Hello,

I first submitted my request on May 26 of 2023.

On January 9th, 2024 I was notified that my records request had been reassigned to another case worker.

It is now March 15th, ten months since I submitted my request.

Please provide the records responsive to my request, as required by Louisiana Public Records Law.
