Okla. Stat. tit. 20, app I R. 2

Current through Laws 2024, c. 378.
Rule 2 - Monitoring Use of OCIS and Investigation of Inappropriate Use

The Oklahoma Supreme Court's Management Information Services (MIS) monitors transmissions or requests originating inside and outside of OCIS, and has discretion to block access or take any other appropriate action necessary to protect OCIS upon discovery of the inappropriate activity. When MIS takes specific action to protect OCIS from such transmissions or requests it shall report the action taken to the Administrative Director of the Courts.

The resources governed by these Rules are the property of the State of Oklahoma and are provided to assist users in performing their jobs. There is no expressed or unexpressed pretext of confidentiality. Users should keep in mind that anything created or stored in the computer system may, and likely will, be reviewed by others, and by using such resources the user consents to such reviews. However, storage of court data, including emails or other records, on network servers or other locations which may be monitored or accessed by MIS personnel shall not operate to waive any applicable confidentiality, privilege, or other protection governing public disclosure.

While MIS monitors the use of transmissions on OCIS, routine reviews or judgments regarding the content of information transmitted on OCIS will not be made. However, personnel of MIS designated by the Administrative Director of the Courts shall investigate complaints of possible inappropriate use. Additionally, possible inappropriate use of OCIS that comes to the attention of personnel of MIS in the course of their duties shall be investigated by personnel of MIS designated by the Administrative Director of the Courts. The uses reviewed can include, but are not limited to, any and all materials created, stored, sent, or received on the computer, Internet and e-mail usage, Instant Messaging sessions, and usage detail on mobile computing devices such as Court-supplied PDA phones, cellular modems, and laptops/tablets.
