Exhibit 100: 1 Page Destroyed, and Document Decraded to Obscure Information by District Judge Hurson

Summary

Exhibit 100 was added to PACER as District ECF 16-0, with pages scanned using copier settings that visibly degraded the record and excluded page 119 without explanation. In the District version, page headers appear in blue and conflict with the internal exhibit tags at the bottom of each page. Page 118 is visibly overexposed, with the bottom portion rendered unreadable, and page 119 is entirely missing from the sequence. In the Circuit version, pages appear in proper order, exhibit tags and page headers are consistent, and page 119 is fully present. No court order was issued authorizing the omission of any page. Judge Brendan A. Hurson has been established as the last person to have possession of the original, and he directed the Case Manager to file the altered copy without correction from the signed physical CD. The scan was created using a U.S. Courts-licensed copier, and the alteration occurred under Hurson’s custody. The unauthorized removal, concealment, destruction, and substitution of official court records—including exhibits bearing original signatures—constitutes tampering with a public and government records, falsification of federal records, obstruction of justice, and several other violations of federal law and ethics rules.
