To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the New York Freedom of Information Law, I hereby request the following records:
The complete disciplinary record of Sgt. Justin D. Ellis and all disciplinary records that identify Ellis as a subject. For specificity and to rule out duplicates, Ellis may be identified by Shield Number 18965.
In accordance with the Freedom of Information Law as amended by Chapter 96 of the Laws of New York of 2020, records that may be released include "the complaints, allegations, and charges against an employee; the name of the employee complained of or charged; the transcript of any disciplinary trial or hearing, including any exhibits introduced at such trial or hearing; the disposition of any disciplinary proceeding; and the final written opinion or memorandum supporting the disposition and discipline imposed including the agency's complete factual findings and its analysis of the conduct and appropriate discipline of the covered employee."
Under precedent, Freedom of Information Law uses a "balancing test" method of weighing privacy interests favoring redaction/denial against the public interest in favor of disclosure. This matter is of clear public interest for the following reasons: Ellis has been publicly accused of discharging a firearm in an off-duty felony assault in the County of Nassau.
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.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 5 business days, as the statute requires.
Sincerely,
T. McElwee
