HOA Refuses Access to Books and Records - Something's Hinky - Need Motion and Order

The HOA has been ignoring virtually all aspects of their CCRs and Maryland Law. I served as witness in two court cases so far regarding the HOA CCRs being "unenforceable" and will do so again as needed. I'm trying to find out just how bad the HOA situation is and the Board President has flat out told me that they will not give me access to the "Books and Records". He claims that the current Board did not receive any documents from prior Boards (I know this is false). Even if that's true, they should at least have their own records then... The community was founded more than 50yrs ago, CCRs and MD Law require documents to be kept and made available. There should be tons of information accumulated over that period.

Relevant references to Books and Records and access in MD Law are:
§ 11-116 for Condo's & 
§ 11B-112 for HOAs

I'm looking for a couple of examples of court filings for Motion and Order to compel the HOA to provide access to Books and Records. I can probably modify examples from any state, I'm just looking for a pattern that has worked elsewhere.
