For ease, I am copying the message previously sent.

The Department of Correction (DOC) has closed your FOIL request FOIL-2020-072-00080 for the following reasons:

Your request under the Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) has been reviewed and the documents you requested have been posted on the OpenRecords portal.

I appeal the agency's determination in FOIL-2020-072-00080 on grounds that the agency's response is improper. To wit, the individual responding to my request is marking my request as complete and saying they are providing documents without actually providing a single document.

The agency is either making a mistake, in which I am demanding the actual documents promised; or they are purposely marking a rejected request as completed, in which case I demand to know on what grounds.
