From: Grady Ward Subject: Subpoena details It's Thursday, May 30, 1996 at 11:30am PDT. I just got the set of subpoenas fedexed from Madame Kobrin to several places around the United States. Here are the details (all concern RTC v Ward C 96-20207) To Whom Custodian of Records Netcom On-line Communication Services, Inc. c/o Randolph J. Rice The Genesis Law Group, LL.P. 160 W. Santa Clara St., Suite 1300 San Jose, CA 95113 Custodian of Records University of Maryland 2101 Main Administration Building College Park, MD 20742 Custodian of Records University of California San Diego Interim Chancellor Marjoire C. Caserio Office of the Chancellor 0005 La Jolla, CA 90263 Homer Wilson Smith 100 Fairview Sq., Apt. 25 Ithaca, NY 14850 Custodian of Records Humboldt Internet 750 16th St. Arcata, CA 95521 Custodian of Records North Coast Internet 518 E. Street Eureka, CA 95501 All of the depositions and production of documents and things will occur in early to mid June at various offices close to the deponent's site. The ISP's must provide all documents (defined in the awe-inspiring way that my production of records and documents did): 1. All documents relating to usage of your system by Grady Ward, including, without limitation, logs, and billing records reflecting when Mr. Ward was logged on to your system through his user account. [I guess the criminal cult is going to attempt to implicate me in net highjinx by showing I was *logged on* at the same time those highjinx occurred (or seemed to occur -- mixmaster style anonymous remailers have a random wait and reorder function as I recall). This kind of association is roughly equivalent to saying that I was driving a car in New York at the same time as a hit-and-run occurred in the city as evidence of my involvement (!)] Maryland has to produce: 1. All documents relating to the postings (NOTs) which show "info.umd.edu" as the "NNTP Posting Host," including, without limitation, the identity of the person or persons who made the postings. 2. All documents relating to logs or other records kept by the info.umd.edu computer of any individuals who were logged on to that computer, whether as authorized University of Maryland account holders or as guests arriving at that computer from another location, at the time the (NOTs) postings were made. 3. All documents relating to how records are kept by the info.umd.edu computer of the source of postings made or messages sent through that computer. [Note: According to an attachment to the U of M subpoena, specific student records would be withheld IF the student had notified the University of their objection to the disclosure of such "directory information" to the public, according to the Family Education Rights and Privacy Act ("Buckley Amendment"). This implies you students out there ought to write your university today in order to preserve your privacy under the act. Keep a copy of your letter, send by certified mail.] The San Diego subpoena refers to postings made through nately.ucsd.edu and the web pages http://burn.ucsd.edu/%7Eclyde/ot2.html and http://burn.ucsd.edu/%7Eclyde/ot3.html including the identities of the web page owners.
