PR 20-33 Restivo v. Rhode Island Department of Health – No violation

Complainant alleged that RIDOH violated the APRA when it when it invoked the twenty (20) business day extension of time to respond under the APRA and characterized his request as "voluminous." Based on our review, we found that RIDOH's extension letter also advised Complainant that completing search and retrieval of his request would take several hours and require prepayment of costs. We determined that RIDOH's extension, taken as a whole, was particularized to Complainant's request and the evidence supported RIDOH's characterization of the request as voluminous. Accordingly, we found no violation.
