Dear Mr. Nathan,

We write in response to your August 10, 2017, FOIL request for:

"- a copy of all invoices or billing statements related to Empire State Development's contract with Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr LLP ("WilmerHale"), which began in or around July 2015."

Please find attached documents in respond to your request.
Please be advised that Public Officers Law § 87(2)(a) precludes access to records that are "specifically exempted from disclosure by state or federal statute." Accordingly, certain records that respond to your request have been exempted from production pursuant to Civil Practice Law and Rules §§ 3101(c) and 4503(a) because they constitute attorney work product or confidential communications made between an attorney and his or her client.
Please note that pursuant to Section 87(2)(b) of FOIL, we have redacted and withheld confidential information that "if disclosed would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy under the provisions of subdivision two of section eighty-nine of this article."

Please note that pursuant to Section 87(2)(i) of FOIL, we have redacted and withheld information that "if disclosed would jeopardize the capacity of an agency or an entity that has shared information with an agency to guarantee the security of its information technology assets, such assets encompassing both electronic information systems and infrastructures."

Pursuant to Public Officers Law § 87(2)(g) portions of the record have been redacted as inter-agency or intra-agency materials which are not: statistical or factual tabulations or data; instructions to staff that affect the public; final agency policy or determinations; or external audits including but not limited to audits performed by the comptroller and the federal government."

The appeals officer to whom you may direct an appeal of any portion of this determination is Julene Beckford, Associate Counsel to the New York State Urban Development Corporation d/b/a/ Empire State Development, 633 Third Avenue, 37th Floor, New York, NY 10017.
