From: twitter.com/journo_anon Public Records Requester

We request under the San Francisco Sunshine Ordinance (Ordinance) and the California Public Records Act (CPRA), as an Immediate Disclosure Request:

an electronic copy, in the original electronic format, OR in the .EML format, OR the .MSG format (your choice), with all e-mail headers, metadata, attachments, appendices, exhibits, and inline images, except those explicitly exempted by the Ordinance, of:
- the email record having Message-Id:
20190418173050.839.30844@f720c6d2-4be2-4478-af65-b9b764b16768.prvt.dyno.rt.heroku.com
- the email record having Message-Id:
requests@muckrock.com

If you choose to convert emails, for example, to PDF or printed format, to easily redact them, you must ensure that you have preserved the full content of the original email record as retained by you, which contains many detailed headers beyond the generally used From/To/Subject/Sent/etc. If you instead provide PDFs or printed emails with only a few of the headers or lacking attachments/images, and therefore withhold the other headers/attachments without justification, you may be in violation of the Sunshine Ordinance.

From: San Francisco City Attorney

Dear Requester,

As explained previously, the immediate disclosure process is currently suspended, yet you continue to claim that your requests are immediate disclosure requests. Going forward we will endeavor to respond to your requests as soon as possible, but we are not required to treat them as immediate disclosure requests despite your efforts to label them as such. We will resume following the immediate disclosure process once that process is reinstated.

Sincerely,

They have now produced the information.
While they did in fact violate the law in not producing the information initially, I don't feel like spending more time on this one.
Please add this email into the file and then close file 20137.

I have plenty of other metadata complaints live if Herrera is going to go back to not providing metadata.

Thanks Ms. Leger.
