Complaint attachment 1
Opinion/Order [22]
FOIA Project Annotation: Judge Richard Roberts has ruled that the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence have shown that they have no record of receiving FOIA requests from Rory Walsh, but that the FBI has not yet shown that Walsh failed to appeal the agency's denial of his request. Walsh alleged he had been harassed for years by former Marine Corps commandant Michael Hagee. He requested a copy of an allegedly false medical evaluation from the VA office in Wilmington, Delaware. The Wilmington office searched its list of FOIA requests for receipt of Walsh's request, as did VA offices in Philadelphia and Lebanon, Pennsylvania, but none of the offices found any indication that Walsh had submitted a FOIA request. The agency also contacted the Release of Information office, which handles requests from veterans for their own medical records, but found no indication that Walsh had made a request. Roberts noted that "Walsh has submitted no proof that he mailed this request, or that the VA received it. The VA has presented undisputed evidence that it searched for Walsh's FOIA request in the places that Walsh's FOIA request to the VA would have been located, but did not discover any such request. Thus, either Walsh never properly initiated an exhausted the FOIA administrative process, or if he did send a valid request, the VA has shown that it does not have the request and the request was not exhausted." As for the ODNI, the office reviewed a listing of the FOIA requests it received but found no request from Walsh. Rogers indicated that "ODNI conducted a search reasonably calculated to locate Walsh's alleged FOIA request and did not discover any such request." The FBI denied Walsh access to the name of the director of its Harrisburg, Pennsylvania field office. Walsh alleged he had appealed that decision, but the FBI told the court it contacted OIP and confirmed that OIP had no record of receiving Walsh's appeal. But Roberts pointed out that "the FBI does not provide factual detail to show that its searches for Walsh's responses were reasonably calculated to find his response, nor does the FBI provide any evidence, such as a return receipt, that would resolve the factual dispute about whether it mailed Walsh [a letter explaining that it had rejected his request]. Therefore, the FBI's motion for summary judgment will be denied."
Issues: Request - Receipt
Opinion/Order [40]
FOIA Project Annotation: Judge Richard Roberts has ruled that the FBI conducted an adequate search for records concerning the alleged harassment of Rory Walsh by FBI agents at the behest of his former Marine commandant, but that the agency has not shown that the name of the resident agent in charge of the FBI's Harrisburg Office is protected by Exemption 7(C) (invasion of privacy concerning law enforcement records). Walsh filed suit after the FBI failed to locate any records concerning Walsh's claims of harassment. Noting that the FBI searched for records using Walsh's birth date and several variations of his name, Roberts observed that "despite the FBI's unsuccessful effort to get from Walsh more identifying information that would enable a reasonable search for responsive records, the FBI resourcefully used information it gleaned from Walsh's submissions in this case to conduct an appropriate, reasonable search to find the information Walsh sought." Turning to the privacy claim, however, Roberts dismissed the agency's argument. He noted that "even if FBI redaction policy rather than the text of the FOIA and binding case law interpreting it set the standard for measuring proper application of FOIA exemptions, the FBI has not demonstrated that withholding the names of these agents was even consistent with the FBI's own policy. . .[The agency's ] website does not conceal the identities of all former supervisory agents in charge of the Harrisburg office. . .And it is not clear at all that the risk of harassment of the head of an office elevates that agent's privacy interests above the public interest in disclosing his or her identity. It is especially uncertain since the FBI presents no evidence that it conceals the names of the agents who head its resident agencies and field offices." Roberts added that "that is information that would intuitively seem to be public anyway and not shielded otherwise by FBI practices."
Issues: Adequacy - Search, Exemption 7(C) - Invasion of privacy concerning law enforcement records
