To Whom It May Concern:

The group is described as possessing a video camera.

In parallel, I also request records of an associated package being left for former EDNY Assistant United States Attorney Moira Penza "at her law firm address."

Upon information and belief, said demonstrators were instructed to perform said deliveries by Keith Raniere, a federal prisoner awaiting sentencing. They have referred to themselves by the names "We Are As You" and/or "Make Justice Blind."

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.
