PlaintiffVANCE GREEN
Case DescriptionVance Green, a researcher and producer for a local cable news program, sent a FOIA request in 2012 to the Justice Department for all records concerning defendants who were arrested in response to the government's Sept. 11, 2001 lookout bulletin. Green reminded the agency that he was renewing a request originally submitted in 2009. The agency informed Green that it had found 2606 pages of records as well as 14 CDs and would disclose them if Green paid $275 in estimated fees. Green told the agency that since it had missed the time limit for responding it could no longer charge fees. He also sent a request for expedited processing. Green also submitted similar FOIA requests to the Federal Aviation Administration and the Department of Defense. After the agencies failed to provide records, Green filed suit.
