Good morning,

We are in receipt of your recent public information request with Hinds County Mississippi, concerning records from the Hinds County Coroner's Office beginning in 2016 through the present. We are currently processing your request, however, due to the large volume of the request and the limited staff of the Coroner's Office, it will take quite a while for fulfill your request.

Once I received those documents from the Coroner's Office, I will provide you with a copy. If there are any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Best regards,
