Dear District Attorney Seth R. Williams

Under the Pennsylvania Right to Know Law, 65 §66.1 et seq., I am requesting an opportunity to obtain copies of public records. The record in question, is any and all documentation regarding an action in relation to my complaint filed in January 2011 against a court reporter for the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, Donna Anders.

The complaint relates to falsification of an official court transcript. On December 20, 2010 I appeared in the aforementioned court in front of Judge Eduardo Robreno. In the middle of January I received via e-mail  a court transcript of the hearing where Ms. Anders removed the whole cross examination of  a party Lisa Ostella and neatly arranged the transcript, so it would appear that the cross examination never took place. Ms. Anders removed a whopping 14 pages of the official transcript. When I confronted her, she claimed that it happened due to a scanner malfunction, however when a scanner malfunctions, one would lose a page or two, not consecutive 14 pages. Moreover, one would see that a word or sentence is cut in the middle at the end of the page and the next page is missing. In this instance Mr. Anders positioned the record of the examination  of the next witness in the middle of the page, right after the examination of Plaintiff Ms. Ostella, creating an appearance that the cross examination never took place and she removed all mention of the cross examination out of the index (table of content). Such actions of removing 14 pages from the record by Ms. Anders benefited   plaintiff Lisa Liberi and plaintiff and attorney Philip Berg, as during the cross examination Ms. Ostella stated that allegations  not true, were not made by her, but were created in the office of Attorney Berg, where Ms. Liberi is employed as a paralegal.

After I threatened to file a complaint with the FBI and the Judiciary committee, Mr. Anders mailed me a new transcript, which contained the cross examination in question, which in itself is the proof that the original transcript sent by her was falsified.

Please, see attached both versions of the excerpt of the transcript, showing 14 pages originally removed and later inserted, as well as criminal record of Mr. Liberi, paralegal of Mr. Berg, which includes convictions of Ms. Liberi of forgery of an official seal and offer false/forged instrument to file  and the record of the ruling by the Supreme Court of PA, suspending Mr. Berg’s license for two years.

For two and a half years I did not get any update from your office in regards to my complaint. This is an issue of paramount importance. We  have a court reporter, who was caught falsifying an official transcript/record of the Federal court. If she did it in this case, there is a high probability she did it in other cases and will do it again. No law abiding citizen is safe entering this court room as the record can be falsified and manipulated. If this matter is not prosecuted, this takes away from the public any and all trust in the court system.

Further on, there had to be an investigation, whether Mr. Anders received any incentive, any compensation from other parties for her action of falsification of the original court record/transcript.

I hereby under Pennsylvania Right to Know Law, 65 §66.1 et seq. request any and all documentation, showing what action was taken by the District Attorneys’ office in this matter.

If there are any fees for searching or copying these records, please inform me if the cost will exceed $_100____.  However, I would also like to request a waiver of all fees in that the disclosure of the requested information is in the public interest and will contribute significantly to the public’s understanding of actions of the District Attorney’s office in cases of falsification of court records. It also helps the public to understand whether there is any integrity and rule of law in the court system and in the law enforcement in the city of Philadelphia.  This information is not being sought for commercial purposes.

The Pennsylvania Right to Know Law requires a response time within five business days.  If access to the records I am requesting will take longer than this amount of time, please contact me with information about when I might expect copies of the requested records.

If you deny any or all of this request, please cite each specific exemption you feel justifies the refusal to release the information and notify me of the appeal procedures available to me under the law.

Thank you for considering my request.

Sincerely,

Dr. Orly Taitz, ESQ
