict of interest due to his crimes in this matter as described above, 18 U.S.C. 371, 18 U.S.C. 241 and 18 U.S.C. 242. Rowland's misconduct will become more problematic as he tries to cover-up his wrongdoing.

The Florida Press Association wrote you November 16, 2011, as shown in the enclosed letter, "[T]o convey our serious concern that foreclosure hearings in Hillsborough County are being conducted in a manner that inappropriately impedes public access to judicial proceedings. It has recently come to our attention that members of the public encounter significant obstacles when attempting to observe foreclosure proceedings, and in some instances are unable to do so at all. We believe this practice violates Florida law's robust guarantee of open courts." The Press Association's letter was provided "cc" to Florida Supreme Court Chief Justice Charles T. Canady. Signatories to the November 16, 2011 letter include: Samuel J. Morley, General Counsel, The Florida Press Association Talbot D'Alemberte, The Florida Press Association Barbara Peterson, President, First Amendment Foundation Larry Schwartztol, Staff Attorney, The American Civil Liberties Union Gil Thelen, Executive Director, Florida Society of News Editors Randall C. Marshall, Legal Director, The American Civil Liberties Union of Florida

Judge Menendez, enclosed is my letter to you of January 27, 2010 informing you of problems in my case 05-CA-7205. I do not show a response from you, or evidence of remedial action. My complaints with the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit are similar to those made by The Florida Press Association, and are not isolated or sporadic events, but part of your policy of oppression. The Thirteenth Judicial Circuit was created by statute to administer, apply, and interpret the laws of the state of Florida in a fair and unbiased manner without favoritism, extortion, improper influence, personal self-enrichment, self-dealing, concealment, and conflict of interest. Unfortunately Judge Menendez, you and Mr. Rowland do not operate the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit in a fair and unbiased manner. Instead, you corruptly run the Thirteenth Judicial Circuit for your benefit, and as a criminal enterprise through a pattern of racketing activity contrary to RICO, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act. 18 U.S.C. 1961-1968. It is time for you to resign Judge Menendez. You are not able to perform your duty as Chief Judge in an effective and expeditious manner. Do not direct Mr. Rowland contact me again. I do not want to hear from that lying criminal anymore. I will proceed next with the records request to Lisa Goodner, State Courts Adnlinistrator, and federal options beyond that ifnecessary.
