Mail

I am appealing the redactions in their entirety, as the names redacted are part of the public court records and thus are not protected by b6 and b7C, nor is there an expectation of privacy due to the nature of the public filings.

I am further appealing the integrity of the search, as even a prima facie review of the documents suggests that at least one version of the report was not included in the release.
