Dear Mr. Sheats,
You sent in, on March 1st and March 2nd, two duplicate requests, so we only entered one of them into our system. It was the other one, associated with MuckRock email address requests@muckrock.com (cc'd here), that we acknowledged on March 16, 2020.
We had assigned it FOIA Request Control Number OS-2020-00346.
I've attached the acknowledgement letter again, for reference.
Please let us know if you have further questions.
Thank you,
Emily Karp
