Hello,
Thank you for the update. I wanted to mention that the statute requires a response within 10 days. I did not receive a response or notice that additional time is required within these 10 days.
Given the costs, would it be possible to limit the search period to January 1, 2015 to January 1, 2016.
Thank you,
