FOI #26-581 (09-9-26, 7:01 am) - Subject - California Assembly Bill No. 2777 and W's Pro Se Civil Complaint: https://www.bing.com/search?q=Michael+Ayele+pro+se+civil+complaint

Name - Michael Ayele (a.k.a.) W

Affiliation - Association for the Advancement of Civil Liberties (AACL)

What I am requesting for prompt disclosure are records in your possession detailing your discussions about [1] the decision of the State of California to enact into law Assembly Bill 2777 also known as (a.k.a.) the Sexual Abuse and Cover Up Accountability Act by recognizing that (i) one out of every six American women has been the victim of an attempted or completed rape in their lifetime; (ii) only 300 out of every 1,000 sexual assaults are reported to police; (iii) thirty-three percent of women who are raped contemplate suicide; (iv) 13 percent of women who are raped attempt suicide; (v) a 2016 analysis of 28 studies of nearly 6,000 women and girls 14 years of age or older who had experienced sexual violence found that 60 percent of survivors did not label their experience as “rape;” (vi) it is self-evident that the unique nature of the emotional and psychological consequences of sexual assault, especially on women, can paradoxically permit wrongdoers to escape civil accountability unless statutes of limitation are crafted to prevent this injustice from occurring; (vii) it is self-evident that statutes of limitation for sexual assault need to be crafted in a way that does not cause the covering-up company to enjoy the fruits of their cover-up solely because our statutes of limitation permit, and thus motivate, such behavior; [2] Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a.) W as a Black Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) Degree graduate of Westminster College (Fulton, Missouri) and a former Missouri state government employee who was subjected to frenzy on various internet search engines (ISE) following his decision to recognize that (i) Catherine Daisy Coleman was sexually assaulted in the City of Maryville, Missouri on (or around) January 8, 2012 when she was 14 years of age; (ii) Catherine Daisy Coleman attempted suicide on many occasions in the State of Missouri following the January 8, 2012 sexual assault she was subjected to; (iii) Catherine Daisy Coleman committed suicide in Colorado Springs, Colorado on (or around) August 4, 2020; (iv) the August 4, 2020 suicide of Catherine Daisy Coleman raises questions on the manner in which the State of Missouri handled the sexual assault she was subjected to on (or around) January 8, 2012; (v) the August 4, 2020 suicide of Catherine Daisy Coleman raises questions on the mental health resources that were provided to her (after January 8, 2012) by organizations that have concluded contractual agreements with the MODMH; [3] the decision of ISE such as AOL, Bing/MSN, and Yahoo to filter and distort Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a.) W’s correspondence on matters pertaining to sexual abuse and suicide prevention by generating unwelcome and unapproved queries such as “Michael Ayele World Suicide Prevention Day,” “Michael Ayele Missouri state government case,” “Michael Ayele employment contract,” “Michael Ayele HIPAA,” “Michael Ayele Catherine Daisy Coleman,” “Michael Ayele Audrie Pott.”( https://www.bing.com/search?q=Michael+Ayele+Audries+Law )

FOI #26-575 (09-7-26, 3:49 am) - Subject - Security Camera Footage for MPR Room - North New Haven Key Return

Name - Student Student

Affiliation - Uconn Student

I am requesting any available security/surveillance camera footage from May 10, 2026, between 3:15 PM and 4:45 PM from the North New Haven residence hall at UConn Storrs.
I returned my hall key in the lounge area of North New Haven, which is known as the North Multipurpose Room, during the Spring 2026 move-out process. I was a resident of North New Haven, Room 120. I believe I returned the key closer to 4:00–4:45 PM, but I am requesting footage from 3:15–4:45 PM to ensure the relevant footage is included.
I am specifically requesting footage from any camera that captured the North Multipurpose Room and/or the area where residents were returning their keys during that time.
The reason why I am requesting this footage because Campus Housing assessed a $150 charge for a failure to return the key. I appealed the charge and was informed that I would need additional supporting documentation. Since they gave me no email or supporting documentation when I returned my key, I requested footage of the room where I returned my key. Campus Housing informed me that university security cameras are owned and monitored by UCPD.
If the footage cannot be released directly to me, please let me know whether the footage still exists and whether UCPD can review it or provide verification to Campus Housing that I returned my key. I would greatly appreciate any assistance in obtaining the documentation necessary to have this charge removed.
