Ms. Wilson --

I'm writing with respect to a pending FOIA request made on my behalf by Nicole Kanu, an Arkansas resident. A copy of that request, made on August 18, 2021, may be found here: https://www.muckrock.com/foi/bigelow-10000/renewed-request-re-community-backlash-117890.

Arkansas law requires that records be produced within three days. Ark. Code Ann. ยง 25-19-105(e). Although some 42 days have lapsed since the request, I have not received an acknowledgment or any responsive records.

Can you apprise me as to when I can anticipate East End's compliance with its obligations under Arkansas' FOIA?

Regards,

Adam Steinbaugh
