RE: FOIL Request – Danny Squicciarini

 

Dear Mr Dunphy:

This letter is a follow-up on my FOIL Appeal letter dated April 27, 2012, FOIL Officer Kevin Crozier’s response of May 1, 2012, and my follow-up response of May 8, 2012. Mr Crozier states that my FOIL request of February 13, 2012, must be denied in its entirety because, “these records have been sealed by order of Judge Cerrato on January 6, 2012”. My request for a copy of this order has been ignored.
