RE: New FOIA for proof of death to meet FBI requirements to request other documents concerning individuals in previous request.

Dear Supposedly Public Servants

I make this request with clarifying the public interest – FOIA request are in the public interest when they expose government activity and or government wrong doing. This request is through MuckRock an online news organization that assist with FOIA request in order to get as complete response as possible in the most expedited process possible. Melissa. Figueroa FOIA Analyst April 26, 2019 Requested payment of $35,175.00, upon limiting scope of request Tammy A. Warner Information Disclosure Specialist FOIA Public Liaison in
May 15, 2019 letter claimed that I would have to follow Privacy act requirements as if requested documents were for myself and not mostly deceased individuals - I limited request to fi-for duty letters (that most likely would have wrong address for the exams on them).

1.Postal Shooting incidents:

b. https://www.reviewjournal.com/crime/shootings/1-year-after-las-vegas-shooting-survivors-still-seek-help/ 1

2.Failure of Investigations in to mass shootings to find motives for actions (see 1. b. above “...a motive. The FBI is still trying to figure it out.”)
Failure of law enforcemnt (FBI and USPS Inspection Service) investigations into "postal shootings" to investigate and inform public of games the USPS managers and psychiatrist played to drive people into psychosis.

I'm requesting Investigation records of the following individuals that were USPS employees that went “postal” all but one or two are deceased from their very notorious act of going “postal” for any living I claim public interest outweighs any privacy concerns in fact if living this information would be beneficial to these individuals and their legal representatives) FOR VERIFICATION SEE https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_postal_killings. In additional confirmation see https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2012/12/mass-shootings-mother-jones-full-data/3/ (with MJ# after each person in list) also see https://www.nydailynews.com/news/crime/worst-postal-worker-related-incidents-article-1.2826721.

It was later found that Deshaune was the victim of years of harassment and threatened termination from the office postmaster.

I maintain that because the above request public interest outweighs privacy concerns because "mental illness" is 150 billion dollar fraud a year (being based on false theories). With all but two or three in request number being dead and thus privacy issues greatly diminished. Vince Foster2 case cited by USPS previously should be noted only prevented the release of some of the most gruesome death photos not all of them in addition I believe the family along with many of the individuals do not have any knowledge that the USPS routinely gave wrong address to fit for duty exams and therefore the correct case law to consider is Lepelletier v. FDIC, 977 F. Supp. 456 (D.D.C. 1997)3. Such information concerning Mr. Stewart would be extremely valuable to his defense.

The requested documents may be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request . I would prefer the request filled electronically to MuckRock, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Moore 315 689-9197 – my expertise's is personal experience and research that has include observation and discussion with many, Numerous friends including psychiatrist, nurses, attending USPS consultant Dennis Johnson's presentation (in which I figured out what a snake oil salesman he is), Locating NY DOH information on USPS psychiatrist Dr. Andrus drug problems ...

Concerning burdensome searches I suggest the USPS review the NSA case concerning a very " voluminous amount of records" FOIA request https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/3512610/NSA-Stay-Petition.pdf From NSA court action -

“ identifying responsive documents was a relatively
simple exercise, yet resulted in a voluminous amount of records”, “ the Court order the Agency to process no more than
400 pages of potentially responsive documents per month.”

“This phase of the process is extremely timeconsuming,
as each responsive document must be reviewed page-bypage,
line-by-line, and word-by-word to determine which, if any,
FOIA and/or Privacy Act (“PA”) exemptions may apply. This
includes recommending redactions of exempt material and notating
the applicable exemption(s) in the margin of each page, or
deleting pages when they are withheld in their entirety.”

Below please find supporting website for my FOIA request such as proof of death of Mr. Paddock on Las Vegas Police Metro Department Web Site (thus no denial for privacy).

https://www.fbi.gov/services/records-management/foipa/requesting-fbi-records This section is for FBI request not USPS request

A deceased individual:

If your request is for information concerning a deceased individual, you must provide proof of death. Acceptable forms of proof of death include obituaries, death certificates, recognized sources that can be documented, written media, Who’s Who in America, an FBI file that indicates a person is deceased, date of birth is 100 years or greater, or Social Security Death Index page.
State how much you are willing to pay for duplication fees if any are assessed. Refer to the U.S. Department of Justice FOIA Reference Guide.

A spokesperson for the Office of Personnel Management told The Associated Press on Tuesday that Stephen Paddock worked as an agent for the Internal Revenue Service in its auditing department and was also a letter carrier for the U.S. Postal Service. The spokesperson said Paddock worked as a mailman for the USPS for two years from 1976-1978 and then worked for the IRS for six years until 1984. After that, he worked as a defense auditor, a job he held for about 18 months, the spokesperson said.

Establishing good communication and working cooperatively with FOIA requesters is a very simple and yet essential element to ensuring that each agency’s FOIA process is working in accordance with the President’s and Attorney General’s directives. There are a number of areas where improved communication with FOIA requesters holds great promise for improving FOIA administration.
Providing Agency Contact Information
OIP has long advised agencies to provide each FOIA requester with the name and phone number of the FOIA professional handling his or her request. Although many agencies already routinely provide such contact information to FOIA requesters, all agencies should ensure that they do so. This is a fundamental courtesy which should readily be extended to all FOIA requesters.
Discussing the Scope and Status of the Request
The FOIA has a number of provisions that require agencies to contact requesters. Whenever a request involves "unusual circumstances" and the agency determines that it must extend the time to respond by more than ten working days, the agency is required to notify the requester and give him or her an opportunity to limit the scope of the request or to arrange for an alternative time to process it. The FOIA also requires agencies to establish a telephone line or Internet service to provide requesters with the status of their requests. In carrying out these statutory requirements agencies should ensure that their communication with requesters is prompt and helpful. Good communication with requesters can also be exceedingly helpful in those instances where an agency is uncertain about the scope of what is being requested. By engaging in a dialogue with the requester, both parties can ensure that they have a common understanding of what records are being sought. Similarly, when a request will involve a far-ranging or time-consuming search, it is often helpful to contact the requester to discuss what steps will be involved in order to process that particular request. Often these conversations will allow the FOIA requester and the FOIA professional to collaborate on a plan for responding to a complex request. Many times FOIA requesters do not know how agency records are organized or what might be involved in searching for the records they seek. Having the ability to talk through an approach to the request and reach an understanding can be very helpful to both the requester and the agency.
Making Interim Responses as Processing Proceeds
When an agency is working on a request that involves a voluminous amount of material or which involves searches in multiple locations, whenever feasible, the agency should provide the requester with interim responses rather than waiting until all records are located and processed. Although there are situations where records need to be reviewed in their totality to ensure proper handling, in other cases rolling releases of records are possible. Whenever such rolling releases are possible the agency should make them to facilitate access to the requested records

From http://nsarchive.gwu.edu/nsa/foia/foia_guide/foia_guide_chapter6.pdf
,if there has been no agency action on the request). It is important to note that when an agency does not respond to a request at all and no administrative appeal is filed within six
years, the statute of limitations has expired, and the requester will not be permitted to file a lawsuit. However, the requester may simply refile the same request and then litigate the agency’s failure to respond and/or subsequent denial.
in USPS handbook “Handbook AS-353, Guide to Privacy, the Freedom of Information Act, and Record Management, § 4-2.1.a.” “If necessary, the custodian may ask the requester for more information” (Previous denials I was not asked for any more information

from: EL-860-2000-7
Notifying the Employee of the Examination The occupational health nurse administrator, or designee, notifies the labor relations specialist of the scheduled examination. The labor relations specialist, or other person designated by the Human Resources manager, notifies the employee’s supervisor in writing of the examination appointment. The employee is notified by mail and, if practicable, by personal delivery from the supervisor. The letter to the employee must include information concerning the reasons the fitness-for-duty examination is necessary.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.
