Please reply promptly to the following public records request, which I’m making in accordance with FOIA and FOIL.
To:
New York Supreme Court, Criminal Term

New York, NY 10013
Specifically related to Judge Phyillis Chu. Please provide the electronic copy of her current Oath of Office, and her Public Official Surety Bond [and or Surety Liability Insurance Policy] that is required to be purchased before taking the Oath of Office.
I believe that the Public Official Surety Bond or the Surety Liability Insurance Policy falls under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. § 552, The Sunshine Act 5 U.S.C. § 552b, and that, by law you are obligated to supply me with this information.
** I’m simply requesting an electronic copy of an electronic record, if one exists. I’m NOT asking for the opportunity to come in person to “inspect”, nor to obtain a printed copy of, this electronic record. I’m requesting explicitly that any responsive info be provided to me via the electronic medium / electronic format (in which the copy of this record already exists). If you are unable to fulfill any or all parts of this request, please specifically cite where a reason for denial is justified under any public records laws, statutes, etc. **
