Hello,
I received your letter requesting a update on your FOIA Request. A letter was sent out on 9/8/21 for the amount of $20.81. Once we receive a check we will send out the request.
You also sent a request in 2020 that you never paid for. If you like its $9.79 for that FOIA request.
Have a great day!
