(NY) (FBI) < Subject: RE: case records scanning That's great, thanks very much for all your and your team's work and for the update. That makes sense regarding the 1As, thanks. With respect to the images that were not scanned, is there any way to flag them in the original hard copies somehow, so that we can easily find them and refer to them when the hard copy documents are sent back to New York? Just to avoid needing to try to flip through all the original documents to find them. Let me check and see if a notation was made as to where these images were located or if I can readily/easily find them in output. Regarding the discs, I'm not sure I totally understand — when you say four copies each, were there just four discs total? Or possibly I'm just misunderstanding the explanation. And related, is it right that those discs were not processed (just copied) so we'll need to look at those separate for our review? Sorry I should have been clearer. We just copied the discs — not processed and made four copies each which is our standard. The thought being when we burn output we always give a complete set that in theory would go to the defense, AUSA, and two copies to the Agent (one for him/and a back- up). The discs we found in the files contain pdfs (searchable), jpgs, gifs, and tif files And final question is just how all the scanned materials will be transmitted, so we can plan how most efficiently to receive them and get them processed here. thanks again, We will send everything back to you on dvds.

Here is the latest. We have finished scanning! In the course of going through the paper it was discovered that at some point in time (perhaps between 2013 and 2015 when it was last digitized) three 1As failed to make it back into their respective file jackets. It's not clear what happened or who is at fault. I can tell you that we were able to conduct a search of our local network and retrieve the images. I spoke with our Field Evidence Unit who recommended that prior to inserting the images we create a cover sheet that reflected that the images were not a part of the "original" paper rather they were regenerated from a digital copy. The 1As in questions are 1A10, 1A28, 1A84 as well as two missing serials in 31E-MM-108062-GJ SEC 001 SER 1-45. My digital EFTA00147821 team is addressing this matter and has assured me I'll be able to burn the output first thing Monday so that we can get everything returned to you. A few other items to point out. There were some pornographic images of young girls. These were not imaged per our protocols. You As you review the content anywhere these images may have been you will see a DocLab kicksheet that states "possible child pornography" DO NOT SCAN. The original documents are still in their original location — they were just not scanned. Finally, there were a number of discs scattered throughout. We made physical copies — one for one ratio of each (four copies each) to go along with the physical paper scanned. These wil be sent along with the discs we will generate. Please let me know if you have any questions. I'll be in bright and early Monday morning.

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.

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. From: (USANYS) [mailto) Sent: Tuesday, July 02, 2019 1:10 PM To: I= (IMD) (FBI) <->; (NY) (FBI) Cc: um, (USANYS) ; (USANYS) N.

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.
