2008-09-1921ORDER GRANTING AND DENYING MOTIONS FOR PARTIAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT: IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, consistent with the Court's rulings at the OralArgument and during the in camera proceedings, 1. Plaintiffs' third partial summary judgment motion is granted to the extent that the Court has previously ordered the release of certain information, as set forth above; 2. The Court's disclosure rulings with respect to DOD documents shall be applied to other responsive DOD documents where the same rationale for release applies; 3. The Court's disclosure rulings with respect to the final version of OIG Other Document No.5 shall be applied within the class of documents consisting of records contained in closed OIG files to other documents where the same rationale for release applies; 4. The Court's disclosure rulings with respect to OLC Document Nos. 12 and70 shall be applied within the class of documents consisting of classified records that OLCreferred to CIA for processing to other documents where the same rationale for release applies;5. The Court's disclosure rulings with respect to Item 29 shall be applied toother documents addressed in the parties' third cross-motions for summary judgment that are from OLC to CIA and that contain the same legal reasoning as Item 29; 6. The Court's disclosure rulings with respect to Item 29 are not applicable to the memoranda at issue in the OLC Motion, although Plaintiffs are not precluded from arguing in the future that Exemption 5 is inapplicable to those memoranda for the same reasons the Court held the exemption to be inapplicable to Item 29, and the Government is not precluded from opposing any such argument;7. Except as set forth in the disclosure orders described in the whereasclauses above, the Government's third motion for partial summary judgment is granted, as the Court concludes, based on its review of the Government's submissions and its in camera review, that the Government has satisfied its burden of establishing that the Government has released all reasonably segregable, nonexempt information. 8. The Court enters final judgment with respect to the rulings described in paragraph 7 above because there is no just reason for delay of any appeal of those rulings. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b). 9. The Court retains jurisdiction over the pending CIA Motion and any further proceedings concerning the OLC Motion but otherwise dismisses this case as against all other remaining defendants, including: 1) the Department of Defense and its components; 2) the Department of Homeland Security; 3) the Department of State; and 4) the Department of Justice and its components other than OLC.
