Communications

From: Shawn Musgrave

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the New York State Freedom of Information Law (1977 N.Y. Laws ch. 933), I hereby request the following records:

Copies of NYPD responses to the Public Advocate's April 2013 FOIL report (http://archive.advocate.nyc.gov/foil/report), as well as communications between the Public Advocates office and NYPD

I also request that, if appropriate, fees be waived as I believe this request is in the public interest. The requested documents will be made available to the general public free of charge as part of the public information service at MuckRock.com, processed by a representative of the news media/press and is made in the process of news gathering and not for commercial usage.

In the event that fees cannot be waived, 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,

Shawn Musgrave

Good afternoon Mr. Musgrave,

Thank you for your email. Please be advised that we are conducting a
diligent search to determine whether the Office of the Public Advocate has
documents that respond to your Freedom of Information Law (FOIL) request
PA-2014-0009.

I am writing for clarification regarding the second part of your inquiry.
Specifically, you write "as well as communications between the Public
Advocates (sic) and the NYPD." Are you requesting only potential
communication related to then-Public Advocate Bill de Blasio's April 2013
report "Breaking Through Bureaucracy: Evaluating Government Responsiveness
to Information Requests in New York City"?

Sincerely,
Umair

From: Shawn Musgrave

Hi Umair,

Apologies for the delay in response. Yes, you can limit the second part to
communications related to then-Public Advocate Bill de Blasio's April 2013
report.

Best,
Shawn
