Hello Nadine,
Thank you for sending along these documents. Rather than filing an appeal, would it be possible to modify the second part of my request in accordance with the COOG opinion that you included in your response letter?
Perhaps I could resubmit the request as: documents maintained by DOCCS containing lists of publications not permitted in New York State prisons statewide.
Thanks,
Sam
