Someone has to own the hold, and the letter asked who. County Administrator Patrice Sutton received the July 16 enterprise-hold letter demanding an identified executive owner for a cross-platform litigation hold spanning EIT, departmental custodians, contract managers, Risk Management, and outside vendors. The Silence Ledger tracks the demand and the empty response column.
Why enterprise ownership matters
Evidence held across county departments and third-party vendors (Tyler, Journal Technologies) is preserved only if a single authority coordinates the hold under Rule 37(e). A failure of system-wide preservation is also where Monell record-systems liability under 42 U.S.C. § 1983 attaches.
