FBI: The New Order (TNO)

To Whom It May Concern:

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, I hereby request the following records:

Any documents pertaining to the investigation of a hacking group called "The New Order" (TNO), that operated in Denver, Colorado in the late 80's and early 90's. This includes any documents pertaining to the investigation, search & seizure, detainment, and/or arrest of members operating under the handles Deadkat (a.k.a. Tone Def), Disorder (a.k.a Damanstian), Voyager, The Public, Cavalier, Rage-303 (a.k.a. GameMaster S.H., Purple Star, Q TaK), Panther Modern (a.k.a.

The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 20 business days, as the statute requires.

Mr. Seidel,

Thank you for your explanation on the status of this request. Per your letter, the "Unusual Circumstances" include one or more of the following scenarios:

- There is a need to search for and collect records from field offices and/or other offices that are separate from the FBI Record/Information Dissemination Section (RIDS).
- There is a need to search for, collect, and examine a voluminous amount of separate and distinct records.
- There is a need for consultation with another agency or two or more DOJ components.

Without knowing which of these apply it is difficult to reduce the scope of the request.

If the circumstance is #3, that it involves two or more DOJ components, can you inform me which agencies are involved? It is my understanding that asking the FBI would limit the scope to your agency and not cross to others.

For the purpose of this request, please reduce the scope to any information from the Denver FBI office between 1988 and 1996.

Thank you,

Brian Martin
