reason for the request is not required to be disclosed.”); Fla. R. Jud. Admin. 2.420
(b)(3) (“‘Custodian.’ The custodian of all administrative records of any court is the
chief justice or chief judge of that court, except that each judge is the custodian of
all records that are solely within the possession and control of that judge.”).
