Mr. Lipton,

In your below email, you stated you want to revisit an old request. That request is considered closed.

You asked if we could provide a breakdown by facility?

The answer is that we can break the grievances down by facility.

Back on October 6, 2014, you were sent a cost estimate of $5,379.51 for the grievances you were requesting. That cost has not gone down and will possibly be higher now.

Do you wish to make a new request?

Shall I provide you with a new cost estimate?
