Dear DFS: These are simple and/or record requests. So send whatever you can. Gunnar On Wed, Jul 27, 2022, 2:34 PM <George.Bogdan@dfs.ny.gov> wrote:

Dear Mr. Larson:

You made the following request by e mail to Christine Tomczak of the DFS Office of General Counsel:

"We would like to receive any and all records concerning the nature FOIL requests under appeal are managed.

This may include a handbook or other guide with detailed instructions concerning precluding any obstruction claims."

Please clarify what you mean by the phrase "concerning the nature FOIL requests under appeal are managed" and what you mean by "obstruction claims."

DFS follows what is required by Public Officers Law Article 6, the Committee on Open Government’s regulations (21 NYCRR 1401), and DFS’ own regulation, 23 NYCRR 3. I assume you are requesting only internal DFS documents and not public legal documents.

Sincerely, George Bogdan DFS Records Access Officer
