 Whereas, the Court has ordered Defendant to complete its FOIA production in this case by April 

29, 2020. 

 Whereas, a Case Management Conference in this case is scheduled for May 20, 2020. 

 Whereas, the current health crisis has made it impossible for Defendant to complete its FOIA 

production in this case by April 29, 2020, as ordered. As explained in the attached Declaration of 

Michael G. Seidel dated April 9, 2020, the FBI temporarily suspended its FOIA program. The 

employees involved in reviewing and producing documents in this case are not able to perform this work 

from home. Consequently, Defendant was unable to complete the final two productions in this case 

in March and April of 2020. 

 Therefore, the parties respectfully request the Court to extend the April 29, 2020 production 

completion date to July 31, 2020, and to continue the May 20, 2020 Case Management Conference to 

August 19, 2020, at 10:00 a.m. Defendant reserves the right to request a further extension and 

continuance for good cause.
