Separate transmission from response
A sent email proves notice. It does not prove a substantive response, action, agreement, or correction.

Twenty-three scored games now include a source-matched Jetta Works rally.
V58 rebuilds Stage 99½ around a new high-detail top-down rendering of Justin’s actual black 1999½ Volkswagen Jetta. The closed roof, sunroof, silver mirror caps, multi-spoke wheels, body-kit stance, Mk4 grille and headlamp cues, and Maine plate 9855 MD remain visible in the playable car. Dynamic gravel, mud, rain, spray, night headlights, reflections, suspension movement, skid marks, pace notes, drift and near-miss scoring, layered sound, damage effects, and modern telemetry now join the preserved Procedural Grand Prix, Law Court kangaroo, York admonishment desk, Board laundromat, real pinball, both dunk tanks, Morse carnival, and final-boss lane.

One owner. One issue. One source packet. One requested action. One review date.
The purpose is not to multiply accusations. It is to make institutional responsibility and follow-through visible enough that a public answer can be measured.

Measure practical result
A docket entry, automated acknowledgment, or procedural step is not automatically the same as practical implementation.
3
Publish the limits
Every issue states what its source record does not establish. Public accountability loses force when it outruns its proof.
Issue docket · as of August 19, 2026
Status, ownership, remedy, and next checkpoint.
Filter the docket by owner or status. Each record links to the narrower source page rather than asking readers to rely on the summary.
ACC-001Hearing scheduled
February 11 order implementation and adult logistics
Current result: The October 8 enforcement hearing is scheduled. The public record still describes disputed practical implementation of contact, therapy, transportation, and information-sharing.
Requested remedy: Enter specific, adult-operable implementation terms and rule on the disputed enforcement issues promptly.
Open source record → Amanda Morse implementation record
Limit: This public record does not itself establish contempt, motive, or every disputed fact.
ACC-002Escalated; oversight referral filed
Law Court usual-course directive and downstream implementation gap
Current result: Signed orders were entered May 12 and June 23. A public open letter followed August 17, and a Rule 10(c) intake and routing request followed August 18.
Requested remedy: Clarify the action-capable path and prevent an appellate directive from becoming practically null through downstream delay.
Open source record → Law Court accountability record
Limit: The June 23 order was signed for the Court; authorship and individual responsibility are not assumed.
ACC-003Hearing scheduled
York Judicial Center enforcement intake, service, and scheduling
Current result: The August 14 procedural order preserved one enforcement motion, dismissed the other submitted documents, required certified-mail service, and set an October 8 hearing.
Requested remedy: Provide a prompt merits ruling and an implementation-ready order after the scheduled hearing.
Open source record → York Judicial Center + eCourt record
Limit: The 62-day interval is an elapsed-time fact, not a claim that a specific rule required an earlier hearing.
ACC-004Open; performance response not yet linked
eFileMaine notification multiplication and rejection-loop performance
Current result: The site audit counts 878 filing-system notices and 234 rejection/return messages. One representative envelope generated 30 automated emails.
Requested remedy: One authoritative envelope status, one consolidated rejection record, stable reason codes, and public performance reporting.
Open source record → Tyler / eFileMaine accountability record
Limit: Message counts are not unique filings, unique defects, or judicial decisions.
ACC-005Closed by dismissal; disposition disputed
Maine Board of Overseers complaint handling and public-member review
Current result: A July 21 dismissal was issued. On July 27, Bar Counsel advised that further filings should be directed to the Clerk’s Office.
Requested remedy: Publish a reasoned, claim-by-claim comparison and preserve a meaningful public-member review route.
Open source record → Board accountability record
Limit: A complaint is not a finding, and a dismissal is not proof that every factual conflict was resolved.
ACC-006Filed; routing disposition pending
Rule 10(c) intake, preservation, and judicial-conduct routing request
Current result: A public-safe summary and redacted sent-message proof are posted. No public disposition artifact is linked in the site record as of August 19.
Requested remedy: Issue a written jurisdictional disposition and preserve or transmit the matter through the proper judicial-conduct channel.
Open source record → Rule 10(c) referral section
Limit: The filing proves submission, not jurisdiction, investigation, agreement, or adjudicated misconduct.
ACC-007Records and performance request ready
Public money to court-technology performance
Current result: Cost context and user-side workflow metrics are assembled. Contract-level acceptance criteria, service obligations, invoices, defect logs, and performance reports are not yet in the public site catalog.
Requested remedy: Publish contracts, amendments, invoices, acceptance testing, service levels, defects, and quarterly outcome metrics.
Open source record → Public money to performance record
Limit: The $100M-plus figure is contextual and combines distinct facility and statewide technology buckets.
ACC-008Public proposal; sponsor and adoption pending
Five operational court-reform demands
Current result: A one-page public proposal now states five measurable reforms without presenting them as current legal requirements.
Requested remedy: Secure sponsors, hearings, administrative commitments, and implementation metrics for each demand.
Open source record → Five operational reform demands
Limit: These are policy proposals, not statements of current law or mandatory court procedure.
ACC-009Live and continuously reviewable
Institutional response, correction, and adverse-material ledger
Current result: Responses are separated into automated acknowledgment, human acknowledgment, substantive response, action, dispute, and no public-safe response artifact linked.
Requested remedy: Publish source-supported corrections, adverse material, and institutional responses without erasing the original version history.
Open source record → Response ledger
Limit: Absence from the site is not proof that no private or later response exists.
ACC-010Published; ongoing maintenance
Full public-safe source catalog with stable IDs and hashes
Current result: The full public-safe download corpus is cataloged by stable ID, file type, page count, size, and SHA-256 hash.
Requested remedy: Maintain superseded/current labels and preserve stable source IDs as the record grows.
Open source record → Public record catalog
Limit: Catalog inclusion does not transform party assertions or public commentary into adjudicated findings.
The five operational demands
A smaller reform agenda that can be carried, sponsored, and audited.
These are proposed reforms, not current legal requirements.
1
Implementation-ready orders
Child-contact, therapy, transportation, information-sharing, and records-access orders should identify the platform, time window, responsible adult, transportation method, access method, deadline, and fallback.
2
Prompt implementation review
Documented nonimplementation should trigger a defined, expedited status process rather than another cycle of motion, rejection, correction, and delay.
3
Prehearing evidentiary rulings
Witness availability, privilege, remote testimony, and documentary-foundation issues should be decided in writing before a short merits hearing whenever reasonably practicable.
4
One consolidated eFile rejection
One envelope should receive one authoritative rejection record with stable reason codes, all known defects, the corrective path, and deadline or relation-back protection where applicable.
5
Quarterly public performance reporting
Publish filing-rejection rates, repeat-rejection rates, median acceptance time, time to hearing, time to order, continuance reasons, pending-age measures, and implementation-review timing.
Action-capable public tools
Move from evidence into official, measurable action.
Institutional response ledger
Normalized transmissions, acknowledgments, substantive responses, actions, disputes, and public-record gaps.
Open ledger →Public money → performance
Cost context, contract tracker, missing records, and a public administrative-records request.
Open performance record →Remedy clock / child-time index
Elapsed-time facts are separated from legal deadlines and proposed benchmarks.
Open clocks →Official action center
Targeted packets for AOC, procurement, audit, OPEGA/GOC, the next Legislature, and press.
Open action center →Full source catalog
92 public-safe artifacts with stable IDs, hashes, page counts, and source classes.
Open catalog →Corrections and adverse material
Public publication changes, methodology clarifications, privacy corrections, and right-of-reply controls.
Open corrections ledger →Method and public boundary
No substantive response located is used only when the review actually covers the relevant record. This release generally uses the narrower phrase no public-safe response artifact linked in the site record. That describes the publication record without pretending to prove private silence.
Automated replies, delivery receipts, and message multiplication are not treated as substantive responses or unique underlying events. Complaints and public letters are not findings. Cost figures from different buckets remain separate. Private child, medical, school, address, telephone, and sealed information are excluded.
