Under Title II of the ADA (42 U.S.C. 12132) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. 794), I formally request that this FOIA request be forwarded to any departments, offices, or personnel that may hold responsive records.
Additionally, to ensure accessibility and compliance with federal disability law, I request that:
All records be provided in screen-reader compatible formats (searchable PDFs, plain-text files).
Key findings be embedded directly in email responses (rather than external portals).
All communications regarding this request remain within the original email chain for clarity and tracking.
Failure to forward this request as required by law, or failure to provide an exhaustive search and production of responsive documents, may be considered noncompliance under FOIA and will be subject to appeal, administrative complaints, and legal escalation if necessary.
A full response is expected within the statutory deadlines of FOIA (5 U.S.C. 552(a)(6)(A)(i)) and Conn. Gen. Stat. 1-210(c).

This request is submitted in the interest of government accountability, financial oversight, and public transparency regarding the Connecticut Medicaid ABI Waiver Program, the Connecticut Comptrollers Office, and any funding, contracts, or oversight related to the Connecticut Coalition Against Domestic Violence (CCADV).
Accommodation Request:
Under Title II of the ADA (42 U.S.C. 12132) and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act (29 U.S.C. 794), I formally request that this FOIA request be forwarded to any departments, offices, or personnel that may hold responsive records.
Additionally, to ensure accessibility and compliance with federal disability law, I request that:
All records be provided in screen-reader compatible formats (searchable PDFs, plain-text files).
Key findings be embedded directly in email responses (rather than external portals).
All communications regarding this request remain within the original email chain for clarity and tracking.
Failure to forward this request as required by law, or failure to provide an exhaustive search and production of responsive documents, may be considered noncompliance under FOIA and will be subject to appeal, administrative complaints, and legal escalation if necessary.
A full response is expected within the statutory deadlines of FOIA (5 U.S.C. 552(a)(6)(A)(i)) and Conn. Gen. Stat. 1-210(c).

Dear FOIA Officer,
I am writing to formally notify you that my FOIA request was illegally withdrawn without my authorization. At no point did I consent to its withdrawal, and such an action is a direct violation of my rights under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552).
Given the critical nature of this request, I demand its immediate reinstatement and expedited processing pursuant to 5 U.S.C. 552(a)(6)(E). This request involves matters of substantial public interest, government accountability, and potential misconduct affecting federally funded programs.
Furthermore, the FBI has been made aware of this unauthorized withdrawal, as it raises significant concerns about transparency and due process. Any delay in reinstating and processing this request could be viewed as further obstruction of the lawful FOIA process.
Please provide written confirmation of this requests reinstatement and its new processing timeline no later than 48 hours from this email. Should there be any continued noncompliance, I will escalate this matter accordingly.
Sincerely,
David Medeiros
