The timeframe is different.

From: Atlanta Police Department

Good afternoon,

Please submit new open records requests regarding your requests for email meta data.

I believe there were seven original requests, but you have responded to different email threads at different times, which have created new email threads. This has made it very difficult to track and fulfill your requests.

I want to ensure that I appropriately fulfill all of you open records requests.

Please keep in mind that the information released is preliminary in nature and could change as the investigation progresses or new information comes to light.
