Joseph,

Is there something I should be responding to? The last correspondence I have seen on this matter was your November 27, 2019 e-mail saying "Matthew, this is #64 of 125 pending complex requests. Wr/JRS." If there has been subsequent correspondence from you on this, I have not seen it. Could you please send it again?

Thank you.

Matthew Hoppock

From: Department of Justice, Executive Office for Immigration Review

No problem, below is what I sent. Alternately, if you could narrow the e-mail senders/recipients (similar to 2019-37041, that I just released) that could also help to reasonably describe the documents requested. Wr/JRS

Matthew, we received your request for Chairman David Neal's emails and a preliminary search by date range pulled up over 500 e-mails.

Your request, as written, is vague and overbroad. Please provide a topic I can search for. You don't have to be specific, but I do need a general subject to perform a search.

If I don't hear from you within 10 business days, I will assume you no longer need this information and close your case administratively.
Thanks!

Matthew, please see FOIA response attached.
