Mica,

I received another FOIA request from you regarding Yelp, Inc. Once again, would you care to narrow down the range of your request so it can be processed in a timely manner? Thank you.

Hi Jason,
I did not intend to include yelp, Inc amongst my requests. I wanted to put in google.com.
I was concerned at google's book copying enterprise between
2007 and 2014?
The computer crashed when I just tried to modify my request on Amazon.com to number 13 on your product list regarding complaints on the advertising and sales of books.
Many thanks
Mica Jay

Hi, Mica,

That is fine. I will withdraw your Yelp request, but for the Google request, you will have to file a new request. We are unable to link previous requests with new ones. The requests have to have a fresh FOIA number. Thank you sir. Have a great holiday.
