Ms. Bernal-Leon,
I am going to need to amend Request No. R018507 once again.
Based on the latest communication from your office, you approximate the number of copies related to my request to about 600 with 7 hours to redact. I would like to amend the request to receive the latest 8 files the OAG has on file. This request should reduce the burden of producing the copies considerably.
Sincerely,
Stuart
