Dude, I have corresponded with the OIP (State of HI Office of Information Practices) and received a statement quoting a statute that they cannot release documents protected under a privacy exemption due to a COURT ORDER!

You are mistaken. It is a state law, not court order, that prevents the release of documents related to the birth record of Obama and everyone else with a birth record on file in Hawaii.

Also, ALL 3 of BO’s colleges have strict mandate orders to NOT release ANY of his application forms, transcripts, records, etc. !

That's also due to privacy laws, not a court order.

Without such an order, anyone could simply fill out a FOIA request and gain access to BO’s records over the counter at ANY and ALL of BO’s colleges

LOL.Birther naivete never ceases to amaze me.

Occidental and Columbia (which is the third college?) are private colleges, and as such, are not governed by the FOIA. Even in the case of government entities, such as the Hawaii DOH, the FOIA does not grant you access to personal records that are protected by privacy laws.

With all due respect, where have you been ?

Checking facts. You should try it some time.

I hate to have to do your homework for you:

Exemption 5 – Records Protected by Law (§92F-22(5))

An agency may withhold records (1) required to be withheld
from the individual by statute or court decision

(hmmmm-—can you read ? COURT DECISION! )

; or
(2) authorized to be withheld by constitutional or statutory
privilege. This allows agencies to withhold records such as
records sealed by a court order

(hmmm....”sealed by a COURT ORDER” ???)

, communications between the agency and its attorney, and records found to be privileged in litigation.

An individual has a right to correct or amend factual errors, misrepresentations, or misleading entries in his or her personal record. Part III sets out the procedures for correction.

THIS is the statute the State quoted in their response to me

Maybe you should read that AGAIN and let it sink in ! !
