To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the New York Freedom of Information Law, I hereby request the following records:

1.) Any and all police reports, complaints, and narratives regarding the street racing death of Dominic Cretacci & John Cretacci. According to the news article link below , "the Cretacci vehicle bumped Muhlbauer's car and careened into the oncoming station wagon driven by Mrs. Izzo's husband, Richard, 60. Muhlbauer told Lackawanna police he had been "racing" Cretacci and admitted to driving "at least" 60 to 65 mph in a 40 mph zone."
