This is so freaking strange, but I can see how it happened and it doesn't surprise me at all. Thankfully it's been resolved, as another poster pointed out (https://www.supportdavidcarpenter.org https://www.supportdavidcarpenter.org). It's not uncommon for a FOIA to be extra scrutinized if it's sent by a lawyer. Meaning the request will be brought up in a meeting with higher ups when it normally wouldn't be. It's basically an implicit threat to sue. My guess is the administration freaked out at the implicit threat, saw something that looked fishy at-face, and made a decision too early thinking the whole thing would have cost quite a lot of money.
