OPR received your request on July 20, 2018. It has been assigned request number F18-00139. Please refer to that number in any correspondence pertaining to this matter. Please be advised that searches of OPR's systems of records were conducted and documents responsive to your request were located. At this time,I have determined that 53 pages are appropriate for release with excisions made pursuant to Exemptions 3, 5, 6, and 7(C) of the FOIA,5 U.S.C. §§ 552(b)(6),(7)(C). Exemption 3 pertains to matters specifically exempted from release by statute, in this instance. Rule 6e, which pertains to grand jury information. Exemption 5 pertains to certain inter- and intra-agency communications protected by the deliberative process privilege. Exemption 6 pertains to material the release of which would constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion ofthe personal privacy of third parties. Exemption 7(C) pertains to records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes the release of which could reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion ofthe personal privacy of third parties.
