Re: Dkt. Nos. 19, 23

The Court hereby VACATES the hearing in this matter scheduled for Thursday, May 18, 

2016 in light of recently discovered case law, Hamdan v. United States Department of Justice, 797

supplemental briefing concerning how Hamdan affects the parties’ FOIA Exemption 7(E) and 

segregability arguments. Each party may file a supplemental brief on these two issues of no more 

than eight pages, double-spaced by June 1, 2016. The parties may file replies on these same two

issues by June 15, 2016. They may also provide declarations in support of their supplemental 

briefs. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
