Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: A federal court in Florida has ruled that the FBI must process Daniel Villanueva's FOIA request at the rate of 5,125 pages a month until it completes processing the remaining 20,500 pages. Villanueva filed suit in August 2019 14 months after his original request. Two months later, the FBI asserted Exemption 7(A) (interference with ongoing investigation or proceeding) based on the lack of finality of one of the defendants in the underlying criminal investigation who had a petition for certiorari pending with the Supreme Court. In November 2019, the FBI identified 21,000 responsive pages and disclosed 500 pages. At that time, the agency indicated it could complete Villanueva's request in ten months. However, when the magistrate judge ruled, the FBI still had done nothing more than release the original 500 pages. Instead, it asked the court to allow it to respond pursuant to its normal 500-page-per-month rate, taking a total of seven years to complete Villanueva's 2018 request. The magistrate judge faulted the FBI's handling of the request. He noted that "the defendants ignore the following facts: the plaintiff's June 2018 FOIA request has been pending for three and a half years and only 500 of 21,000 pages of responsive documents have been produced; the defendants' failure to comply with the FOIA requirements in apprising the Court of the factual bases to withhold 20,500 pages of responsive documents; and the defendants' failure to produce a sufficient Vaughn index or declaration during the pendency of the plaintiff's June 2018 FOIA request and in disregard of the defendants' self-proposed December 2020 deadline. The defendants' Motion essentially requests a three-and-a-half-year extension of the Court-imposed October 2021 deadlines." The magistrate judge noted that "seven years to complete the processing of plaintiff's June 2018 FOIA request is too long." As a result, he ordered the FBI to process the request at a rate of 5, 125 pages a month, to be completed in four months. However, the magistrate judge declined to sanction the agency's behavior.
