Dear Mr. Wells,

I'm responding to your record request below on behalf of the Department of Land and Natural Resources.

Our Division of Conservation and Resource Enforcement (DOCARE) has located the record of your interest. However, we're not able to release it now. This case is still active and pending possible further enforcement action. As such, release of information at this point will frustrate government functions. Therefore, your request is denied. You may file another request in the future for us to reconsider if the case status is changed.

Thank you for your inquiry. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
