Semo, Director, Office of Government Information Services, NARA\nBrooke Nicholas, Supervisory Government Information Specialist, U.S. Department of State\n\nSubject: Formal Appeal of FOIA Request #F-2025-03145: Violations of Constitutional Rights, ADA Compliance, and Procedural Obligations\n\nDear FOIA Officer,\n\nThis formal appeal addresses procedural, statutory, and constitutional violations in the handling of FOIA Request #F-2025-03145. The Department of State has failed to uphold its obligations under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and related federal statutes, compromising my constitutional rights under the First, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendments.\n\nConstitutional Violations\nFirst Amendment Right to Public Information\n\nThe First Amendment guarantees the public's right to access government information to ensure transparency and accountability (DOJ v. Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press, 1989).\nThe Department's actions, including marking my request as \"Closed\" without substantive response, obstruct this fundamental right, particularly for records tied to taxpayer-funded Medicaid programs that directly impact vulnerable populations.\nFifth Amendment Due Process Clause\n\nFailing to provide a substantive response, ADA-mandated accommodations, or procedural clarity violates my due process rights under the Fifth Amendment (Mathews v. Eldridge, 1976).\nThe refusal to provide clear justifications for the premature closure of my request constitutes a procedural failure, denying me meaningful participation in the FOIA process.\nFourteenth Amendment Equal Protection Clause\n\nDenying ADA-mandated accommodations discriminates against individuals with disabilities, violating my rights to equal protection under the law (Tennessee v. Lane, 2004). Government agencies are required to ensure equitable access to public services, including FOIA processes.\nSupremacy Clause Federal Law Preeminence\n\nFOIA and ADA obligations are federal mandates that supersede any conflicting state laws, agency policies, or internal practices. Non-compliance violates the Supremacy Clause, undermining the constitutional priority of federal law.\nKey Procedural Violations\nPremature and Procedurally Deficient Closure\n\nMarking my FOIA request \"Closed\" without providing records, a valid exemption under 5 U.S.C. 552(b), or any explanation violates procedural requirements.\nThe Department's failure to clarify this status undermines transparency and due process.\nADA Non-Compliance\n\nDespite explicit accommodations outlined in my request, the Department has failed to:\nProvide email-only communication.\nEmbed responses in the email body.\nEnsure accessible document formats.\nThese failures obstruct access and violate 42 U.S.C. 12101 (ADA) and 29 U.S.C. 794 (Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act).\nFailure to Identify Responsible Personnel\n\nFOIA requires transparency in identifying the individuals involved in processing requests. The Department's omission of this information hinders accountability and violates procedural obligations.\nLack of Justification for Redactions or Denials\n\nFOIA mandates detailed explanations for any withheld records under 5 U.S.C. 552(b). The absence of such justifications constitutes non-compliance.\nRequested Corrective Actions\nReopen FOIA Request\n\nReopen Request #F-2025-03145 and provide a substantive response to the records requested, ensuring compliance with all statutory and constitutional obligations.\nImplement ADA-Compliant Accommodations\n\nConfirm in writing that the following accommodations will be applied:\nEmail-Only Communication via MuckRock Platform: No external links, portals, or alternative methods.\nDirect Text in Email Body: Embed all substantive responses in the email body for accessibility.\nAccessible PDFs: Provide documents in screen-reader-compatible PDF format.\nSimplified Summaries for Complex Records: Include plain-language summaries for dense legal, procedural, or financial documents.\nIdentification of FOIA Personnel: Name all personnel responsible for processing the request.\nClarify Closed Status\n\nProvide a detailed explanation for the \"Closed\" status, including whether any records were identified, processed, or denied and on what basis.\nProvide an Updated Timeline\n\nShare an Estimated Date of Completion (EDC) for the reopened request, as required under 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(7)(B).\nDetailed Justifications for Denials\n\nFor any withheld records, provide statutory explanations under 5 U.S.C. 552(b) with Vaughn Index-style documentation.\nEscalation Framework\nIf these deficiencies are not addressed, I will escalate to the following oversight bodies:\n\nOffice of Government Information Services (OGIS): FOIA mediation and dispute resolution.\nOffice for Civil Rights (OCR): ADA compliance enforcement.\nFederal Court: Judicial remedies for FOIA and ADA violations.\nResponse Deadline\nI request acknowledgment of this appeal within 5 business days and a detailed corrective plan within 10 business days. Continued non-compliance will necessitate further legal and administrative action.\n\nSincerely,\nDavid Medeiros\nFounder, ABI Resources\n39 Kings Hwy STE C\nGales Ferry, CT 06335\nEmail: aabiwr@live.com\n\nCC:\n\nAundra Luckey, DOJ Civil Rights Division\nAlina M.

These accommodations were explicitly requested to address accessibility needs stemming from my traumatic brain injury and to ensure compliance with federal law. To date, your office has failed to meet these requirements, resulting in undue barriers and systemic non-compliance.\n\nAccommodations Previously Requested\nThe following accommodations, explicitly outlined in prior communications, remain unfulfilled:\n\nExclusive Use of MuckRock Platform\n\nRequested: All communications must be routed exclusively through the MuckRock platform. No external portals, password-protected links, or alternate communication methods are acceptable.\nNon-Compliance: Communications have directed me to use external portals and password-protected links, violating ADA guidelines and my explicit requests.\nAccessible Document Formatting\n\nRequested: All documents must be provided as screen-reader compatible PDFs, properly labeled and indexed for ease of navigation and accessibility.\nNon-Compliance: Provided documents have not adhered to accessibility standards, preventing effective access to critical information.\nSimplified Summaries for Complex Records\n\nRequested: Simplified summaries must accompany all complex or technical records to enhance comprehension and ensure equitable participation.\nNon-Compliance: No summaries have been provided, creating unnecessary barriers to understanding the records.\nIdentification of Responsible Personnel\n\nRequested: Each communication must include the name, title, and role of the individual responsible for processing or responding to my requests.\nNon-Compliance: Correspondence has consistently lacked this information, hindering accountability and effective follow-up.\n\nImmediate Action Required\nTo rectify these ongoing failures and ensure compliance with federal laws, I demand the following actions be taken without delay:\n\nTransition All Communications to MuckRock\n\nImmediately cease the use of external portals or non-compliant communication methods and ensure all responses are routed exclusively through the MuckRock platform.\nProvide Accessible Documents\n\nReformat and resend all previously provided documents as screen-reader compatible PDFs, properly labeled and indexed to ensure accessibility.\nInclude Simplified Summaries\n\nProvide simplified summaries for all complex or technical records, both previously shared and in future communications, to ensure accessibility and equitable participation.\nIdentify Responsible Personnel\n\nInclude the name, title, and role of the individual responsible for every communication moving forward to ensure transparency and accountability.\nLegal Basis for Compliance\nYour office is legally obligated to comply with these accommodations under the following statutes and principles:\n\nAmericans with Disabilities Act (ADA): Title II, 42 U.S.C. 12132, and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act mandate reasonable accommodations and accessibility in communications for individuals with disabilities.\nFreedom of Information Act (FOIA): 5 U.S.C. 552 requires transparency, accessibility, and adherence to procedural fairness.\nConstitutional Protections: The First, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution safeguard my rights to petition the government, due process, and equal protection under the law.\nExecutive Order 13392: Mandates improved agency disclosure of information to enhance transparency and accountability.\n\nDeadline for Compliance\nYour office must confirm compliance with these accommodations and provide the requested corrective actions within five (5) business days of this notice.

Garland, Attorney General, DOJ\nKristen Clarke, Assistant Attorney General, Civil Rights Division\nChiquita Brooks-LaSure, CMS Administrator\nXavier Becerra, HHS Secretary\n\nDear Mr. Stein,\n\nThis communication serves as a formal response to the decision to reject my FOIA request (Case No. F-2025-03145) as outlined in the Department of States correspondence dated December 5, 2024. Your determination that the requested records do not exist in the Departments possession does not absolve the agency of its procedural and statutory obligations under FOIA and the ADA.\n\nKey Issues with the Rejection\nFailure to Redirect Appropriately\n\nFOIA mandates agencies to refer requests to the appropriate entities when the requested records fall outside their purview (5 U.S.C. 552(a)(6)(B)(iii)).\nYour response failed to clarify whether referrals to relevant agencies, such as the DOJ or HHS, were made.\nViolation of ADA Accommodations\n\nMy request explicitly required ADA-compliant accommodations under 42 U.S.C. 12132, including direct email communication, accessible document formatting, and simplified summaries.\nThe response provided failed to meet these standards, causing undue burden.\nProcedural Violations Under FOIA\n\nThe Department did not provide sufficient justification for denying the request or guidance on further action beyond vague references to external websites. This constitutes a procedural deficiency under FOIA.\nCorrective Actions Demanded\nTo resolve these deficiencies promptly and in accordance with federal law, I request the following actions:\n\nReopen and Reprocess the FOIA Request\n\nRedirect the request to the appropriate federal entities, including HHS, CMS, and the DOJ, and provide detailed acknowledgment of these referrals.\nConfirm in writing whether any records within the Departments scope exist but were not processed due to misclassification.\nADA-Compliant Communication Standards\n\nResend all communications in a format that adheres to my ADA accommodations, including:\nDirect inclusion of all response text in the email body.\nAccessible PDFs with plain-language summaries for complex legal or procedural content.\nDetailed Justification for Rejection\n\nProvide specific citations of FOIA exemptions or statutory limitations that justify the decision to deny records, as required under 5 U.S.C. 552(b).\nInclude the names, titles, and contact information of all officials involved in processing this request.\nImmediate Escalation to Oversight Bodies\n\nNotify OGIS of the current status and allow mediation to address systemic issues in your FOIA and ADA compliance processes.\nLegal Basis for Corrective Actions\nFreedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552\nYour rejection violates statutory obligations for transparency and proper referral mechanisms.\nAmericans with Disabilities Act (ADA), 42 U.S.C. 12132\nFailing to adhere to outlined accommodations constitutes a violation of federal disability rights law.\nConstitutional Violations\nThe denial of my FOIA request impedes my First, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights, including access to public records and equal protection under the law.\nEscalation Plan\nIf these corrective actions are not confirmed within 5 business days, I will take the following steps:\n\nFormal Complaints:\n\nFile complaints with the DOJ Civil Rights Division, the Office of Government Information Services (OGIS), and the Department of Justice Inspector General.\nJudicial Remedies:\n\nInitiate legal action under 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(4)(B) for judicial review of your determination and procedural violations.\nPublic Disclosure and Advocacy:\n\nEngage advocacy organizations, congressional oversight committees, and media outlets to highlight systemic non-compliance with federal transparency and accessibility laws.\nConclusion\nThis matter demands immediate attention to address the systemic deficiencies in FOIA and ADA compliance reflected in your response. Please confirm receipt of this communication and outline a corrective plan no later than December 12, 2024.\n\nThank you for your immediate attention to this critical issue.\n\nSincerely,\nDavid Medeiros\nFounder, ABI Resources\n39 Kings Hwy STE C\nGales Ferry, CT 06335\nDB.42.131.Inf. \n\nCC:\n\n1.

Stein\nDirector, Office of Information Programs and Services\nU.S. Department of State\nEmail: FOIA@state.gov\nPhone: (202) 261-8300\n\nK.B. for, Brooke Nicholas\nSupervisory Government Information Specialist\nOffice of Information Access Liaison Information Access Programs\nU.S. Department of State\n\nU.S. Department of State\nFOIA Requester Service Center\n\nRequesters Communications Branch\nOffice of Information Programs and Services\nU.S. Department of State\n\nThis correspondence pertains to my Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. Your handling of this matter raises critical concerns under FOIA (5 U.S.C. 552), the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA, 42 U.S.C. 12132), and constitutional principles of government accountability.\n\nAs recognized in National Archives and Records Administration v. Favish, 541 U.S. 157 (2004), transparency is fundamental to democracy and public trust. Your agencys obligations are not discretionary, and failure to meet them constitutes a violation of statutory and constitutional law. This letter establishes your duties, addresses deficiencies, and anticipates and counters all potential deflection strategies.\n\n1. FOIA Obligations: Statutory Mandates and Required Actions\nFOIA establishes an enforceable right of access to federal agency records. Your response must meet the following requirements:\n\nA. Timeliness\nUnder 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(6)(A), you are required to provide a determination within 20 business days. Delays beyond this timeframe, absent legitimate extension requests, constitute a violation of FOIA.\n\nCountermeasure: Delays are actionable under Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington v. DOJ, 711 F.3d 180 (D.C. Cir. 2013).\nRequired Action: Provide the requested records or a lawful determination.\n\nB. Adequacy of Search\nFOIA requires a thorough and reasonable search for records, as established in Campbell v. DOJ, 164 F.3d 20 (D.C. Cir. 1998). This includes:\n\nIdentifying the databases, locations, and terms used.\nProviding a sworn affidavit detailing the search scope.\nCountermeasure: A vague claim of \"no responsive records\" is insufficient without a detailed affidavit.\nRequired Action: Submit a sworn affidavit documenting the search or confirm the existence of responsive records.\n\nC. Proper Use of Exemptions\nExemptions under 5 U.S.C. 552(b) must be narrowly applied and justified with specific explanations. Blanket or vague exemptions are impermissible.\n\nCountermeasure: A Vaughn index (Vaughn v. Rosen, 484 F.2d 820 (D.C. Cir. 1973)) is required to justify each withholding.\nRequired Action: Submit a Vaughn index detailing each exemption and its justification within 10 business days.\n\nD. Decentralization and Referrals\nReferrals or decentralization excuses do not absolve your agency of its responsibility to provide a consolidated response. As held in McGehee v. CIA, 697 F.2d 1095 (D.C. Cir. 1983), agencies must coordinate internally to ensure compliance.\n\nCountermeasure: Require assurance of continuity and coordination across divisions.\nRequired Action: Consolidate records from all relevant offices and provide a unified response.\n\n2. ADA and Rehabilitation Act Compliance: Equal Access as a Legal Right\nAs a person with a documented disability, I am entitled to reasonable accommodations under the ADA and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. Your failure to provide accessible formats for requested records constitutes discrimination and violates federal law.\n\nCase Law:\nTennessee v. Lane, 541 U.S. 509 (2004): Agencies must ensure meaningful access to government services.\nAlexander v. Choate, 469 U.S. 287 (1985): Denial of reasonable accommodations creates barriers that violate civil rights.\nRequired Action:\n\nProvide all requested records in accessible formats, including plain-language summaries or electronic files compatible with assistive technologies.\nConfirm compliance with ADA requirements by [specific date].\n3. Mandated Reporting and Whistleblower Protections\nYour handling of this request implicates broader concerns, including potential fraud, misuse of federal funds, or retaliation against whistleblowers. Under the Whistleblower Protection Act (5 U.S.C. 2302), you are required to report and address systemic violations.\n\nCountermeasure: Reference Misprision of Felony (18 U.S.C. 4), which requires the reporting of observed violations of law.\nRequired Action: Document and escalate evidence of misconduct to oversight bodies, including the Office of Inspector General (OIG).\n\n4. Consequences of Non-Compliance\nFailure to comply with your statutory obligations knowingly constitutes violations of:\n\nObstruction of Justice (18 U.S.C. 1505): Delaying lawful access to records obstructs public accountability.\nCivil Rights Violations (42 U.S.C. 1983): Denying ADA accommodations constitutes a deprivation of federally protected rights.\nMisprision of Felony (18 U.S.C. 4): Concealing or failing to report observed violations is a criminal act.\nCountermeasure: Prepare for judicial review, oversight complaints, and public advocacy if compliance fails.\n5. Escalation Pathways\nIf your office does not comply within the specified timeframe, I will escalate this matter through:\n\nJudicial Review: Filing a lawsuit under 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(4)(B) to compel disclosure.\nOversight Complaints: Submitting formal complaints to OGIS, OIG, and the DOJ Civil Rights Division.\nPublic Advocacy: Engaging investigative journalists, transparency advocates, and public interest organizations to ensure accountability.\n\n6. Final Statement: Upholding Transparency and Accountability\nThis matter reflects the publics right to transparency and the preservation of trust in government institutions. Your actions will either affirm your agencys commitment to accountability or further evidence systemic disregard for these principles.\n\nI look forward to your prompt and substantive response.\n\nDavid Medeiros\nABI Resources\n\nState of Connecticut Officials:\n\nGovernor Ned Lamont\nTitle: Governor of Connecticut\nOffice Address: State Capitol, 210 Capitol Avenue, Hartford, CT 06106\nPhone: (860) 566-4840\nToll-Free: (800) 406-1527\nTDD: (860) 524-7397\nEmail: Contact Form\nWebsite: https://portal.ct.gov/governor\n\nAttorney General William Tong\nTitle: Attorney General of Connecticut\nOffice Address: 165 Capitol Avenue, Hartford, CT 06106\nPhone: (860) 808-5318\nEmail: attorney.general@ct.gov\nWebsite: https://portal.ct.gov/ag\n\nCommissioner Andrea Barton Reeves\nTitle: Commissioner, Connecticut Department of Social Services (DSS)\nOffice Address: 55 Farmington Avenue, Hartford, CT 06105\nPhone: (860) 424-5053\nEmail: andrea.bartonreeves@ct.gov\nWebsite: https://portal.ct.gov/dss\n\nConnecticut Freedom of Information Commission (FOIC)\nOffice Address: 165 Capitol Avenue, Suite 1100, Hartford, CT 06106\nPhone: (860) 566-5682\nToll-Free: 1-866-374-3617\nEmail: foi@ct.gov\nWebsite: https://portal.ct.gov/foi\n\nFederal Officials and Agencies:\n\nSenator Richard Blumenthal\nTitle: U.S. Senator from Connecticut\nWashington D.C.
