Good Afternoon,
As we began to complete your request we realized it would be much more labor intensive then we originally thought. You requested all complaints from 2013-2018. It appears that will be approximately 1500 complaints. Your #7 and #8 requests will also be labor intensive. Thus, I'm unable to give you an time frame on when your request will be completed.

Since the initial deposit has been exhausted, please let us know if you wish for us to continue if so a new deposit of $500 will be needed to proceed. As indicated in a response to you back on September 24th certain items of this request are labor intensive and therefore no time frame can be provided for the completion of this request.
