We hereby appeal the refusal to administratively reopen this request. It converts the agency action into a denial. Because the agency cloaked the denial as closure, it did not provide notification of the right to appeal the determination. Consequently, the denial is invalid. Please remand with instructions to the agency to administratively reopen and process this request.

Thank you,

Andrew Free
