Hi Mike,
Just following up again.
Thanks!

From: Michael Best
Becki,
Sorry - I need the entire thing. The file was previously processed and released, so would it be possible to get a two tiered released, starting with the previously released portions?
Mike
From: Bronson, Rebecca (RMD) (FBI)
Hi Mike,
My understanding is that’s what happens.

Is there any estimate on when I can expect the previously processed portion?
From: Michael Best
I think my question from two months ago was lost, because I never received a reply. Is there any estimate on when I can expect the previously processed portion of this file?
From: Bronson, Rebecca (RMD) (FBI)
Hi Mike,
Your request is waiting to be assigned to an analyst. Unfortunately I don’t have an estimate on when that will happen. Once it gets assigned, they will likely send you anything that’s already processed first.
Best,
Becki
