Hearing on USATF lawsuit is delayed till after indoor nationals
Just got this note from Charles Mosbrucker: “Hot off the presses! It appears that through the American Athletes League efforts the hearing set for March 9th has been postponed until after the Masters National meet . Despite this fact, USATF and INUSATF have still not come to the table with any reasonable solution to this situation. And INUSATF is continuing to refuse to provide the financial information which some of its members and Board members have requested. Stay tuned for more details. Check out the americanathletesleague.com website for more details as they become available.”

The Court granted the Indiana USATF Association motion to continue the hearing on Collesano’s motion for a preliminary injunction. The new hearing date is now set for May 2, 2012. USATF Indiana is not aware nor have we requested any assitance from the American Athletes League or Mr. Mosbrucker.
I am very interested in this because I have similarly been refused information from my British athletics bodies, primarily the British Masters Athletics Federation (BMAF) and consequently my British regional club the Southern Counties Veteran Athletics Association (SCVAC). In my case such a refusal is contrary to English law, The Data Protection Act (DPA), because I am a Data Subject of both BMAF and SCVAC, which are my Data Controllers. DPA gives me as a Data Subject a legal right to access my Personal Data, which it defines amongst other things as any “personal opinion” about the Data Subject filed by the Data Controller. In US law (state law?) does your Mr. Charles Mosbrucker have any equivalent right in law to the information he seeks from USATF and INUSATF by the terms of his injunction? Or his injunction entirely reliant on precedent and the discretion of the courts?
As to accessing information, another thing that aggravated my situation from the outset, without me really being aware of it, is that BMAF (Honorary Secretary Bridget Cushen) ruled that nobody in BMAF is to communicate with me. That infringes my human rights (and incidentally their human rights). Accordingly my question to my American friends is – could USATF similarly rule that nobody in USATF/INUSATF is to communicate with Mr. Mosbrucker? As in my case, that would prevent them from releasing information to him.
So……is the meet on or what?
