Request sought records related to employees assigned to or placed in reassignment rooms and communication between employees in the agency's Employee & Labor Relations Office and various individuals. The appeal is not barred by collateral estoppel. The appeal is moot in part. The Request is insufficiently specific in part.

After in camera review, the agency properly redacted individual medical information and personal identification information, failed to establish that it appropriately withheld/redacted certain employment records, appropriately withheld/redacted certain noncriminal investigative material, and demonstrated that certain records reflect internal, predecisional deliberations. Granted in part, denied in part and dismissed as moot in part.
