Mr. Jeremy Bigwood
Reference: F-2016-01256
Dear Mr. Bigwood:
On 11 March 2016, the office of the Information and Privacy Coordinator received your
20 February 2016 Freedom of Information Act request for "any and all records, irrespective of
media, regarding Mikhail Yuriyevich Lesin."
You have requested expedited processing. We handle all requests in the order we receive
them; that is, "first-in, first-out." We make exceptions to this rule only when a requester
establishes a compelling need in accordance with the FOIA, 5 U.S.C. � 552, as amended. Your
request does not demonstrate a "compelling need" and, therefore, we deny your request for
expedited processing. You may appeal this decision, in my care, within 45 days from the date of
this letter. Should you choose to appeal the denial of your request for expedited processing, you
are encouraged to provide an explanation supporting your appeal.
Our officers will review your request and will advise you should they encounter any
problems or if they cannot begin the search without additional information. We have assigned
your request the reference number above. Please use this number when corresponding so that we
can identify it easily.
Sincerely,
tv"Ar'
Michael Lavergne
Information and Privacy Coordinator
