FW: case records scanning

Thanks very much for chatting earlier today, and as promised wanted to send an email so you have our full contact info. My colleague and I are the prosecutors working on the investigation — she's also copied here, and we're available anytime via email, or by phone at:

It's our understanding that there are approximately 23 boxes of papers, give or take, and that they include approximately two boxes from FBI case file 72-MM-113327 and the remainder from FBI case file 31E-MM-108062. Please don't hesitate to reach out if anything comes up at all, or if we can be of any help, and thanks very much for putting this at the top of your list, we really appreciate it.

thanks again,

Let me know as soon as the boxes ship. Thanks!

The boxes will be shipped via Fedex this afternoon.

Quickly following up on this, can we confirm the boxes went out last week?

I just want to follow-up that the boxes were shipped. Fedex is not showing anything in-bound for us today.

My apologies, apparently with a Fedex pickup this size an appointment had to be setup. The pickup was scheduled for today and will arrive in VA tomorrow, tracking number 4744 7647 0418. Thanks,

I got the scan request thanks.

How much wiggle room can I get on the deadline we originally talked about of 7/10? I'm concerned that with the boxes going from 15 to 22 and now not showing up until sometime tomorrow and Thursday a holiday the 10th is going to be extremely tight. Can I extend out at all to the 16th? If not I understand and we'll work to make it work somehow.

We're under time pressure but I think the most important thing is that your folks have the time you need to do the job in a way you're comfortable with—being able to scan each document separately, dealing with any random scraps of paper, post-its, etc etc. If doing the best possible job requires an extra few days that's totally understandable, especially given the holiday. Thanks again for the focus on it, and for following up.

Happy 4th of July Eve. We just received 22 boxes about 5 minutes ago. We discovered that the Miami Field Office had requested DocLab to scan a number of them back in 2013. I'm hoping (fingers crossed) that the images are available on our internal network so that I can access them and just simply reprocess the digital output, if not we'll re-prep and scan accordingly. We will keep you posted.

Take care and have a great holiday.

Thanks very much for the update — I think unless you guys can confirm that any prior scans were absolutely 100% done correctly (and separated by document, etc.), we'd prefer to have them just done in one full set now—particularly knowing that this will all be the subject of discovery, which definitely wouldn't have been the case in 2013.

thanks again,

Gentlemen:

I just wanted to give you a quick update.

We finished inventorying all 22 boxes and released everything to DocLab last evening for scanning. As of this writing we are looking good for meeting the original deadline — give or take a day. We still have a few things to tweak, but I'm confident that things are looking good and we'll have this wrapped up within the next day or two. I'll send you a more detailed email tomorrow morning when I get in.

Take care and have a good evening.

This reminds me that we still have one box (I believe) of media from the original shipment, tapes and/or discs, that you've categorized as evidence (and can therefore give us for review and processing) — is that right? If so, can we get that tomorrow to send to a vendor for converting to viewable electronic versions?

thanks,
