To Whom It May Concern:
This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:
Per the attached document, this request has already been referred to the Federal Bureau of Prisons and assigned tracking number EMRUFOIA102215-1. If the BOP could assign this request a unique tracking number, that would be much appreciated.
Any and all records from the last ten years pertaining to the investigation, arrest, and prosecution of Matthew Keys, former Reuters social media editor, in relation to the hacking of Tribune Media Company servers, the defacement of the websites of publications owned by Tribune Company, and Keys' collusion with the collective of hackers popularly referred to as "Anonymous" (or any other potentially radical internet-based groups). Any records regarding attempts at hacking the Tribune Media Company servers in general, any possible Anonymous activity as it relates to Tribune Media Co. or the LA Times, and most specifically a transcript of the proceedings of the prosecution of Matthew Keys and any possible appeals.
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 fees cannot be waived, 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.
Sincerely,
Lukas Knight

http://www.bop.gov/iloc2/LocateInmate.jsp
The website contains information on the current prison population and on inmates released from 1982 - present. If your request is for information available on the website, this is the only response you will receive. If you are unable to access the information via the website you may resubmit your request, however, please specify that you were unable to obtain the information from the website. In order that we may continue to provide needed information in a quick and efficient manner, please also indicate why you could not obtain the information from the site.
Additionally, the database we use in our office to search for inmate information is the same database used on our website. If your search results in "NO RECORD FOUND," there is no further search our office can conduct that will provide a different response.
If you are requesting information that is not available via the Inmate Locator, (Inmate register numbers, age, race, sex, projected release date and location, or date released) please be advised that an original release Authorization from that person that is either notarized or contains a penalty of perjury statement is required.

I spoke with the Mail Referral Unit and they will be sending you an updated letter today. This was not sent to the Federal Bureau of Prisons and you will be advised of the agency it was sent to on the letter. Therefore, we are not processing this request.
Thanks,
C. Treadway
