    Re: Request for leave to file

    Dear Magistrate Judge Noel:

    I have reviewed Mr. Godfreads letter and respond as follows:

    First, if Mr. Godfread wants relief from the Court, then he is obligated to followthe procedures for motion practice set forth in the Local Rules. He is also obligated to file

    his requests on the record. His request is ex parte with respect to the public, which has a

    right of access to the federal courts;

    Second, the documents Mr. Godfread proposes to file are inadmissible because

    they are not authenticated. Mr. Godfread claims that the exhibits appear to be financial

    records of Prenda Law, Inc. Perhaps he is right, but I have not reviewed Prenda Laws

    financials and neither, presumably, has he. Until he can authenticate the documents, they

    are inadmissible;

    Third, the documents undermine Mr. Godfreads narrative. I have consistently

    statedoften to deaf earsthat I sold my law practice to Prenda Law in late-2011 and

    subsequently pursued other interests. That is what these documents show. I am labeled an

    old owner throughout the documents. With one de minimus exception, the only

    transfers I received from Prenda Law were in consideration of the sale of my practice;

    Fourth, the documents have no relevance to the subject-matter of this case, which

    was filed as an action for copyright infringement. Although it has since morphed into a

    different matter, the day-to-day ledgers of a law firm are not relevant to either inquiry;

    and

    Fifth, if these documents are authentic, then they were stolen. No business would

    release sensitive financial documents to its adversaries. I understand that this matter is

    being investigated and will be reported to law enforcement, as appropriate.

    So. What you are saying is that these documents undermine Godfread's narrative, (there

    strengthening your case) but yet you *don't* want them admitted? Gotcha.

    Letter? What Letter?

    Oh, I see. Godfread wrote a letter to the Judge requesting permission

    admit the Gibbs Financial Revelation into evidence.
