Hello,
Please reference the letter you previously received and direct your inquiry to the paralegal or attorney that was assigned to handle your FOIA request. That person’s information was provided in the letter that you were sent for your convenience. I am working from home most days due to Covid-19. I don’t have access to any records or their turnaround time.
Have a great day,
Angela T. Jones
