Ayele sending this message though I now go by W. You may call me W. I am writing this letter to file a request for records with your office.[i] The bases for this records request are [1] the decision of the California government to enact Audrie’s Law on (or around) September 30th 2014 following the September 12th 2012 suicide of Audrie Taylor Pott, thereby recognizing sexual assault as a factor that could lead a girl (below the age of 18) and/or a woman (above the age of 18) to commit suicide;[ii] [2] the decision of the National Council on Disability (NCD) to formally recognize sexual assault as a factor increasing the risk of suicide on (or around) January 30th 2018; [iii] [3] the decision of the Missouri government to remain muted on the subject of sexual violence leading to suicide even after the August 04th 2020 suicide of Catherine Daisy Coleman.[iv] I) Records Requested What I am requesting for prompt disclosure are records in your possession detailing your discussions about [1] the provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability (HIPAA) failing to prohibit (i) current/former U.S healthcare workers from expressing a verbal and/or written objections if they believe that a patient has been subjected to medical treatment that offends their conscience; (ii) current/former U.S healthcare workers from expressing a verbal and/or written objections if they believe that a patient has been subjected to medical treatment they consider to be discriminatory and/or racist and/or sexist; (iii) representatives of the media and/or members of the general public from requesting the personal health information (PHI) of a patient in a medical facility who may have been the victim of discrimination and/or racism and/or sexism;[v] [2] the wrongful death complaint that had been filed on behalf of Audrie Taylor Pott in the Santa Clara County Superior Court, which was assigned Case No.: 1 - 13 – CV – 244689; [3] the terms and conditions of the non-monetary settlement agreement, which was concluded in the wrongful death complaint that had been assigned by the Santa Clara County Superior Court the following Case No.: 1 – 13 – CV – 244689; [4] Audrie Taylor Pott as

23. a Caucasian girl, (i) who was 15 (fifteen) years of age, when she was sexually assaulted on (or around) September 04th 2012; (ii) who attempted suicide 6 (six) days after her sexual assault on (or around) September 04th 2012; (iii) who was declared deceased on September 12th 2012 following her attempted suicide on (or around) September 10th 2012; [vi] (iv) whose suicide led the California government to enact Audrie’s Law on (or around) September 30th 2014; (v) whose name, image and likeness is extensively linked with Catherine Daisy Coleman in part because of the 2016 Netflix documentary entitled Audrie and Daisy;[vii] [5] Catherine Daisy Coleman as a Caucasian woman, (i) who was the victim of a sexual assault on (or around) January 08th 2012 when she was 14 (fourteen) years of age; (ii) who was under American national microscopic scrutiny because of the January 08th 2012 sexual assault she was the victim of in the State of Missouri; (iii) attempted suicide following her very much publicized sexual assault on January 08th 2012 in the State of Missouri; (iv) who has been noted to have spent some time at Missouri Girls Town: a facility that has concluded many contracts with the Missouri Department of Mental Health (MODMH); (v) who was on (or around) January 09th 2014 noted by the State of Missouri to have been “put at substantial risk” when she was left “outside of her home in below freezing temperatures” even though she was “incapable of protecting or caring for herself;” (vi) whose suicide didn’t inspire legislative action in the State of Missouri even though it was in many ways similar to the suicide of Audrie Taylor Pott; [6] Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W as a Black man, who (i) has never denied previously being employed for the Missouri Department of Mental Health (MODMH) Fulton State Hospital (FSH) as a healthcare worker; (ii) has previously corresponded with his former employers on the subject of Catherine Daisy Coleman personal health information (PHI) upon learning of her suicide on (or around) August 04th 2020; (iii) was provided by his former employers the contractual agreements that were concluded between the MODMH and Missouri Girls Town: a facility, where Catherine Daisy Coleman was reported to have stayed in following the sexual assault she was victim of on (or around) January 08th 2012; (iv) has had his written publications on the subject of World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD) distorted in such a way that would give the impression that his conscience was not offended by the “investigation,” which had been launched against him between October 26th 2013 and November 21st 2013 (even though he was very much vexed by that); (v) has had his written publications on the subject of WSPD distorted in such a way that would give the impression that he has not officially demanded for the MODMH to disclose the PHI of Catherine Daisy Coleman at Missouri Girls Town following the sexual assault she was victim of on (or around) January 08th 2012 (even though he had asked for that document to be made available to him); (vi) has had his written publications on the subject of WSPD distorted in such a way that would give the impression that he does not condemn the January 08th 2012 sexual assault Catherine Daisy Coleman was victim of (even though he is still very much dismayed by the way Missouri government authorities handled the sexual assault Catherine Daisy Coleman was victim of on January 08th 2012);[viii] (vii) was very much annoyed to learn that his written publications on the subject of the National Council on Disability (NCD) January 30th 2018 report were being distorted on the Internet by the so-called “Web;”[ix] [7] the Missouri Department of Mental Health (MODMH) as a state government agency, which has a history of citing HIPAA for the purpose of (i) shielding their employees from criticism for the medical treatment they provide that is in reality discriminatory and/or racist and/or sexist; (ii) not providing the personal health information (PHI) of their patients/prisoners who have been 2 | P a g e

24. subjected to medical treatment that is in reality discriminatory and/or racist and/or sexist; [8] the National Council on Disability (NCD) as a federal agency of the U.S government, which has on January 30th 2018 decided to recognize that sexual assault (i) “is a public health and public safety concern with far reaching implications;” (ii) “is a deeply personal violation,” which “leaves physical and emotional impacts that change the lives of victims;” (ii) causes “long term physical, psychological, and emotional effects, including depression, post-traumatic stress, thoughts of suicide, flashbacks, and sleep disorders;” [9] the date and time your local/state government streamed the 2016 Netflix documentary entitled Audrie and Daisy for the purpose of raising awareness about sexual assault as a factor that could lead girls/women to commit suicide in the days/weeks/months/years after the traumatic experience; [10] the decision of Joseph Biden / Kamala Harris White House Administration to recognize on (or around) September 09th 2022 that (i) they “are still in the early stages of learning about the conditions that can lead to suicide, including job strain or loss, serious illnesses, and financial, criminal, legal, and relationship problems;” (ii) “suicide accounts for 1 (one) of every 100 (one hundred) deaths globally;” (iii) suicide is “the second leading cause of death for Americans between the ages of 10 (ten) and 34 (thirty four);”[x] [11] the manner in which your local/state government has commemorated World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD). II) Request for a Fee Waiver and Expedited Processing The requested records do/will demonstrate that [1] the provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability (HIPAA) fail to prohibit (i) current/former U.S healthcare workers from expressing a verbal and/or written objections if they believe that a patient has been subjected to medical treatment that offends their conscience; (ii) current/former U.S healthcare workers from expressing a verbal and/or written objections if they believe that a patient has been subjected to medical treatment they consider to be discriminatory and/or racist and/or sexist; (iii) representatives of the media and/or members of the general public from requesting the personal health information (PHI) of a patient in a medical facility who may have been the victim of discrimination, racism and/or sexism; [2] Audrie Taylor Pott is a Caucasian girl, (i) who was 15 (fifteen) years of age, when she was sexually assaulted on September 04th 2012; (ii) who attempted suicide 6 (six) days after her sexual assault on (or around) September 04th 2012; (iii) who was declared deceased on September 12th 2012 following her attempted suicide on (or around) September 10th 2012; (iv) whose suicide led the California government to enact Audrie’s Law on (or around) September 30th 2014; (v) whose name, image and likeness is extensively linked with Catherine Daisy Coleman in part because of the 2016 Netflix documentary entitled Audrie and Daisy; [3] Catherine Daisy Coleman is a Caucasian woman, (i) who was subjected to a sexual assault on (or around) January 08th 2012 when she was 14 (fourteen) years of age; (ii) who was under American national microscopic scrutiny because of the January 08th 2012 sexual assault she was victim of in the State of Missouri; (iii) who attempted suicide following her very much publicized sexual assault on January 08th 2012 in the State of Missouri; (iv) who has been noted to have spent some time at Missouri Girls Town: a facility that has concluded many contracts with the Missouri Department of Mental Health (MODMH); (v) who was on (or around) January 09th 2014 noted by the State of Missouri to have been “put at substantial risk” when she was left “outside of her home in below freezing 3 | P a g e

25. temperatures” even though she was “incapable of protecting or caring for herself;” (vi) whose suicide didn’t inspire legislative action in the State of Missouri even though it was in many ways similar to the suicide of Audrie Taylor Pott whose suicide didn’t inspire legislative action in the State of Missouri even though it was in many ways similar to the suicide of Audrie Taylor Pott; [4] Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W is a Black man, who (i) has never denied previously being employed for the Missouri Department of Mental Health (MODMH) Fulton State Hospital (FSH) as a healthcare worker; (ii) has previously corresponded with his former employers on the subject of Catherine Daisy Coleman personal health information (PHI) upon learning of her suicide on (or around) August 04th 2020; (iii) was provided by his former employers the contractual agreements that were concluded between the MODMH and Missouri Girls Town: a facility, where Catherine Daisy Coleman was reported to have stayed in following the sexual assault she was victim of on (or around) January 08th 2012; (iv) has used his advocacy skills to encourage his former employers and their contractual partners to formally recognize sexual assault as a factor that increases the risk of girls/women to commit suicide; (v) has used his advocacy skills to encourage his former employers and their contractual partners to provide appropriate support for sexual violence survivors who may be considering suicide; [6] the Missouri Department of Mental Health (MODMH) is a state government agency, which has a history of citing HIPAA for the purpose of (i) shielding their employees from criticism for the medical treatment they provide that is in reality discriminatory and/or racist and/or sexist; (ii) not providing the personal health information (PHI) of their patients/prisoners who have been subjected to medical treatment that is in reality discriminatory and/or racist and/or sexist; [7] the National Council on Disability (NCD) is a federal agency of the U.S government, which has on January 30th 2018 decided to recognize that sexual assault (i) “is a public health and public safety concern with far reaching implications;” (ii) “is a deeply personal violation,” which “leaves physical and emotional impacts that change the lives of victims;” (iii) causes “long term physical, psychological, and emotional effects, including depression, post-traumatic stress, thoughts of suicide, flashbacks, and sleep disorders.” In my judgment, the facts presented in this request for a fee waiver and expedited processing are not the sort to bolster public confidence in the activities, the engagements and the priorities of the U.S government overall. As a Black man with a U.S college degree (who has previously been subjected to a racially motivated Missouri state government investigation), I would like to take this opportunity to condemn [1] violence committed against girls/women irrespective of their racial backgrounds, their sexual orientations, their national origins, their religious affiliations and/or their disability status; [2] the January 08th 2012 sexual assault Catherine Daisy Coleman was victim of in the State of Missouri; [3] the September 04th 2012 sexual assault Audrie Taylor Pott was victim of in the State of California; [4] malicious efforts to place women in circumstances encouraging the commission of suicide as a form of retaliation/punishment for speaking about an incident of sexual harassment/sexual assault and/or rape to agents of law enforcement and/or other qualified individuals; [5] the racially motivated Missouri state investigation I was subjected to between October 26th 2013 and November 21st 2013 when I was working for the Missouri Department of Mental Health (MODMH) Fulton State Hospital 4 | P a g e

26. (FSH); [6] the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) processing of the Charge they had assigned Case No.: 28E – 2014 – 00485C. The core issues presented in this records request are as follows. 1) Have you had conversations about the provisions of HIPAA failing to prohibit current/former U.S healthcare workers from expressing a verbal and/or written objections if they believe that a patient has been subjected to medical treatment that offends their conscience? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 2) Have you had conversations about the provisions of HIPAA failing to prohibit current/former U.S healthcare workers from expressing a verbal and/or written objections if they believe that a patient has been subjected to medical treatment they consider to be discriminatory and/or racist and/or sexist? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 3) Have you had conversations about the provisions of HIPAA failing to prohibit members of the general public / representatives of the media from requesting the personal health information (PHI) of a patient in a medical facility who may have been the victim of discrimination and/or racism and/or sexism? 4) Have you had conversations about the decision of the Missouri Department of Mental Health (MODMH) Fulton State Hospital (FSH) to subject their former employee Michael A.

If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 5) Have you had conversations about the written publications of Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W on the subject of World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD) WSPD being distorted in such a way that would give the impression that the January 08th 2012 sexual assault Catherine Daisy Coleman was victim of did not cause her “long term physical, psychological and emotional effects, including depression, post-traumatic stress, thoughts of suicide, flashbacks and sleep disorders” even though the evidence suggests otherwise particularly given her August 04th 2020 suicide?

27. though she was “incapable of protecting or caring for herself?” If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 11) Has your local/state government previously streamed the 2016 Netflix documentary entitled Audrie and Daisy for the purpose of raising awareness about sexual violence as a factor that could lead girls/women to commit suicide?

If yes, will you disclose those records? 16) Have you had conversations about the decision of the California government to enact Audrie’s Law on (or around) September 30th 2014, thereby recognizing sexual assault as a factor that could lead girls/women to commit suicide? If yes, will you disclose those records? 17) Have you had conversations about the wrongful death complaint that had been filed with the Santa Clara County Superior Court on behalf of Audrie Taylor Pott, which ended up being assigned Case No.: 1 - 13 – CV – 244689? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 18) Have you had conversations about the terms and conditions of the non-monetary settlement agreement, which was concluded following the filing of the wrongful death complaint that had been assigned by the Santa Clara County Superior Court the following the Case No.: 1 - 13 – CV – 244689? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 19) Have you had conversations about the decision of the Joseph Biden / Kamala Harris White House Administration to recognize on (or around) September 09th 2022 that (i) they “are still in the early stages of learning about the conditions that can lead to suicide, including job strain or loss, serious illnesses, and financial, criminal, legal, and relationship problems;” (ii) “suicide accounts for 1 (one) of every 100 (one hundred) deaths globally;” (iii) suicide is “the second leading cause of death for Americans between the ages of 10 (ten) and 34 (thirty four)?” If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 20) Has your local/state government previously commemorated September 10th as World Suicide Prevention Day (WSPD)? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? 21) Has your local/state government previously commemorated the month of September as World Suicide Prevention Month? If yes, will you promptly disclose those records? This records request should be expedited because it puts into question the government’s integrity about the way that people are treated in the U.S.A on account of their gender, their racial backgrounds, their national origins and their disability status. My request for a fee waiver should be granted because [1] I have identified operations and activities of the federal government in concert with U.S local/state government; [2] the issues presented are meaningfully informative 6 | P a g e

28. about government operations or activities in order to be ‘likely to contribute’ to and increase public understanding of those operations or activities; [3] this records request is being filed for non-commercial purposes and any records you disclose to me could be made available to the general public at no financial expense to them. Under penalty of perjury, I hereby declare that all the statements I have made to be true and accurate to the best of my knowledge. Be well. Take care. Keep yourselves at arms distance. W (AACL) Michael A. Ayele Anti-Racist Human Rights Activist Audio-Visual Media Analyst Anti-Propaganda Journalist Work Cited [i] Please be advised that I have previously disseminated a vast number of documents obtained through records request using the means of various digital publishing platforms. As a representative of the media, I would like to take this opportunity to inform you that the records you disclose to me could be made available to the general public at no financial expense to them. This records request is being filed for non-commercial purposes. As previously noted, any records you disclose to me could be made available to the general public at no financial expense to them. [ii] This bill is the direct result of the tragic death of Audrie Pott, a 15-year-old Saratoga High student who committed suicide after she was sexually assaulted while unconscious and photos of her were disseminated electronically. Her assailants were tried as juveniles. The allegations against them were sustained and they handed down sentences of 30 to 45 days, news reports said. Despite the severity of their crimes, they are freed from having to register sex offenders due to an omission in the law. (…) They are free to continue their lives, education, and careers in anonymity thanks to outdated laws after publicly destroying a young woman's life. 7 | P a g e

29. The incidents surrounding Audrie's death are not isolated but reflect a disturbing trend. Her case is eerily similar to the suicide of Rehtaeh Parsons, a 17-year-old student in Canada, who suffered nearly two years of bullying as photos of her sex assault were circulated by students, and the photographed rape of an unconscious 16-year-old girl by two high school football players in Steubenville, Ohio. It should be noted that the identities of the convicted football players, both 16, were released by the juvenile court. The nature of the crimes against Audrie, coupled with the growing use of social media to bully victims, demands that our statutes and codes be amended to reflect the severity of these offenses in the 21st century to not only give justice but to act as a deterrent.

30. Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W is an alumnus of Westminster College (located in Fulton, Missouri) who was in the month of January 2010 informed about the April 05th 1986 rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery. He is responsible for the written publications of the Association for the Advancement of Civil Liberties (AACL): a non-profit organization primarily engaged in the dissemination of public records obtained from the U.S government. It is the judgment of Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W that the rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery continues to leave several key questions about Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 unaddressed. The questions asked by Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W about Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 include but are not limited to the following. 1) What are/were colleges/universities in the U.S.A obligations pursuant to Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972? Were colleges/universities throughout the U.S.A required by law to condemn violence committed against women irrespective of their racial backgrounds, their sexual orientations, their religious affiliations and their national origins following the enactment of Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972? If yes, were colleges/universities required to inform their students about what constitute appropriate sexual boundaries pursuant to Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972? 2) Did colleges/universities throughout the U.S.A begin informing their students about what constitute “affirmative and effective consent” following the enactment of Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972? If not, when did colleges/universities begin to inform their incoming freshmen/transfer students about the concepts of “affirmative and effective consent?” Did colleges/universities throughout the U.S.A begin teaching the concepts of “affirmative and effective consent” to their incoming freshmen/transfer students following the rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery (dated April 05th 1986)? If yes, why have colleges/universities throughout the U.S.A fixated on the rape and murder of this Caucasian woman by a Black/African American man to inform their incoming freshmen/transfer students about what constitutes “affirmative and effective consent?” 3) Are colleges/universities discussions pertaining to what constitutes “affirmative and effective consent” consistent with Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 if they are first informing their incoming/freshmen students about the rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery? Are colleges/universities discussions pertaining to what constitutes “affirmative and effective consent” consistent with their academic integrity policy if they are first informing their incoming freshmen/transfer students about the rape and murder of Jeanne Ann Clery? 4) Were there forces out there in the 1970s and the 1980s looking for a case where a Black/African American man rapes and murders a Caucasian woman for the purpose of enacting a law similar to the Jeanne Clery Act? Was the enactment of the Jeanne Clery Act the result of racist and sexist individuals coming together for the purpose of [a] preventing racial minorities from climbing the social ladder through academic education; [b] cracking down on interracial relationships particularly between a Caucasian woman and a Black/African American man; [c] not applying the same standards in circumstances where a Caucasian man sexually assaults a woman from a racial minority (as in the case of Brock Turner and Chanel Miller following her rape on January 18th 2015 at the campus of Stanford University)? According to the National Council on Disability (NCD), [1] “affirmative and effective consent” is being taught to college/university students of the United States of America (U.S.A) during the course of their Freshmen year, [2] college/university students are informed about “healthy sexual 9 | P a g e

31. relationships” during the course of their 1st (first) year of post-secondary academic education; [3] 20% (twenty percent) of women were sexually assaulted in a college/university setting by the time they reached their Senior year in Calendar Year 2005; [4] 32% (thirty two percent) of women with a disability were sexually assaulted during Calendar Years 2014 and 2015 in a college/university setting; [5] sexual assault “is a public health and public safety concern with far reaching implications;” [6] sexual assault is a “deeply personal violation,” which “leaves physical and emotional impacts that change the lives of victims;” [7] sexual assault causes “long term physical, psychological, and emotional effects, including depression, post-traumatic stress, thoughts of suicide, flashbacks, and sleep disorders.” As a matter of principle, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W unequivocally condemns violence committed against women irrespective of their racial backgrounds, their sexual orientations, their national origins, their religious affiliations and/or their disability status. Affirmative and Effective Consent in Healthy Sexual Relations on American College/University Campuses. Association for the Advancement of Civil Liberties (AACL) Website on WordPress.: https://michaelayeleaacl.wordpress.com/2022/11/02/affirmative-and-effective- consent-in-healthy-sexual-relationships-on-college-campuses-index/ [iv] Following the submission of Sunshine requests about the August 04th 2020 suicide of Catherine Daisy Coleman, the Association for the Advancement of Civil Liberties (AACL) has managed to obtain the criminal charges filed by the State of Missouri in the Circuit Court of Nodaway County for “endangering the welfare of a child in the second degree.” The AACL has also managed to obtain the contractual agreements concluded between the Missouri Department of Mental Health (MODMH) and Missouri Girls Town. As you may be aware, Catherine Daisy Coleman was the victim of a sexual assault on (or around) January 08th 2012, which had been very highly publicized particularly in the State of Missouri. In the judgment of the AACL, the criminal charges filed by the State of Missouri on (or around) January 09th 2014 failed to seriously take into consideration the damage that had been inflicted on the physical and mental well-being of Catherine Daisy Coleman. Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W is responsible for the publications of the Association for the Advancement of Civil Liberties (AACL). He was an employee of the Missouri Department of Mental Health (MODMH) Fulton State Hospital (FSH) in Calendar Year 2013. Via email, his former employers have refused to deny that Catherine Daisy Coleman was a patient of Missouri Girls Town following the January 08th 2012 sexual assault she was a victim of (only confirming that Missouri Girls Town is indeed a contractual partner of the MODMH). According to the MODMH, Missouri Girls Town is a “time-limited placement resource for children requiring active coordinated and professional intervention in a highly structured environment by virtue of a demonstrated inability to function in any less restrictive setting. Children requiring residential treatment services exhibit a severe mental illness and/or persistent mental disorder as diagnosed according to the DSM-IV. These children may be unable to function consistently in an open, public school setting, may present a chronic runaway risk, and may present a history of showing rage, including physical aggression toward self and others.” 10 | P a g e

32. Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W was very much concerned upon reading about the August 04th 2020 suicide of Catherine Daisy Coleman because he was in Calendar Year 2013 an employee of the MODMH (FSH). As a former employee of the MODMH (FSH), it remains unclear to Michael A.

Ayele (a.k.a) W if the Personal Health Information (PHI) of Catherine Daisy Coleman reflected this risk. According to a January 30th 2018 report published by the National Council on Disability (NCD), [1] “affirmative and effective consent” is being taught to college/university students of the United States of America (U.S.A) during the course of their Freshmen year; [2] college/university students are informed about “healthy sexual relationships” during the course of their 1st year of post-secondary academic education; [3] twenty percent (20%) of women were sexually assaulted in a college/university setting by the time they had reached their Senior Year in Calendar Year 2005; [4] thirty two (32%) of women with a disability were sexually assaulted during Calendar Year 2014 and 2015 in a college/university setting; [5] sexual assault is a “deeply personal violation,” which leaves “physical and emotional impacts that change the lives of victims;” [7] sexual assault causes “long term physical, psychological and emotional effects, including depression, post-traumatic stress, thoughts of suicides and sleep disorders.” Michael Ayele (a.k.a) W has used his advocacy skills to have his former employers as well as their contractual partners acknowledge the reality that sexual violence is a factor increasing the risk of suicide for the purpose of preventing in the future similar suicides such as the one committed by Catherine Daisy Coleman on (or around) August 04th 2020. Unfortunately, however, it remains unclear for Michael Ayele (a.k.a) W what the obligations of the MODMH pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA) actually are. The MODMH were extremely vague to Sunshine requests submitted on the subject of [1] whether they have in the past disclosed the PHI of an individual in circumstances, where discrimination was at play (for the purpose of remedying the discrimination); [2] whether they were in the past required to disclose the PHI of an individual either to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and/or the courts (for the purpose of remedying the discrimination). As a matter of principle, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W unequivocally condemns violence committed against women irrespective of their racial backgrounds, their sexual orientations, their national origins and their religious affiliations. Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W also condemns malicious efforts designed to place women in circumstances encouraging the commission of suicide after a documented incident of sexual violence.

Ayele (a.k.a) W was witness to between October 26th 2013 and November 21st 2013 when he was an employee of the Missouri Department of Mental Health (MODMH) Fulton State Hospital (FSH). Unfortunately, these eager and unknown others have gone on to intrusively insert themselves into the publications of Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W on his Internet Archive (Archive.org) account both with malice and without his prior assent. Furthermore, these unknown others have gone on to distort his published written content detailing his recollections of the nights he had spent working as a public employee of the Missouri state government between October 26th 2013 and November 21st 2013 without ever requesting for his prior approval. Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W was very much displeased upon learning that his written content on various digital platforms were being filtered by Internet Search Engines (ISE), which include (but may not be limited to) AOL, Bing/MSN, and Yahoo! 13 | P a g e

35. As you may be aware, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W was in 2013 employed for the Fulton State Hospital (FSH): a Missouri state government agency, which is a component of the Missouri Department of Mental Health (MODMH). Between October 26th 2013 and November 21st 2013, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W was subjected to an internal Missouri state government investigation following the self-injurious non-suicidal attempt of a patient/prisoner of the FSH now defunct Biggs Forensic Center (BFC) New Outlook Program (NOP). On (or around) November 21st 2013, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W was “cleared” of that Missouri state investigation. Despite several efforts to obtain records relating to that Missouri state government investigation he was subjected to (between October 26th 2013 and November 21st 2013), Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W has thus far been unable to obtain the documents he has asked for. On his official WordPress website, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W had created the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability (HIPAA) tag for the first time in reference to the inconsistent legislative actions that were taken following the August 04th 2020 suicide of Catherine Daisy Coleman and the September 12th 2012 suicide of Audrie Taylor Pott. It is the judgment of Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W that the provisions of HIPAA enable current/former healthcare workers to express written objections to a specific course of medical treatment a patient is subjected to if the current/former healthcare worker believes the treatment to be discriminatory and/or racist and/or sexist in nature. It is also the judgment of the Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W that the inconsistent legislative actions taken (in the State of California and the State of Missouri) following the suicides of Audrie Taylor Pott and Catherine Daisy Coleman merited discussions on the subject of “sexual assault as a factor increasing the risk of suicide” (particularly) among current/former healthcare workers. Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W was very much concerned upon learning about the August 04th 2020 suicide of Catherine Daisy Coleman because he was in Calendar Year 2013 a public employee of the MODMH (FSH). As a former employee of the MODMH (FSH), it remains unclear to Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W whether or not his former employers acknowledge as a matter of reality the fact that sexual assault is a factor increasing the risk of suicide. It also remains unclear to Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W if the Personal Health Information (PHI) of Catherine Daisy Coleman reflected this risk. According to a January 30th 2018 report published by the National Council on Disability (NCD), [1] “affirmative and effective consent” is being taught to college/university students of the United States of America (U.S.A) during the course of their Freshmen year; [2] college/university students are informed about “healthy sexual relationships” during the course of their 1st year of post-secondary academic education; [3] twenty percent (20%) of women were sexually assaulted in a college/university setting by the time they had reached their Senior Year in Calendar Year 2005; [4] thirty two (32%) of women with a disability were sexually assaulted during Calendar Year 2014 and 2015 in a college/university setting; [5] sexual assault is a “deeply personal violation,” which leaves “physical and emotional impacts that change the lives of victims;” [6] sexual assault causes “long term physical, psychological and emotional effects, including depression, post-traumatic stress, thoughts of suicides and sleep disorders.” Via email, the former employers of Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W (i.e.: the MODMH) have refused to deny that Catherine Daisy Coleman was a patient of Missouri Girls Town following the 14 | P a g e

36. January 08th 2012 sexual assault she was a victim of (only confirming that Missouri Girls Town is indeed a contractual partner of the MODMH). The terms and conditions of the contractual agreements concluded between the MODMH and Missouri Girls Town recognize that Missouri Girls Town is a “time-limited placement resource for children requiring active coordinated and professional intervention in a highly structured environment by virtue of a demonstrated inability to function in any less restrictive setting. Children requiring residential treatment services exhibit a severe mental illness and/or persistent mental disorder as diagnosed according to the DSM-IV. These children may be unable to function consistently in an open, public school setting, may present a chronic runaway risk, and may present a history of showing rage, including physical aggression toward self and others.” It is the judgment of Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W that the criminal charges filed by the State of Missouri on (or around) January 09th 2014 (which had been assigned Case No.: Kind CR00011) failed to seriously take into consideration the damage that had been inflicted on the physical and mental well-being of Catherine Daisy Coleman on (or around) January 08th 2012. Michael Ayele (a.k.a) W has used his advocacy skills to have his former employers as well as their contractual partners acknowledge the reality that sexual violence is a factor increasing the risk of suicide for the purpose of preventing in the future similar suicides such as the one committed by Catherine Daisy Coleman on (or around) August 04th 2020. Unfortunately, however, it remains unclear for Michael Ayele (a.k.a) W what the obligations of the MODMH pursuant to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and the Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act (HIPAA) actually are.

37. [ix] Excerpt of Email Sent by Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W to Scribd on (or around) December 18th 2023 Hello, This is Michael A. Ayele sending this message though I now go by W. You may call me W. I am writing this letter because it has recently come to my attention that my written content on the subject of "affirmative and effective consent in healthy sexual relationships," which I had published on Scribd was distorted by the so-called "web." As you may be aware, all Freshmen undergraduate students of the United States of America (U.S.A) are now being taught what constitutes "affirmative and effective consent" in healthy sexual relationships as part of their formal post-secondary academic education. Furthermore, all Freshmen undergraduate students of the U.S.A receive Title IX training on what constitutes "sexual harassment" as part of their formal post-secondary academic education. In their January 30th 2018 report, the National Council on Disability (NCD) recognized this, writing in part that [1] “affirmative and effective consent” is being taught to college/university students of the United States of America (U.S.A) during the course of their Freshmen year; [2] college/university students are informed about “healthy sexual relationships” during the course of their 1st year of post-secondary academic education; [3] twenty percent (20%) of women were sexually assaulted in a college/university setting by the time they had reached their Senior Year in Calendar Year 2005; [4] thirty two (32%) of women with a disability were sexually assaulted during Calendar Year 2014 and 2015 in a college/university setting; [5] sexual assault is a “deeply personal violation,” which leaves “physical and emotional impacts that change the lives of victims;” [6] sexual assault causes “long term physical, psychological and emotional effects, including depression, post-traumatic stress, thoughts of suicides and sleep disorders.” After reading the January 30th 2018 report of the NCD, I, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W filed a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request with the NCD, which went on to be assigned by Case No.: 2023 - 01. After further consideration, I, Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W decided to publish the entire content of my correspondence with the NCD on the subject of their January 30th 2018 report as well as the issues I had taken with that report. Can you explain how it is possible for others to intrusively insert themselves into the content of my written correspondence with the NCD (on the subject of their January 30th 2018 report) after I had published this correspondence of mine on Scribd? In other words, can you explain how it is possible for others to filter the content of my written correspondence with the NCD (on the subject of their January 30th 2018 report) on Internet Search Engines (ISE) such as Bing/MSN and possibly others? I will encourage that you be well. Take care. Keep yourselves at arms distance. 16 | P a g e

38. [x] On World Suicide Prevention Day, our Nation joins the World Health Organization, the International Association for Suicide Prevention, and countries across the globe in mourning those who have died by suicide. Suicide is a devastating tragedy that leaves loved ones with unanswered questions and families missing a piece of their soul, wishing for more time together. We are still in the early stages of learning about the conditions that can lead to suicide, including job strain or loss; serious illnesses; and financial, criminal, legal, and relationship problems. Acknowledging suicide and the impact it has on our communities is a first step to understanding how it can be prevented more effectively. Suicide accounts for 1 of every 100 deaths globally, and it is the second leading cause of death for Americans between the ages of 10 and 34. (…) On this day of commemoration and action, we commit to studying the risk factors associated with suicide and to making mental health care accessible and affordable. Finally, to those experiencing emotional distress: please know that you are loved, and that you are not alone. There is hope, and there is help, and I encourage you to call or text 9-8-8 to reach the National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. NOW, THEREFORE, I, JOSEPH R. BIDEN JR., President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim September 10, 2022, as World Suicide Prevention Day. I call upon all Americans, communities, organizations, and all levels of government to join me in creating hope through action and committing to preventing suicide across America. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this ninth day of September, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-two, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-seventh.

II) Request for a Fee Waiver and Expedited Processing

49. State of Rhode Island Office of the General Treasurer James A. Diossa General Treasurer The requested records do/will demonstrate that [1] the provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability (HIPAA) fail to prohibit (i) current/former U.S healthcare workers from expressing a verbal and/or written objections if they believe that a patient has been subjected to medical treatment that offends their conscience; (ii) current/former U.S healthcare workers from expressing a verbal and/or written objections if they believe that a patient has been subjected to medical treatment they consider to be discriminatory and/or racist and/or sexist; (iii) representatives of the media and/or members of the general public from requesting the personal health information (PHI) of a patient in a medical facility who may have been the victim of discrimination, racism and/or sexism; [2] Audrie Taylor Pott is a Caucasian girl, (i) who was 15 (fifteen) years of age, when she was sexually assaulted on September 04th 2012; (ii) who attempted suicide 6 (six) days after her sexual assault on (or around) September 04th 2012; (iii) who was declared deceased on September 12th 2012 following her attempted suicide on (or around) September 10th 2012; (iv) whose suicide led the California government to enact Audrie’s Lawon (or around) September 30th 2014; (v) whose name, image and likeness is extensively linked with Catherine Daisy Coleman in part because of the 2016 Netflix documentary entitled Audrie and Daisy; [3] Catherine Daisy Coleman is a Caucasian woman, (i) who was subjected to a sexual assault on (or around) January 08th 2012 when she was 14 (fourteen) years of age; (ii) who was under American national microscopic scrutiny because of the January 08th 2012 sexual assault she was victim of in the State of Missouri; (iii) who attempted suicide following her very much publicized sexual assault on January 08th 2012 in the State of Missouri; (iv) who has been noted to have spent some time at Missouri Girls Town: a facility that has concluded many contracts with the Missouri Department of Mental Health (MODMH); (v) who was on (or around) January 09th 2014 noted by the State of Missouri to have been “put at substantial risk”when she was left “outside of her home in below freezing temperatures”even though she was “incapable of protecting or caring for herself;”(vi) whose suicide didn’t inspire legislative action in the State of Missouri even though it was in many ways similar to the suicide of Audrie Taylor Pott whose suicide didn’t inspire legislative action in the State of Missouri even though it was in many ways similar to the suicide of Audrie Taylor Pott; [4] Michael A. Ayele (a.k.a) W is a Black man, who (i) has never denied previously being employed for the Missouri Department of Mental Health (MODMH) Fulton State Hospital (FSH) as a healthcare worker; (ii) has previously corresponded with his former employers on the subject of Catherine Daisy Coleman personal health information (PHI) upon learning of her suicide on (or around) August 04th 2020; (iii) was provided by his former employers the contractual agreements that were concluded between the MODMH and Missouri Girls Town: a

50. State of Rhode Island Office of the General Treasurer James A. Diossa General Treasurer facility, where Catherine Daisy Coleman was reported to have stayed in following the sexual assault she was victim of on (or around) January 08th 2012; (iv) has used his advocacy skills to encourage his former employers and their contractual partners to formally recognize sexual assault as a factor that increases the risk of girls/women to commit suicide; (v) has used his advocacy skills to encourage his former employers and their contractual partners to provide appropriate support for sexual violence survivors who may be considering suicide; [6] the Missouri Department of Mental Health (MODMH) is a state government agency, which has a history of citing HIPAA for the purpose of (i) shielding their employees from criticism for the medical treatment they provide that is in reality discriminatory and/or racist and/or sexist; (ii) not providing the personal health information (PHI) of their patients/prisoners who have been subjected to medical treatment that is in reality discriminatory and/or racist and/or sexist; [7] the National Council on Disability (NCD) is a federal agency of the U.S government, which has on January 30th 2018 decided to recognize that sexual assault (i) “is a public health and public safety concern with far reaching implications;” (ii) “is a deeply personal violation,” which “leaves physical and emotional impacts that change the lives of victims;” (iii) causes “long term physical, psychological, and emotional effects, including depression, post-traumatic stress, thoughts of suicide, flashbacks, and sleep disorders.” In my judgment, the facts presented in this request for a fee waiver and expedited processing are not the sort to bolster public confidence in the activities, the engagements and the priorities of the U.S government overall. As a Black man with a U.S college degree (who has previously been subjected to a racially motivated Missouri state government investigation), I would like to take this opportunity to condemn [1] violence committed against girls/women irrespective of their racial backgrounds, their sexual orientations, their national origins, their religious affiliations and/or their disability status; [2] the January 08th 2012 sexual assault Catherine Daisy Coleman was victim of in the State of Missouri; [3] the September 04th 2012 sexual assault Audrie Taylor Pott was victim of in the State of California; [4] malicious efforts to place women in circumstances encouraging the commission of suicide as a form of retaliation/punishment for speaking about an incident of sexual harassment/sexual assault and/or rape to agents of law enforcement and/or other qualified individuals; [5] the racially motivated Missouri state investigation I was subjected to between October 26th 2013 and November 21st 2013 when I was working for the Missouri Department of Mental Health (MODMH) Fulton State Hospital (FSH); [6] the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) processing of the Charge they had assigned Case No.: 28E – 2014 – 00485C.
