Hi Michael,
I have another of your requests for possible negotiation. Would you be willing to narrow this one, perhaps? Do you have a time frame that you are interested in?
Talk soon,

Hi Michael,
Hadn't heard back, so just wanted to follow up on this one.
Thanks!

From: Bronson, Rebecca (RMD) (FBI)
Hi Michael,
Hadn't heard from you and just wanted to follow up.
Thanks!
Becki
From: Michael Best
Sorry about that, Becki - unfortunately some emails seem to have gotten lost in the shuffle!
Unfortunately, he's a central figure to my research and keeps popping up in it throughout his professional life. If, looking through the file, there's anything that seems like it couldn't really be of interest, I'd be willing to consider excluding it based on that topic or time frame - but I can't imagine what that would be.
As always, thanks.
Mike
From: Bronson, Rebecca (RMD) (FBI)
Hi Mike,
Taking a look at the files, if we eliminate the HQ files, which duplicate the field office files and eliminate the subfiles in the field office files, which contain information duplicated in the main sections of the file, we can get the request down to 959 pages. I would recommend eliminating another 9 pages so we can get the request out of the large track. There are enough administrative pages (covers of envelopes containing stuff within the file, things like that) that we can eliminate to get you down below 950. You wouldn’t miss anything important. What do you say?
Best,
Becki

Becki,
If the HQ files are all duplicates, then I'm fine with getting rid of them along with some of the administrative pages you mention.
Thanks so much! =)

Sounds great – we will go ahead and put that through.

A copy of documents responsive to the request.
From: Michael Best
I am appealing the FBI's decision to review less pages than we agreed upon. 2,432 pages were located. I agreed to pay for all of them. I was contacted by a negotiator who convinced me to reduce the request to 950 pages by eliminating duplicate sections and administrative cover pages. Despite this, only 580 pages were reviewed. This is not what was agreed upon.

DOJ-AP-2017-000764 has been processed with the following final disposition: Closed for other reasons -- Other -- No Component Response to Adjudicate.
From: Michael Best
I am appealing the integrity and necessity of all redactions for all documents released thus far in the process.
From: Michael Best
I am appealing the integrity of the search and the decision to provide fewer than the total number of agreed upon pages out of the many more pages that were available for review. According to their latest letter, there is no indication of later releases. Further, one release said that 20 pages were enclosed - however they were not.
From: MuckRock
Hi there,
A letter received from your office stated that 20 pages would be released in relation to 1342469-001. However, no such materials were included with the email communication. Could you please resend the available responsive materials?
Thanks so much for your help,
Beryl, MuckRock
