Good Morning Samuel Sinyangwe:
We are still in process of your request for the complaints part of your request which you had made payment for. My supervisor has estimated that it will take about 2 weeks to process the voluminous amount of records. It might be less time, but we didn't want to under estimate. We will continue to keep you updated.
If you have any questions, or wish to discuss this further, please contact me at 972-292-6061.

Mr. Sinyangwe,
We are still in the process of reviewing and redacting the documents responsive to your request. I spoke with Beryl Lipton last week about whether you would accept redactions for certain exceptions to the disclose of the information (mental health, juvenile offenders, etc.). Ms. Lipton stated she believed you would accept redactions as long as you were provided the reason. She stated she would pass along the message to you and you would follow up. Can you confirm if in fact you will agree to redactions as long as you are provided the reason? If so, we will continue to process your request and provided you with a list of the necessary redactions at release. Please feel free to call me at 972-292-6059 if you have any questions. Thanks!
