Document:
Brennan Ctr. for Justice v. DHS (D.D.C.) -- reducing plaintiff’s requested fee award from $14,765 to $10,765 because time that plaintiff spent reviewing responsive records was not exclusively for purposes of litigation strategy, and because plaintiff’s “fee-on-fee” charges were unreasonably high.
Dillon v. DOJ (D.D.C.) -- determining that: (1) FBI failed to sufficiently address why it did not produced three known emails pertaining to investigation of Bruce Ivins, who killed himself before being indicted for anthrax attacks in 2001; and (2) in camera review was warranted for requested excerpts of FBI’s interim 2006 case report, which agency claimed was entirely exempt pursuant to deliberative process privilege.
Rocky Mountain Wild v. U.S. Bureau of Land Mgmt. (D. Colo., 2019) -- ruling that: (1) plaintiff’s claim concerning agency’s untimely response became moot once agency fully responded; (2) plaintiff’s claim seeking referral to Special Counsel was an invalid cause of action; and (3) plaintiff failed to establish that agency has pattern-or-practice claim of FOIA violations.
Montgomery v. IRS (D.D.C.) -- ruling that plaintiffs failed to present new evidence or show that court erred in deciding that agency had properly issued Exemption 7(D) Glomar in response to request for whistleblower records.
Grynberg v. DOJ (2nd Cir.) -- summarily affirming district court’s decision that agency properly withheld records pursuant to Exemption 3 in conjunction with Rule 6(e) of Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure and the Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty between the United States and Switzerland.
Ariz. Family Health P'ship v. HHS (D.D.C.) -- declining to issue injunction pending plaintiff’s appeal of court’s decision permitting agency to release redacted versions of plaintiff’s Title X grant applications.
Freedom Watch, Inc. v. FBI (D D.C.) -- dismissing suit after finding that plaintiff’s request, which sought records “that refer or relate in any way to collaboration and/or communication by and between the [FBI] and Southern Poverty Law Center” since 2008 -- was not reasonably described.
Sikes v. U.S. Dep't of the Navy (S.D. Ga.) -- on remand from 11th Circuit , which had held that agency could not refuse to process plaintiff’s duplicate request, ruling that: (1) plaintiff’s claim was not precluded by res judicata, (2) agency performed adequate and good faith search for records; and (3) plaintiff substantially prevailed and would be entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees and costs.
