Thank you. But, I didn't think it would take so long. Since you have better access to them I would like you to forward these instructions I sent, but received no answer to I would also like notification of when the copy is sent via postal mail.
Please give them the information I gave to Ms. Servin-Solis. I requested that she send a copy via email attachment and also to physical address Vernon Balmer Jr.

Is there some limit to what the FOIA can give to me? I sent much more than these releases. To region 9 and region 10. They say FOIA has all the records. Why can't I have what I sent? I sent copies of my optometry records. I sent copies of emails between me and a dentits office. Ms. Servin-solis does not reply to my emails or the submission of the online request form.
