Dear Mr. Windsor:
I was planning on forwarding the email log for Noelle Giblin for the
period April 15, 2024 to June 30, 2024, today with appropriate
redactions.
Unfortunately, this morning I received a call from our attorney Mr. Griggs
who is working remotely. Mr. Griggs told me that he lost the internet last
night and has been advised it will be back up midday tomorrow.
To this end he will send the Giblin log directly to you tomorrow.
With regard to the LaValva log, I would request an extension until May 8,
2026.
The log is 54 pages with over 3,000 entries.
Additional time is required for our attorney to continue reviewing to
determine necessary redactions. If I can respond sooner I will.
Thank you,
