December 1, 2025: Special Complaint File with Court
I eventually sought judicial relief. On December 1, 2025, I filed special complaint CV2025 – 063720, which was processed by the Superior Court of Arizona in Maricopa County. This complaint was submitted pursuant to A.R.S. § 39-121 et seq. Five defendants were named in this complaint, which included the following:
- Maricopa County Board of Supervisors (MCBOS)
- MCBOS Procurement Department
- MCBOS Information Governance Department
- MCBOS Elections Department
- Maricopa County Recorder’s Office (MCRO)
The defendants were named in accordance with the agencies the County determined needed to address my PRR. My PRR was routed to all of these agencies and they were unable to resolve my request for additional records or provide a complete explanation of the documents provided.
I referenced applicable Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.), which stated the records Arizona counties were required to preserve for public inspection in my plaintiff’s brief. Five defendants (government entities or agencies) were named, which reflected the multiple handoffs of my PRR. No one government entity took responsibility for resolving my concern.
No governance gaps were identified from this event, since this was action I took in response to prior governance gaps already noted.
