Florida Malpractice and Medical Licensing Data

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to Florida's Sunshine Law (Fla. Stat. secs. 119.01 to 119.15 (1995)), I hereby request the following records:

A copy of any databases that contain, track, or otherwise indicate settled malpractice cases or allegations, medical license revocations or suspensions, and other actions or proposed actions taken against medical professionals by the state that could potentially impact the ability of medical professionals to operate within the state of Florida lawfully.

I request versions of this database that were created or updated between the year 2008 and the date that this request is processed.

One such database was referenced in the following Department of Justice report:

http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pdf/mmicss04.pdf

I believe other, related databases are likely to exist.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I would request your response within ten (10) business days.

Sincerely,

Michael Morisy
