The City and its attorney get smacked down again!
When we had the hearing on the records request violations the judge ordered the City to provide me, and file with the court, a list of the hourly rates for records production. The City's attorney Zeskind admitted that they had not used the whole 5 hours which was labeled IT time in the bill for actual IT work. The judge also ordered that I could come back and argue the over billing, which the City had already basically admitted to. This can be seen at 35:20-42:25 of the hearing video below:

Attorney Matthew Mandel wanted to play shyster games, and did not add the order to produce the fee list to it. I overlooked this as the order did contain the right to comeback and argue the over billing. Further, since the city admitted that the full 5 hours they charged me for the special IT rate, this is necessary to determine the amount of over billing.
Attorney Mandel then refused to provide the fee list after repeated request. So I filed an amended order adding the requirement of the fee list. Attorney Mandel then contested the amended order.
The Honorable Jennifer Bailey, just smacked him down by granting the amended order. A copy of the amended order is in the ink below:

This is going to get good now, can't wait to bust their butt for the unlawfully excessive charges.
Now I'm not a law enforcement officer or anything, but isn't providing someone a bill known to be incorrect and improperly inflated called fraud? One last question for the LEOs out there, isn't sending a fraudulent bill through the mail or email considered mail/wire fraud, which is a federal offense? Just curious if someone could clear up the possible legal ramifications for me as a layman. Thanks.
