Opinion/Order [52]
FOIA Project Annotation: A federal court in Connecticut has ruled that most of the items in multi-part requests submitted by the Service Women's Action Network and the ACLU pertaining to sexual assault in the military ask for aggregate or statistical data which neither the Defense Department nor Veterans Affairs were obligated to respond to under FOIA because they asked for answers to questions rather than for specific records. However, Judge Mark Kravitz found that a single request asking for records related to the non-judicial or administrative resolution of sexual assault-related complaints that did not result in court martial was a valid FOIA request. He noted that "as written, Item 11's request is clear enoughâ€"but it may be unduly burdensome. . .However, as the Court must examine the facts and draw inferences in favor of the non-moving Plaintiffs, and as the Defendants have not submitted evidence on this point, the Court concludes that there is a genuine issue of material fact as to whether the Item 11 request in unduly burdensome. After opening that door, Kravitz proceeded to find that most of the searches done by components of DOD and VA were inadequate. Describing the search done by the Navy, Kravitz noted that "rather than describing [the] reasons for selecting only certain commands for [database] search and not others, [the Navy] simply states that [its] search coordinators 'determined it was unlikely that any other commands would have responsive records.' [The Navy] therefore implicitly avers that all files likely to contain responsive material were searched, but [it] fails to provide sufficient details about why [it] selected specific commands for search and not others." He added that "while it may have been reasonable to limit the search terms to Plaintiffs' request, [the Navy] does not explain why [it] chose to do so. Given the lack of a reasonable description, the Court finds that [the Navy's] declaration does not meet the required burden of proof with regard to [its] description of the Naval Inspector General's search." The Action Network complained that the Army did not describe how it maintained records of FOIA requests. But Kravitz noted that a DOD supplemental affidavit explained that because DOD components do not record information on requests from service members, it could not produce it. But Kravitz agreed with the Action Network that the Army's search terms focused too narrowly on sexual assault and did not include terms like "rape." Kravitz indicated that "'sexual assault' is easily read as encompassing rape and other nonconsensual sexual crimes defined in the Army's offense codes. The fact that the agency was unwilling to read the Plaintiffs' request liberally to include such terms seems to be almost willful blindness." Kravitz also rejected the Army's claim that electronic reports were not created because they were not part of a "business as usual" approach to FOIA requests. But Kravitz pointed out that "the question is not whether the creation of a record from an electronic database is business as usual, but rather whether the creation of the record would require 'a significant expenditure of resources. . .that would cause a significant interference' with the agency's information system. Because [the Army] does not elaborate on whether the creation of a record from a search of databases would result in a significant interference, the Court finds that [this] declaration is not sufficient to support the agency's burden of demonstrating that it conducted a reasonable search."
