This memorandum disputes whether a federal records response supplied the governing documents requested for Connecticut's brain injury waiver.
The author says he escalated the matter to the public liaison and the Office of Government Information Services on March ninth, twenty twenty-six.
The source says an information specialist asked for the original request again. The author maintains the agency had held it since twenty twenty-three.
The memo says an October twenty twenty-three release contained a twenty nineteen protocol instead of the waiver documents sought. Compare the actual attachment and scope.
The memo interprets the exchange as deliberate evidence control. That motive and its financial allegations are not established merely by a request to resend material.
A response can contain a document yet leave the requested question unanswered. The original request and release inventory show the specific difference.
Open the source memo. Match its control number with the original request, release letter, attachments, March correspondence, and any later response.
The memo requests mediation and further federal steps. This video does not claim those steps happened. A filing is not a finding.
On March 9, 2026, TBI survivor and qualified ABI provider David Medeiros formally escalated FOIA #032820237017 to CMS FOIA Public Liaison Joseph Tripline and the Office of Government Information Services (OGIS).
This escalation was triggered by Government Information Specialist Angelica Holland’s March 5, 2026 email in which she asked Mr. Medeiros to resend the original FOIA request she has possessed since March 30, 2023.
Forensic Summary
The core governing documents of the Connecticut Medicaid ABI Waiver Program the actual federal-state contract controlling billions in federal Medicaid dollars, Freedom of Choice requirements, provider access, and slot reservations were never produced in the October 13, 2023 “full release.” Instead, only a peripheral 2019 MFP protocol was sent.
Angelica Holland’s March 5, 2026 request for a document she already holds is textbook evidence-control paperwork designed to exhaust a disabled requester and create the appearance of responsiveness while protecting the ongoing diversion of federal funds through steering and two-tier provider systems.
This is the same pattern documented since 2019 that forced Mr. Medeiros to use MuckRock to publicize his requests after repeated burial inside CMS systems.
Named Officials in the Chain
Angelica Holland (Government Information Specialist) – sent the March 5, 2026 delay email
Joseph Tripline (CMS FOIA Public Liaison) – now formally notified and requested to act
Emmett D. Nicholson (Director, Division of FOIA Analysis – C) – signed the false “full release” letter
Jay Olin (former Director) – issued the original acknowledgment
Action Taken by Requester
Mr. Medeiros has now placed the matter in the hands of the two statutory oversight bodies responsible for preventing exactly this type of obstruction.
Recommended Immediate Federal Steps
Open OGIS mediation and compel production of the withheld 2023 ABI Waiver documents.
Subpoena Angelica Holland’s complete case file and internal notes for FOIA #032820237017.
Interview all named officials under oath regarding the seven-year pattern of delay and selective production.
This March 9, 2026 escalation letter is now permanent, subpoena-ready evidence that the organized criminal enterprise inside CMS continues to operate in 2026 using government employment as cover to conceal federal Medicaid funding theft.
