Dear FOIA Officer,
I hope this letter finds you well. On February 11, 2024, I submitted a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request regarding Vigilant Defender 23, which took place in Puerto Rico in 2023. The request sought records including after-action reports, evaluations, planning documents, correspondence, contracts, and briefing materials related to the exercise.
As of today, June 12, 2024, I have not received a response to my FOIA request nor any communication regarding the status of the request. Pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(6)(A)(i), agencies are generally required to respond to FOIA requests within 20 business days from the date of receipt. It has now been significantly beyond that timeframe.
Given the statutory requirements and the absence of any notification regarding an extension or the status of my request, I am concerned about the delay in processing my FOIA request. I respectfully request an immediate update on the status of my request and an estimated timeline for when I can expect to receive the responsive records.
If there are any issues or additional information needed to process my request, please do not hesitate to contact me at 787-449-4731 or carlosBP@protonmail.com. As a reminder, I am willing to pay reasonable fees associated with this request.
Please treat this communication as a formal follow-up to my original FOIA request. If I do not receive a response within a reasonable timeframe, I may consider pursuing appropriate legal remedies, including but not limited to filing a lawsuit to compel the agency's compliance with the FOIA.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. I look forward to your timely response.
Sincerely,
Carlos Berríos Polanco
