ORDER

The Defendants' memorandum of July 22, 2005, filed pursuant to the court's order of

June 28, 2005 (doc. #51), reports that they provided to Plaintiff the Federal Law Enforcement

Training Center file on her. In her memorandum (doc. #79) filed pursuant to this court's

order of September 28, 2005 (doc. #78), Plaintiff objects to the sufficiency of that production

to satisfy her Privacy Act claim (part of count two of her Complaint) in that it does not

contain her receipts of her guns and badges, law enforcement commission and LAME

training records which Don Usher had previously reported would be in her file. She now

objects to the sufficiency of the Defendants' search for her record because it is not stated that

Mr. Usher, who was previously identified as the person with knowledge of her file, was

contacted in connection with the search. The agency must “demonstrate that it has conducted

a search reasonably calculated to uncover all relevant documents.” Zemansky v. EPA, 767

F.2d569, 571 (9th Cir. 1985). The Supplemental Declaration of Holly Bundock, Exh. 43 to

Document #59, demonstrates that a reasonable, and indeed thorough, search was made for

the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center file on Plaintiff and she has been provided the

results. That is all that is required. Plaintiff does not question the adequacy of the

production of the other documents sought in count two.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment

(doc. # 26) is granted as to count two.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that, in accordance with this order and the order entered

June 28, 2005 (doc. # 51), the clerk enter judgment in favor of Defendants and that Plaintiff

take nothing. The clerk shall terminate this case.

DATED this 28th day of November, 2005.
