From: Jimmy Tobias
Hello there,
I am writing to check on the status of this request. It has been almost eight months since I asked for Ms. Patenaude's calendar. I'd love to get my hands on it as soon as possible without having to appeal or turn to the courts. If you get a chance, could you let me know when I can expect to get these documents? Thank you so much for your help.
Sincerely,
Jimmy Tobias

Hello,
Your request asks for calendar entries of Pam Patenaude. It requires utilization of the Department's eDiscovery tool for a search for responsive records. The Department's eDiscovery tool is contracted with a third-party. The system utilized by this contractor auto-assigns a collection date on a first-in-first-out basis, and is capable of collecting records for a set number of custodians per day. As a result, the Department does not maintain direct control over the collection process and cannot alter the scheduled collection date for a particular request.
Given the high volume of requests for eDiscovery searches, the third-party system is operating at capacity with a significant backlog. Once the record collection has been completed, responsive records will be delivered to the FOIA Branch for review. At that time, we will work diligently to finalize your request as quickly as possible.
From: Jimmy Tobias
Thanks so much for the update and for explaining the eDiscovery tool. I appreciate it.
Under the FOIA law, however, as I understand it, federal agencies are required to produce records within a 20 day timeframe. It has been eight months. I'll hope to receive these records soon, but may be forced to seek relief.
Thank you again for your help.
Sincerely,
Jimmy Tobias

Hello,
You should receive a response by February 22, 2019.
From: Jimmy Tobias
Thank you very much for the update.
I will inform the Department shortly whether I plan to file litigation in response to the numerous other delays I have received in regard to related FOIA requests.
Sincerely,

If all your requests are related to emails and/or calendars the process is quite lengthy.
From: Jimmy Tobias
I sincerely appreciate the Department's FOIA team working on my requests, and I understand that it is laboring under a variety of constraints, but at this point the Department is in pretty severe violation of the time requirements laid out in FOIA and I am afraid I am going to have to turn to the courts to get the matter sorted out. I am certainly willing to wait until February to receive all of the documents and calendars I have requested, but if I haven't received them by then I will likely have to take a different course of action.
Thank you again for your help on this!

All muckrock requests are waiting in the queue to reach the front of the line for the contractor to apply the submitted keywords.
I will receive a notification when the contractor starts working on the keyword request and then a final notification when the data is ready.
When they have reached that point I will send you notification with an estimated date when the data will be ready for me to review.
