Part V examines what happened when I submitted essentially the same FOIL request about the resignation of Judge Matthew J. Costa and appointment of Judge Michelle Bernstein to New Rochelle and the New York State Office of Court Administration. OCA eventually produced records — including a letter written by New Rochelle’s mayor — while the City produced nothing, then later said I was too late to ask again. The dispute is now part of my Article 78 proceeding in Westchester County Supreme Court.
