Dear Dora:

As an addendum for clarification to my letter dated December 18, 2015,1 am not real
sure of all the dates ofthe hearings, but here are the dates that I am fairly certain we had
hearings in mis case:

July 2,2015
July 16,2015
July 28,2015
August 5,2015
August 18,2015
September 9,2015
September 21,2015
September 22,2015
October 6,2015
October 20,2015
November 10,2015
This was a rapid fire blitzkrieg summary dismissal of all claims by ambush—without any
discovery or other substantive due process—in order to deprive me of my forever
inviolate right to a jury trial or any reasonable or meaningful avenue to vindicate the
violation ofconstitutionally protected rights.

This is a formal request that you prepare the Master Court Reporter's Record for filing in
the Third Court of Appeals as soon as possible.

This MASTER CLERK'S RECORD will serve as the record in aU cases appealed in this
cause.

You were previously served with the Affidavit ofInability to Pay Costs on Appeal.
