From: George Johnston

To Whom It May Concern:

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

I seek all complaints filed against FORMER ESU Officer Mario Stewart. ยง 50-a of the New York State Civil Rights Law permits law enforcement officers to refuse disclosure of "personnel records used to evaluate performance toward continued employment or promotion." Mr. Mario Stewart is no longer employed by the city of Mount Vernon; therefore, there is no longer any need to shield personnel records used to evaluate performance toward continued employment or promotion.

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 there are fees, 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 look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

George Johnston

From: Mount Vernon City Police Department
