Pursuant to this request, please search all computers and information systems including USMS enterprise IT systems, specialized computers, stand alone networks and personal email utilized for government business.

In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Re: Freedom of Information/Privacy Act Request No. 2016USMS30605
Subject of Request: Military Interdepartmental Purchase Requests

Dear Requester:

The United States Marshals Service (USMS) is responding to for "all emails, documents, logs, notes or other written records of all United States Marshals Service employees assigned to the Technical Operations Group and Financial Services Division from 2005 to the present that contain the following search terms: Military Interdepartmental Purchase Request or MIPR."
The records you seek are not USMS records. Therefore, we are unable to assist you.

For your information, Congress excluded three discrete categories of law enforcement and national security records from the requirements of the FOIA. See 5 U.S.C. 552(c ) (2006 & Supp. IV (2010)). This response is limited to those records that are subject to the requirements of the FOIA. This is a standard notification that is given to all our requesters and should not be taken as an indication that excluded records do, or do not, exist.

Sincerely,

William E. Bordley
Associate General
Counsel/FOIPA Officer

Hello -

The records I seek are for the Technical Operations Group of the US Marshals. It is unclear, then, how these records are not USMS records.

Please advise.

Best,

Good afternoon,

As indicated in your email dated June 29, 2016, you were searching for - "All emails, documents, logs, notes or other written records of all United States Marshals Service employees assigned to the Technical Operations Group and Financial Services Division from 2005 to the present that contain the following search terms:
"Military Interdepartmental Purchase Request"
"MIPR"

As indicated in Mr. William Bordley's response dated June 30, 2016, The United States Marshals Service (USMS) is responding to for "all emails, documents, logs, notes or other written records of all United States Marshals Service employees assigned to the Technical Operations Group and Financial Services Division from 2005 to the present that contain the following search terms: Military Interdepartmental Purchase Request or MIPR."

The USMS TOG does not have these records. Unless you are requesting something different than that was originally requested, unfortunately, we cannot assist you. USMS is part of the Department of Justice (DOJ). The Department of Defense (DoD) may be able to assist you better with retrieving the Military Interdepartmental Purchase Request you are looking for.

I hope you have a great day and you find a resolution to your request.

Thank you.
