Dear Robert,
I have been asked to respond to your email below, which I learned of and received today August 13, 2015. I am sorry for any delay. My client is determining whether it has responsive material at this time. If it does, it will provide that material subject to any exemptions for privileged or confidential information as provided by existing law. I will follow up with you shortly to let you know whether the Agency has any material that is responsive, and whether it will be redacting or withholding anything. You can seek further information by emailing me directly, consistent with our public records act request policy on our website and linked here for your convenience. http://resources.ca.gov/docs/Public_Records_Access_Guidelines_-final_web.pdf

Dear Robert,
I am doing my best to determine what if anything here is responsive. Please note, I am the only attorney who works on these here, and I have worked very little on this matter, so I am seeking information to ensure you receive a complete response. I will make every effort to let you know by COB Monday whether there is material and provide it to you.
Sincerely,
HB
