To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the New York State Freedom of Information Law (1977 N.Y. Laws ch. 933), I hereby request the following records:

Koweek, to not submit a potential criminal case against Ronald Foundation, Gary Gordon, or Shane Hug to a Grand Jury. This may include but not be limited to any intra-agency memoranda, worksheets or standard forms, and the letter sent by Czajka to defense attorneys on or around Oct. 5, 2017 described in the following Albany Times Union news article: <http://www.timesunion.com/news/article/Special-prosecutor-ends-Troy-911-case-12257927.php>.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Mr. Carlucci,

I have received your acknowledgment letter of Oct. 16 re: my FOIL request concerning the Troy 911 case.

I write to advise you of a minor error in the language of my initial request: the name "Ronald Foundation" should instead be "Ronald Fountain."

I apologize for this mistake, and thank you in advance for making this adjustment for the purposes of processing this FOIL request.

Thank you.

Hello,

I wanted to inquire as to the status of my Oct. 16, 2017 request for "any and all records that reflect or memorialize the decision, or any justifications or reasons for said decision, by Columbia County District Attorney Paul Czajka, named special prosecutor by state Supreme Court Justice Richard M. Koweek, to not submit a potential criminal case against Ronald Fountain, Gary Gordon, or Shane Hug to a Grand Jury."

More than twenty business days have passed since your office acknowledged it.

Thank you.

Koweek, to not submit a potential criminal case against Ronald Fountain, Gary Gordon, or Shane Hug to a Grand Jury."

To reiterate: More than twenty business days have passed since your office acknowledged the above-described FOIL request. I did not receive a response to my Nov. 30 email.

Thank you - Luke Nathan
