This responds to your June 23, 2017 electronic Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request seeking a
copy of records describing the use of hypnosis used by this Service.
Documentation responsive to your request has been located and processed. Our review of these
documents reveals that they contain personal identifiers (such as names and social security numbers) of
third parties, the release of which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.
Accordingly, we must partially deny your request and withhold this information pursuant to the Freedom
of Information Act (FOIA) provisions 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(6) and (b)(7)(C). All releasable information is
provided to you at enclosure (1). We have also provided an enclosure explaining the various exemptions
of the FOIA.
As the official responsible for the partial denial of your request, I am advising you of your right to appeal
this determination. Your appeal must be postmarked within 90 calendar days from the date of this letter
and should be addressed to the Secretary of the Navy’s designee: Office of the Judge Advocate General,
(Code 14), 1322 Patterson Avenue, S.E., Suite 3000, Washington Navy Yard, D.C. 20374-5066. The
envelope and letter must bear the annotation “FOIA Appeal”. A copy of your initial request and a copy of
this partial denial letter must accompany the appeal.
If you choose not to appeal, you have the right to seek dispute resolution services. You may contact the
Department of the Navy's FOIA public liaison, Mr. Chris Julka, at [email protected] or (703)
697-0031 or the Office of Government Information Services (https://ogis.archives.gov/).
There are no assessable fees associated with the processing of your request.
Should you have any questions, please contact our office at (571) 305-9092 or via electronic mail at
[email protected].
Sincerely,
\\s\\
