Mr. Lesser,

A response to FOIL #14-162 will pertain to your requests for a listing of every officer and/or employee of OCFS, including name, office address, title and salary, and a log of all requests for agency records under the Freedom of Information Law received over the past three years, or as far back as such records are maintained. The Office is currently processing FOIL #14-162, and will respond to you in as timely a manner as possible.

Best,

Mr. Lesser,

I see that you received a five-day response on 12/29/14 that said, “The Office expects to either admit or deny your request, either in whole or in part, within 20 business days of today’s date.” It has not yet been 20 business days. Our Records Access Officers will be in touch as this date approaches. Thank you always for your patience.
Best,

Mr. Lesser,

I received this email from you this morning:

“This is a follow up to a previous request:

Hello —

Once again, per our records, the present request for the FOIL log maintained by OCFS has never been acknowledged or completed. Please advise.

Thank you.”

I have forwarded the response about FOIL 14-162 that I sent you on January 20. I see that you sent another email on January 21, but I thought maybe you had missed the one I sent you the day before since it references the same FOIL request. You’ll notice that I have sent this to all of the email addresses from which you have sent correspondence to make sure you receive this.
Thanks,
Casey

Mr. Lesser,

Please see the attached letter regarding an extension on your FOIL request, #14-162.

Hi Mr. Lesser,

The letter sent to you on January 28 indicated an extension of the response period for an additional 20 business days as we are still in the gathering and reviewing document phase of your FOIL request. Today marks ten business days. Our Records Access Officers will be in touch as the end of the extension period approaches.

Hope this helps. Thanks as always for your patience.
Best,
Casey

I just realized my typo – it’s a 60-day extension, not 20. I apologize for my error.

Hi Mr. Lesser,

The letter sent to you on January 28 extended the response period by 60 business days. Our Records Access Officers will be in touch when they are done gathering and reviewing documents, and are ready to release responsive documents. Thank you for understanding.
Best,
Casey

A copy of documents responsive to the request.

A cover letter granting the request and outlining any exempted materials, if any.
