To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the New York Freedom of Information Law, I hereby request the following records:

1. New York State Commission On Ethics ,a copy of the definition for the phrase "organized crime syndicate "
2.New York State Commission On Ethics a copy of the definition for the phrase "white collar organized crime syndicate "
3. A copy of the New York State Commission On Ethics policy or protocol for vetting individuals that have alleged ties to organized crime syndicates for high level employment by the
State of New York.
4. A copy of the New York State Commission On Ethics policy or protocol for vetting individuals that have alleged ties to white collar organized crime syndicates for high level
employment by the State of New York.
5. A copy of the New York State Commission On Ethics policy or protocol for vetting individuals involved in alleged "Fraud on the Court" schemes". (See attached fraud on the court def.)

The basic standards governing fraud on the court are reasonably straightforward. As set forth in Cox v. Burke, 706 So. 2d 43, 47 (Fla. 5th DCA 1998):

The requisite fraud on the court occurs where “it can be demonstrated, clearly and convincingly, that a party has sentiently set in motion some unconscionable scheme calculated to interfere with the judicial system’s ability impartially to adjudicate a matter by improperly influencing the trier of fact or unfairly hampering the presentation of the opposing party’s claim or defense.” Aoude v. Mobil Oil Corp., 892 F.2d 1115, 1118 (1st Cir. 1989). . . . The trial court has the inherent authority, within the exercise of sound judicial discretion, to dismiss an action when a plaintiff has perpetrated a fraud on the court, or where a party refuses to comply with court orders. Kornblum v. Schneider, 609 So. 2d 138, 139 (Fla. 4th DCA 1992).

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Don Stone
