I wanted to follow up on the following Virginia Freedom of Information Act request, copied below, and originally submitted on Feb. 7, 2020. Please let me know when I can expect to receive a response. You had assigned it reference number #2020-538.

Good Morning Mr. Nash,
Please see the attached documents. Please be aware that FOI2020-538 was closed out due to there being an overdue payment for FOI2019-4463 for $2.92. This bill has since been resolved, however, there is now an additional bill for $35.06 for FOI2020-1449 that is outstanding. I have enclosed the invoice and a copy of that request in the attachment. Once we receive payment in full for that request, you will need to <resubmit> your current request for use of force cases from 2013-2019 to VBPDFOIA@vbgov.com<mailto:VBPDFOIA@vbgov.com> . FOI2020-1783 will be closed out for the overdue payment of $35.06. A new FOIA number will be given to the new request, and we will work to fulfill the request within the 5 business day deadline, to not include holidays or weekends. Thank you and have a good day.

Please let me know, thank you.

Your account is now current, if you need documents from any previous requests that were denied, please send a new request.
