Dear Mr. Mendoza-Almendarez: 

This is in response to the above referenced Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request. 

Specifically, you requested a copy of the SIS Report and the findings for incident report 

#3423840 from 08/10/2020. In order to provide you with the greatest possible access to 

responsive records, your request was reviewed under both the Privacy Act of 1974 and 

the Freedom of Information Act. This Office determined the records responsive to your 

request are exempt from the access provision of the Privacy Act. See 5 U.S.C. 

§ 552a(j)(2). For this reason, your request has been reviewed under the FOIA. 

In response to your request, staff located 28 pages of responsive records, which were 

forwarded to this office for a release determination. After careful review, we determined 

4 pages are appropriate for release in full; 22 pages are appropriate for release in part; 

and, 2 pages must be withheld in their entirety. Copies of released records are 

attached. 

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552, records were redacted or 

withheld in full from disclosure to you under the following exemptions: 

(b)(5), Permits withholding information under the deliberative process privilege, 

including the pre-decisional documents, or information that could be withheld under civil 

discovery, attorney-client, or attorney-work product privileges. 

(b)(6), Permits withholding of records and information about individuals when disclosure 

would be a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy. 

(b)(7)(C), Permits withholding of records when an unwarranted invasion of personal 

privacy could reasonably be expected. 

(b)(7)(E), Permits withholding of records when techniques and procedures for law 

enforcement investigations or process would be disclosed or provided such disclosure 

could reasonably be expected to risk circumvention of law. 

(b)(7)(F), Permits withholding of records when endangering the safety or life of any 

individual could reasonably be expected. 

If you have questions about this response please feel free to contact the undersigned, 

this office, or the Federal Bureau of Prisons’ (BOP) FOIA Public Liaison, Mr. C. Darnell 

Stroble at 320 First Street NW, Suite 936, Washington DC 20534.
