To Whom It May Concern:
This is an appeal of FY14-10FEB2014-32, in which USNORTHCOM has rejected my request for the releasable portions of CONPLAN 3502: Civil Disturbance Operations.
In the attached letter, Major General Luckey claims that the requested document is "deliberative in nature." The requested document is an approved operational plan, and thus hardly deliberative. Furthermore, USNORTHCOM has released another CONPLAN — CONPLAN 3501-08 — in full. Major General Luckey considered that CONPLAN to be "fully releasable" in the attached letter from August 2012. While it is impossible for me to assess whether CONPLAN 3502 is fully releasable, it stands to reason that there are releasable portions of this CONPLAN.
For this and any other reasons deemed relevant by the appeals authority, I appeal this rejection and request release of CONPLAN 3502 under the FOIA.
Best,
Shawn Musgrave
From: USNORTHCOM - US Northern Command
