Mr. Szoldra - Good morning. This is to acknowledge the receipt of you request and to let you
know that I am the analyst assigned for processing. Before we begin we will need you to be
more specific about the Marine Corps records you are seeking. The description of "all
documents" related to the Marine Corps' assistance with the Netflix film 'Purple Hearts' is
much too broad to be considered perfected.

We will hold your request in abeyance for 5 calendar days from the date of this email, pending
the receipt of additional details that may enable us to conduct a proper search.

If you consider this to be an adverse determination, it may be appealed directly within
FOIAonline or by writing to the Department of the Navy Office of the Judge Advocate General
(Code 14), 1322 Patterson Ave SE, Suite 3000, Washington Navy Yard, DC 20374-5066. Your
appeal, if any, must be postmarked within 90 calendar days from the date of this email and
should include a statement indicating why you believe it should be granted.

You also have the right to seek assistance and/or dispute resolution services from the
Department of the Navy FOIA Public Liaison, Mr. Christopher Julka, at (703-697-0031) or
Christopher.a.julka@navy.mil. You may also contact the Office of Government Information
Services for assistance and/or dispute resolution at ogis@nara.gov or (877) 684-6448.
