RICHARD SNYDER,

Plaintiff,

v.

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 03-cv-04992-VRW (VC)

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO 

COMPEL

Re: Dkt. No. 157

The motion to compel compliance with Judge Walker's April 2005 order is denied. As a 

preliminary matter, it does not appear that the defendants' June 23, 2014 communication with the 

plaintiff violated FOIA. But even if it did, it would not also be a violation of Judge Walker's April 

2005 order, which did not enjoin the defendants from sending that type of communication in 

response to future FOIA requests.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 8, 2015
