Hello, I am writing to request a substantive status update providing a reason for the delays in the production of records. The court has recognized that unreasonable delays in producing records may hinder the public's right to access information, and it is essential to adhere to the principles of the California Public Records Act (CPRA) and related laws.
CPRA stipulates that when a request for records is made, agencies must respond promptly and provide access to records within a reasonable timeframe. Delays in producing records can be seen as a violation of the principles of transparency and accountability that underpin the CPRA.
As the agency has a legal obligation to produce records without unnecessary delay, I am looking for either a detailed status update for this request indicating when I can expect records, or the production of the responsive records themselves.
I'd like to solve this without a formal complaint or appeal. Could you please copy dhruv_mehrotra@wired.com to all further correspondence. Conde Nast's legal team is cc'd.
From: Muckrock Staff
To Whom It May Concern:
I'm following up on the following California Public Records Act request, copied below, and originally submitted on Aug. 3, 2023. You had previously indicated that it would be completed on Oct. 20, 2023. I wanted to check on the status of my request, and to see if there was a new estimated completion date. You had assigned it reference number #P000215-080323.

Their API document is public and may offer insights into the data stored: https://app.airdata.com/docs/api/ . AirData UAV is a California based company and therefore adheres to the highest data privacy standards such as CCPA and GDPR.
