Your request was referred to JMD by the Office of Information Policy.

JMD FOIA TRACKING NUMBER: 109900

Dear Mr. Morisy:

I am writing on behalf of the Justice Management Division (JMD) of the
U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) to acknowledge receipt of your Freedom
of Information (FOIA) request on 10/24/2017.

Your request was referred to JMD by the Office of Information Policy.
Their identifying tracking number was AG/14-00302 (F).

For your information, the Justice Management Division assigns incoming
requests to one of three tracks: simple, complex, or expedited. Each
request is then handled on a first-in, first-out basis in relation to
other requests in the same track. Simple requests usually receive a
response in approximately one month whereas complex requests
necessarily take longer. At this time, your request has been assigned
to the Complex track. Please note that as a general matter, records in
the Department are decentralized and our response will only cover
information originating with or relating to JMD. If you are seeking
information originating with or relating to other components of the
Department, please make a FOIA request directly to those components.

If you have a question about the status of your FOIA request, you may
contact this office by emailing JMDFOIA@usdoj.gov
