To Whom It May Concern:

This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:

A copy of the "vexsome filer list" which may also be known as a "serial filer list" or a "nuisance filer list." Include any other list of FOIA requesters used by your agency which lists FOIA requesters because of the quantity or type of FOIA requests they have submit or any other FOIA related behavior. Additionally, please include all records which mention when or how to add or remove a person from any of these lists or how being on such a list affects processing requests from listed requesters.

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

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 look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days, as the statute requires.

Sincerely,

Jason Smathers

David,

I am in receipt of the two responsive pages to request 1157293-000, SERIAL FILER LIST. You released a two page list. Part of my initial request was for: "all records which mention when or how to add or remove a person from any of these lists or how being on such a list affects processing requests from listed requesters."

Please conduct an addition search for these records. It is reasonable to assume that since the list exists, there are records concerning how to use the list.

Thank you.

Best Regards,
Jason Smathers
