We discussed it, and agreed collectively we would not reject any FOIAs because of the litigation hold. Liane J. Shekter Smith, P.E. Assistant to Chief Deputy Director Jim Sygo Michigan Department of Environmental Quality 517-284-6543

Sygo is out, sue vorce is out, Richard is in se mich; can you help us assure the press that Mdeq is not rejecting foias based on presence of a litigation hold ? Right now all I can say is the ag office and our lit holds are clear that they apply to the agency's retention of docs, no impact on whether a doc can be disclosed under FOIA. xxxEND_PAGE:deq02_b374_3667_3667_1
