"Re: Open Records Request from Mr. John McMillan received May 10, 2016. (Footnote: Mr. McMillan submitted his request by electronic mail on Monday, May 9, 2016, at 9:59 pm. The City's Administrative offices' business hours are from 8 am to 5 pm. Thus, Mr. McMillan's request was constructively received on Thursday, May 10, 2016.)
"Dear Attorney General Paxton,
"The City of Austin (the "City") received a request for information from Mr. John McMillan on May 10, 2016. Thus, today is the eighth business day since the City's receipt of Mr. McMillan's request. The City believes some of the information responsive to the request is excepted from disclosure under section 552.107 of the Government Code. This letter is a request for a determination under section 552.301 of the Government Code that some of the requested information is so excepted. Copies of the request and representative samples of the information at issue are enclosed.
"By copy of this letter the City is notifying the requestor that the City is seeking to withhold some of the responsive information represented by the enclosed samples and has asked for a decision from the Attorney General about whether this information is within an exception to public disclosure.
"Section 552.107(1) protects information coming within the attorney-client privilege. When asserting the attorney-client privilege, a governmental body has the burden of providing the necessary facts to demonstrate the elements of the privilege in order to withhold the information at issue. Open Records Decision No. 676 at 6-7 (2002).
"First, a governmental body must demonstrate that the information constitutes or documents a communication....Second, the communication must have been made 'for the purpose of facilitating the rendition of professional legal services' to the client governmental body....The privilege does not apply when an attorney or representative is involved in some capacity other than that of providing or facilitating professional legal services to the client governmental body. ... Third, the privilege applies only to communications between or among clients, client representatives, lawyers, and lawyer representatives....Thus, a governmental body must inform your office of the identities and capacities of the individuals to whom each communication at issue has been made. Lastly, the attorney-client privilege applies only to a confidential communication,...meaning it was 'not intended to be disclosed to third persons other than those to whom disclosure is made in furtherance of the rendition of professional legal services to the client or those reasonably necessary for the transmission of the communication.'...Whether a communication meets this definition depends on the intent of the parties involved at the time the information was communicated....Moreover, because the client may elect to waive the privilege at any time, a governmental body must explain that the confidentiality of a communication has been maintained. Section 552.107(1) generally excepts an entire communication that is demonstrated to be protected by the attorney-client privilege unless otherwise waived by the governmental body..."
"The submitted information consists of confidential communications between and amongst the Law Department. These communications were made for the purpose of facilitating the rendition of professional legal services and the confidentiality of these communications has been maintained. Accordingly, the City believes that the information represented by the enclosed samples is excepted from disclosure under section 552.107(1).
"If you have any questions concerning this matter, please feel free to contact me at (512) 974-6463.
"Sincerely,
"Elaine Nicholson
"Assistant City Attorney

To: City of Austin Public Information Coordinator,
City Government of Austin,
301 West 2nd Street,
Austin, Texas 78701
Office phone: (512) 974-2220
May 9, 2016
This is a public-information request in which I am seeking to obtain from the City Government of Austin a copy or photocopy or computer printout of any and all phone messages or E-mail correspondence or handwritten notes or letters or memoranda or reports or recommendations or other legal documents directly referring at least once to myself, John Kevin McMillan of Austin, in any manner or way, or directly referring at least once to my one-member (myself only) and non-Christian and anti-alcohol, anti-marijuana, anti-tobacco "Honor Society" Progressive Prohibitionist Religion in any manner or way, and that, in each such case, were received or generated or produced or written or sent or E-mailed or mailed or forwarded at any time since 9 a.m. February 16, 2016, by any temp-agency employee or any other employee, such as any attorney or paralegal or administrator or other staff member, who was himself or herself employed or stationed in the City of Austin Law Department at City Hall in downtown Austin.
EXCLUDED from the scope of this public-information request are any and all letters or E-mail letters that were exclusively written by myself, John Kevin McMillan of northwest Austin.
My date of birth is: April 27, 1957, and my social-security number is: .... I have resided in Austin proper on a continuous and uninterrupted basis ever since mid-March 1997. I am a lifelong single gentleman. I am also a lifelong non-Christian gentleman who myself has no criminal-conviction record. I am also gainfully employed and law-abiding and vigilant.
This public-information request was prompted in part by a written public disclosure the City of Austin officially made earlier this year in response to a public-information request from myself.
According to written information that was E-mailed to me by an official of the City of Austin Law Department, employees or officials of seven different departments of the City Government of Austin----those departments being the City Manager's Office, the Office of the Police Monitor, the Austin Police Department, the City of Austin Human Resources Department, the City Clerk's Office, the City of Austin Public Information Office, and the City of Austin Law Department in the form of intra-departmental consultations---over the course of the last approximately four-year period have each consulted one or more staff members or officials of the City of Austin Law Department (City Attorney's Office) specifically about myself, John Kevin McMillan of northwest Austin, on what were apparently dozens of total combined occasions.
Additional factual information about those legal consultations about myself by numerous City of Austin employees in recent years is provided below, as a post-script message to this public-information request to the City of Austin.
This public-information request is also prompted by the fact that the Austin Police Department (APD) has never informed me at any time in my entire life thus far that APD has ever on any occasion arrested any person or group of persons and formally charged that individual or that group of individuals with having allegedly wronged me in a context that allegedly violated the state penal code of Texas or, if applicable, federal law.
Thank you in advance for your prompt and very thorough reply letter providing me with any and all documents responsive to this public-information request from myself.
Sincerely and Best Wishes,
from longtime criminal-law complainant and self-identified continuous-and-continuing-daily-and-year-round-and-multi-year-personal-injury-crimes-and-anal-rape-crimes victim John Kevin McMillan.
