To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the New York Freedom of Information Law, I hereby request the following records:
1. Copies of all agency emails containing the non-case sensitive terms "Qanon", "Q anon", "The Great Awakening," or "Q Clearance Patriot." Please include the complete email exchange for each email, including any emails that are being replied to as well as any subsequent replies.
2. Copies of all reports, briefs, advisories, and/or memoranda relating to "Qanon".
This includes, but is not limited to, any records about Forrest Clark, the man accused of starting a wildfire in Southern California, that also mention Qanon. (https://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2018/08/09/holy-fire-suspect-refuses-court-orange-county/).
This could also include any reports about Jeffrey Boyd, charged with allegedly making threats against Donald Trump and who also made references to Qanon prior to his arrest (https://www.thedailybeast.com/qanon-referenced-by-man-arrested-for-threatening-to-kill-trump).
This could also include any records relating to two incidents of arrests in Arizona related to Qanon—Matthew Phillip Wright (parked his self-made armored car on the bridge next to the Hoover Dam) and Michael Lewis Arthur Meyer (occupied a cement plant). Both men were followers of the conspiracy theory. https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/politics/arizona/2018/08/07/qanon-ties-two-arizona-arrests-conspiracy-theory-trump/920336002/
Qanon refers to a conspiracy theory centered on Q, an online handle used on several image boards by a presumably American pseudonymous individual or group of individuals claiming to have access to classified information involving the Trump administration and its opponents in the United States.

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.
