Pursuant to 19-651, attached are documents responsive to your IPRA request.

Due to the security concerns for the inmate, the location of the prison where he is housed has been redacted.

In all of the documents being provided, personal identifier information (social security numbers, day and month of the DOB of the inmate and his visitors and relatives, etc.) has been redacted pursuant to Sections 14-2-1 (B) and 14-2-6 (E); and personal or home addresses and phone numbers of the inmate and his visitors and relatives has also been redacted pursuant to Section 14-2-6 (G) (Record must relate to public business to be defined as a public record) and the Attorney General's Inspection of Public Records Act Compliance Guide, Eighth Edition, pages 25-27 (Agency can deny a request for personal contact information because the record does not relate to public business, as it does not reveal anything about the official acts of the employees or the operations or activities of the agency).

There are no discipline documents, no grievances and no phone calls.
The Department has now fully responded to your request as it understands it. NMCD designated IPRA custodian of records, Andrew Kuhlmann, is responsible for any denial contained herein.
