Good morning,

We are continuing to work on your request. DOJ completed a search of its files and determined that it has records potentially responsive to your request. A review of those files to determine what records can be prepared for release to you continues. Please note, as explained in our acknowledgement letter, processing your request requires a search of DOJ's email archive. The volume of emails required to be searched and the staff time and resources necessary for location and review will likely result in a longer response time than for a simpler request.

Wisconsin Statutes mandate that we provide you with a response "as soon as practicable and without delay." Wis. Stat. § 19.35(4)(a). Please be assured that DOJ is committed to providing a thorough and timely response to your request. We appreciate your patience as we continue to process your request.
Thank you,
