Judge Dowd spawns oral orders blocking my access to the Mokay exhibits
I wrote in this blog a couple of days ago about Judge Dowd's efforts, transmitted to me through Delaware County Supreme Court Clerk Kelly Sanfilippo, to block my access to trial exhibits received by the court on April 7, 2015.
I asked Kelly Sanfilippo to provide a written order blocking my access or sealing or temporarily sealing those exhibits, with papers upon which the order was granted.
Today I received a letter from Kelly Sanfilippo stating that there is no such written order, and so Ms. Sanfilippo cannot provide me with a copy of the order.
I am not aware of a judge's authority to issue ORAL orders blocking a party's attorney's access to exhibits that were already filed with the court and constitute a public record.
I am filing a Judiciary Law 255 request for access and will report on this blog as to the response by the Delaware County Supreme Court.
Stay tuned.
