Dear Russell Newton,
You contacted the Department of Justice on January 11, 2022. After careful review of what you submitted, we have decided not to take any further action on your complaint.
What we did:
Team members from the Civil Rights Division reviewed the information you submitted. Based on our review, we have decided not to take any further action on your complaint. We receive several thousand reports of civil rights violations each year. We unfortunately do not have the resources to take direct action for every report.
Your report number was 128462-ZQF.
What you can do:
We are not determining that your report lacks merit. Your issue may still be actionable by others - your state bar association or local legal aid office may be able to help.
To find a local office:
American Bar Association
(800) 285-2221
Legal Service Corporation (or Legal Aid Offices)
(202) 295-1500
How you have helped:
While we don’t have the capacity to take on each individual report, your report can help us find issues affecting multiple people or communities. It also helps us understand emerging trends and topics.
Thank you for taking the time to contact the Department of Justice about your concerns. We regret we are not able to provide more help on this matter.
Sincerely,
U.S. Department of Justice
Civil Rights Division
