Last I knew... no can do unless the user's data was in a specific backup job (in which case you can expire that job prematurely).
We had a similar legal requirement in which we were required to remove data. The best we could do was to develop and write a new VM:Backup exit which prevented restore of specific userid and minidisk (fortunately did not have to deal with SFS spaces) backed up on specific dates. I *think* that I opened a DAR with CA for a supported capability to do this, or remove such backups from an existing catalog and tapes (a much bigger job). I can share the new exit if you want it.
