Mr. Hoover,

As to the portion of your request seeking the personnel file for Demetrius Haley, please be advised that pursuant to a Court order these records are not subject to release at this time.

As to the portion of your request seeking "complaints," please be advised clarification is needed as to the type of "complaints" which you are seeking. Pursuant to the Tennessee Public Records Act, Tenn. Code Ann. ยง 10-7-503(a)(4), record requests must be sufficiently detailed to enable the governmental entity to identify the responsive records sought for production. In this instance without further information, Shelby County Government is unable to identify the responsive records sought for production because your request is not specific enough as to the type of "complaints" which you are seeking for production. You may provide clarification to our office at: publicrecords@shelbycountytn.gov<mailto:publicrecords@shelbycountytn.gov>. Failure to do so in seven business days will result in the closure of your file.

Thank you.

Kindest regards,
