VII. Investigation — Procedural Demands

The Complainant respectfully requests that the Locally Designated Official, on receipt of this Sworn Retaliation Complaint:

1. Issue prompt written acknowledgment of receipt under § D.1.
2. Conduct preliminary review of the Sworn Statement, timeliness, and required allegations under § D.1.b.
3. Issue written notification of acceptance for processing under § D.1.d, identifying the assigned Retaliation Complaint Officer.
4. Conduct an interview of the Complainant pursuant to § D.4.a. The April 17, 2026 closure of CMP373 was issued without any interview of the Complainant; that procedural deficiency must not be repeated.
5. Issue the Policy 1100563 § D.4.c admonition to each accused employee and witness identified in this Complaint, including the duty to cooperate, the duty to preserve documents, and the prohibition on retaliation against witnesses. The February 9, 2026 written litigation hold (EX 20) is hereby renewed and extended to all UC employees, agents, and contracted parties identified in this Sworn Retaliation Complaint and all UCLA Compliance, UC Office of the President, UC Office of General Counsel, UC RASC, and Regents records pertaining to the matters described in Sections III and IV.
6. Confirm in writing the § D.4.e investigation-report deadline (six months from acceptance, extendable to twelve months total) and the § F Chancellor’s-decision deadline (eighteen months from initial filing).
7. If at any point the LDO determines the matter is one in which the LDO or UCLA Compliance has been substantively involved — given the April 17, 2026 closure of CMP373 by UCLA Compliance — refer the matter to the UCOP Systemwide LDO under Policy 1100563 § D.1.e or to an independent outside agency under UC Whistleblower Policy 1100171 § II.C.2.
