JudgeWatch,

We have processed a portion of your Open Records Request. Under Oklahoma law, our office is only legally required to provide in-person access to records during regular business hours. However, we, as a courtesy, are providing this batch of unprivileged, responsive records electronically.

These records are responsive to the appointment of Sheila Stinson. We are still processing your request as it pertains to other Oklahoma County district judges. Please let us know if you still desire documents related to these separate judicial appointments.

Best Regards,
