This is a request under the Freedom of Information Act. I hereby request the following records:

Mr. Smathers,

I have not been able to pull up any case with the case number F-2011-276782. Is there another case number? If you don't have another case number please provide more details on the request so we can try to look it up. It appears you may have 14 cases submitted in 2011 and until we have more information to find the case we can't provide an answer.
