Ms. Beem:

Pursuant to your email of March 13, 2018, directed to the Licking County Domestic Relations Court requesting copies of
personnel files for Magistrates Snyder, Rickrich and George, please find enclosed redacted copies of the personnel files
for Magistrate Ann Snyder and Magistrate C. William Rickrich.

Please be advised that the Domestic Relations Court does not maintain a personnel file for Magistrate George, as he is
an employee of the general division of the Licking County Common Pleas Court. Therefore, a public records request
must be submitted to that division directly in order to obtain his information.

Ms. Carnes:

According to Judge Marcelain, magistrates are sworn in to both divisions so there would be no reason that a personnel
file would not be available through Domestic Court for Magistrate George. I know for a fact that he handled (poorly, I
might add) a CPO full hearing which Ohio law requires to be handled by Domestic Division. Licking County has chosen
to circumvent the Ohio Revised Code with respect to CPO's and CSPO's with this unusual approach that Judge
Marcelain refers to as one stop shopping. It also should be noted that although Judge Marcelain has indicated that
magistrates are appointed to both General and Domestic divisions, the documents you provided show that Magistrates
Snyder and Rickrich are assigned to Domestic Court.

As the prosecutor's office provides legal advice to the Licking County Courts, a directive may be appropriate regarding the
questionable practices of the Licking County Courts. Based on your assertion about Magistrate George, his rulings

regarding CPO's should be null and void and I shall treat it accordingly due to the lack of jurisdiction.

Ms. Carnes:

If all magistrates have been appointed to both general and domestic divisions, as claimed by Judge Marcelain, why did
your response regarding Magistrates Snyder and Rickrich only include appointments made by former Judge Steiner to
Domestic Court? How would it be possible that you accurately fulfilled the public records request and that Judge
Marcelain's assertion is accurate? It's unfortunate that I continue to have to pursue this but since neither the Prosecutor's
office nor the judges are willing to acknowledge the real issue of Licking County not following the Ohio Revised Code.
Noting this failure is simply my lay opinion of a plain and unambiguous reading of the code. As you may know, former
Justices Stratton and McGee-Brown asserted Licking County was not following the law on other issues and Justice
O'Connell questioned the approach of Licking County. Those oral arguments are now sealed but I am quite certain
Fairfield County APA Reamer can provide you with an accounting....as former Justice Pfeifer said to Reamer at the time,
he was hammered pretty good.

Let's make this easy, just admit that what the County is doing is wrong and fix it - sort of like the integrity piece Prosecutor
Hayes used as a campaign promise.

Kim Beem
