From: Michael Morisy
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to Florida's Sunshine Law (Fla. Stat. secs. 119.01 to 119.15 (1995)), I hereby request the following records:
Copies of all reports, lists, or databases detailing the number and/or status of lawsuits brought against the city's police department since 2009. This should include requests for, or documentation of, funds used to cover settlement agreements, court costs, or other expenses related to lawsuits.
This request should be construed to include any document submitted to, compiled by, or in any way maintained by the department that lists lawsuits brought against the department between 2009 through the present. If a document exists that contains the requested information for some, but not all of the above mentioned years, please include that/those document(s).
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that fees cannot be waived, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I would request your response within ten (10) business days.
Sincerely,
Michael Morisy

Dear sir,
If you would read the response to your electronic mail dated May 29, 2015, it may provide you with a clearer picture of where your request is, and to whom your future correspondence should be addressed.
Continually emailing me will NOT provide you with the information that you have requested. Please email or telephone the person who responded to you and provide the clarification needed to process and provide you with the information that you have requested. I am not in a position to do so. As a result, contacting me is futile and will not help you in your endeavor to gather the information that you are attempting to gather.
