From: Office of the Mayor

The Mayor's Office (OOM) has denied your FOIL request FOIL-2018-002-00678 for the following reasons: (https://a860-openrecords.nyc.gov/request/view/FOIL-2018-002-00678)
Public Officers Law §89(3)(a) requires that a request “reasonably” describe the records sought. It is the requester's responsibility to frame requests with sufficient particularity to enable the searching agency to determine precisely what records are being requested.
The office cannot determine precisely what records you seek as no guidelines exist to define a “page” of email, e.g., whether page lengths of emails also include their attachments, or whether they include email headers, etc. Further, because emails are not maintained sequentially by page, it is impossible to precisely determine the two hundred sequentially ordered pages sought by your request. As such, your request is denied pursuant to Public Officers Law §89(3)(a).

Please visit FOIL-2018-002-00678 to view additional information and take any necessary action. You may appeal the decision to deny access to material that was redacted in part or withheld in entirety by contacting the agency's FOIL Appeals Officer: (https://a860-openrecords.nyc.gov/request/view/FOIL-2018-002-00678) foilappeal@cityhall.nyc.gov within 30 days.
