Why have I yet to receive a legally mandated response to this request under 5 U.S.C. § 552? It's pretty basic! Do you assume I have no interest?

YES. MY INTEREST CONTINUES UNTO THE HEAT DEATH OF THE UNIVERSE. EOM.

Best regards,
Martin Peck

Mailing to a non-responsive known inactive address does not satisfy the legal requirements of 5 U.S.C. § 552.

Consider this my appeal of your illegal and spurious denial.

Please confirm receipt of this request.

Best regards,
Martin Peck
