of the Estate of Mary Y.C. Han, filed a Petition for Discovery with the Second Judicial
District Court, Cause Number 2011 CV 09975.
2.
3.
At oral argument on July 31, 2012, the Honorable Nan Nash again ordered APD to
preserve evidence and produce mobile phone datacards to Petitioner. See Transcript
attached hereto as Exhibit 2 at 48:20-22.
4.
Deputy City Attorney, Kathryn Levy, informed the Court that [t]he City has provided
the records it has. See Transcript attached hereto as Exhibit 2 at 19:3-14.
5.
In fact, Ms. Levy proposed to the Court that the cellular telephone datacards would be
preserved. Exhibit 2 at 29:21-22.
6.
Subsequent to the July 31, 2012 hearing, on September 19, 2012, Ms. Levy reversed
her position and informed Plaintiffs counsel that the data contained on the cellular

telephones had been destroyed. See correspondence attached hereto and incorporated
herein as Exhibit 3.
7.
Ms. Levy also produced an affidavit from Richard F. Campos, city employee,
confirming that the City had failed to implement any policies and procedures to
prevent the destruction of evidence on the cellular phones. See Affidavit of Richard
Campos attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit 4.
8.
On August 25, 2015, counsel was informed that the Albuquerque Police Department
has utilized an independent database to store information concerning high profile
cases and that this database is stored on computer hard drives and backup upon
compact disks. See Affidavit of Reynaldo Chavez attached hereto and incorporated
herein as Exhibit 5.
9.
Included in that database is information and documents relevant to the death of Mary
Han on or about November 18, 2010. Exhibit 5.
10.
Reynaldo Chavez was the public records custodian for the Albuquerque Police
Department. Exhibit 5.
11.
It is Mr. Chavezs opinion, based on his employment and experience with the
Albuquerque Police Department, that the database will most likely be destroyed now
that it is out of his control and possession. Exhibit 5.

12.
Mr. Chavez also stated that Ms. Levy had taken deliberate action to prevent Plaintiffs
from obtaining relevant information concerning Ms. Hans death and the involvement
of Albuquerque Police Department personnel. Exhibit 5.
13.
On August 25, 2015, counsel for Plaintiffs emailed counsel for the Defendants
requesting that they agree to prevent the destruction of the database. See Email
attached hereto and incorporated herein as Exhibit 6
14.
Counsel for Defendants did not respond to the request from Plaintiffs counsel.
15.
Plaintiffs have reason to believe that the independent database which contains
information relevant to these proceedings will be destroyed by the Defendants
(particularly given the history of the Defendants to ignore Court orders) without
immediate Court involvement.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiffs respectfully request this Court order the Defendants to protect
and preserve the database that is referenced in Mr. Chavezs affidavit and for such other and
further relief as the Court deems just and proper.
Respectfully submitted,

5stating what the prongs of making their claim is. We have
6gone above and beyond in providing everything that both the
7Court ordered and what we ordered. Now I'm hearing that,
8somehow or other, personal records should be provided. As I
9stated, the cases are not on point. There is no lawsuit
10filed. There is no way for these individuals on their
11personal cell phones, whether used for business or not, to
12determine whether they need to file an objection. The City
13has been the respondent. The City has provided the records 14it has.
15It's fascinating to me that we have the respondent
16can say that Chief Schultz received eight phone calls or
17eight calls were made to his number. Well, none of those
18records say what the calls were about, so she has that
19information. Calls were made to the chief. He was out of
20town. Simply looking at one more log to say phone calls were
21or were not made on a certain date, doesn't make anything

22more or less likely. Similarly, telling this Court that people use their
City
phones and it shows that they took photos on some dates doesn't change
anything. They don't -- at this point, they're saying, if they took photos, would we
19
so I can appoint a special master. I -- the City can make a suggestion as
to
that
says you can't photograph; 4there are photographs that are referenced in
the
1

16except Tim Lonz and to a person -- every one of those people
17on that list did not take a photograph on that date. So I
18would argue preservation of those cards, but not production.
19Again, it's meaningless, it's expense.
20THE COURT: So your point is that the cards should
21be preserved, but not produced at this point in time?
22MS. LEVY: Yes, Your Honor.
THE COURT: And what about the -- pursuant to the Ortiz decision, at
the very least, preservation of the mobile phone records for that date of these
three individuals.
29
A. I have never seen Jacob Welsh since that day.
Q. Did you to ask Tim Lonz?
A. No.
4Q. And we've already talked about Mr. Muniz. In the almost
5two years since Ms. Han's death, have you seen any
6photographs, anywhere, that were not department photographs,
7of her death?

11THE COURT: Thank you. You may step down. I
12think, given the testimony, what needs to be done is, there
13needs to be a direct inquiry made of these four individuals
14who have been identified.
15MS. LEVY: I will do so, Your Honor.
16THE COURT: And they -- I think if their response
17is that they did not take any unauthorized department
18photographs, I think an affidavit reflecting that needs to be 19provided.

Subject: Re: IPRA / Michael Muniz
Dear Mr Chavez
I have reviewed the records and CD produced by APD on December 14th.
Please note that I only received one report authored by Field Investigator Muniz
on November 18, 2010. The report was for a burglary. Yet, FI Muniz was in Ms
Han's home on November 18th. Thus, please provide the following as required
by IPRA:
1. All reports prepared by FI Muniz on November 18, 2010 to include: (a) the
copperfire report, (b) date originally entered into tiburon or the database
utilized by APD, (c) date(s) of supplements/amendments/edits and by whom
to include identification of the individual and identification of the individual's
rank or civilian title and time, (d) supervisor/Sgt approval to include date and
time and (e) any and all individuals who have either accessed or retrieved the
reports and/or computer file.
With regard to the photos on the CD, I informed Officer Torres on December
14th that I needed the jpg copies of the photos taken by FI Muniz on
November 18th. The pdf provided by APD do not include the metadata. Please
provide all photos in the possession and custody of APD in jpg format. This
request includes any photos taken by FI Muniz which are on the camera
memory.
Further, you indicated that emails concerning Ms Han in any manner were
nonspecific to produce. I do not agree as I clearly requested emails from
APD members (see below) and again request those emails be produced.
Please provide these records in electronic format as soon as possible.
Thank you for your attention. Rosario
