Dear FOIA Officer J. Piel;
Please see the attached proof of identity and notarized statement.
Once we establish these documents are acceptable we will then focus on the recovery and/or restoration of very specific items in the Daniel B. Karron investigative record;
specifically email not shared with the KARRON defense.
Specifically, we wish to establish the existence of the backup email
of the target Department of Commerce employees involved with the NIST ATP Computer-Aided Surgery grant and investigation from the period 2001 through 2007. Your predecessor Raman Santra indicated these archived email existed on archival media such as tapes or DVDs. The lifespan of these media may be about to be exceeded (Generally 10 years)
We have recovered our side of some of these email conversations, and some others that were admitted into discovery and evidence at the 2007-8 trial USA v KARRON.
We seek all the email that was not submitted that had anything to do with the KARRON case.
It is not up to the prosecutors to cherry-pick evidence and unilaterally make the determination of relevance or nonreference to the KARRON case.
here is no Statute of Limitations on this kind of inquiry or investigation (Brady v Maryland (1963) and et al)
We only wish at this time only to establish that these email backup archives exist, then estimate the cost of restoring the archive images.
This is because of their age, these backup media may need special forensic procedures to reliably restore.
If you are not careful with this old media, you may be responsible for damage or destruction this protected government records and information.
I look forward to working with you in the coming months in a professional and efficient investigation.
Sincerely,
Dr. DB Karron
