Dear Ms. Weismann:
You appealed from the action of the Criminal Division of the United States Department
of Justice on your request for access to records pertaining to the investigation and prosecution of
Paul J. Magliocchetti.
After carefully considering your appeal, and as a result of discussions between Criminal
Division personnel and a member of my staff, I am remanding your request for further processing
of the responsive records. Although the Criminal Division invoked Exemption 7(A) of the
Freedom ofInfonnation Act, 5 US.c. § 552(b)(7)(A), to withhold in full all responsive records
at the time your initial request was processed, that exemption, which pertains to records or
information compiled for law enforcement purposes the release of which could reasonably be
expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings, is no longer applicable to withhold the
responsive records in their entireties. Consequently, the Criminal Division will send any and all
releasable records to you directly, subj ect to any fees. You may appeal any future adverse
determination made by the Criminal Division. If you would like to inquire about the status of
your remanded request, please contact the Criminal Division directly.
As part of the 2007 FOIA amendments, the Office of Government Information Services
(OGIS) was created to offer mediation services to resolve disputes between FOIA requesters and
Federal agencies as a non-exclusive alternative to litigation. Using OGIS services does not affect
your right to pursue litigation. The contact information for OGIS is: Office of Government
Information Services, National Archives and Records Administration, Room 2510,8601 Adelphi
Road, College Park, MD 20740-6001; e-mail at [email protected]; telephone at 301-837-1996; toll
free at 1-877-684-6448; or facsimile at 301-837-0348.

If you are dissatisfied with my action on your appeal, you may file a lawsuit in
accordance with 5 U.S.c. § 552(a)(4)(B).
Sincerely,
~.~
Janice Galli McLeod
Associate Director
