Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: Judge John Bates has ruled that while the FBI's search for records pertaining to Fayiz Mohammed Ahmed Al Kandari and Fawzi Khaled Abdullah Fahad Al Odah may have been adequate it has not yet provided a sufficient explanation to allow Bates to rule in its favor. The International Counsel Bureau requested records on the two individuals and after searching is Central Records System, the FBI indicated that it found no records. Bates noted that "the government has made some strides towards meeting [the legal standard for justifying a search], but ultimately falls just short" in its explanation that the CRS was the only place in which records would likely be found. He pointed out that "it is not the plaintiff's burden to supply particularities. And although the Court takes the agency's declaration in good faith, that principle does not absolve the FBI of its responsibility to provide a 'reasonably detailed affidavit.'" Bates indicated that the FBI had adequately shown why its National Name Check Program would not contain responsive records because it "merely disseminates information from FBI files in response to name check requests received from federal agencies" and that it was not a database itself but "conducts searches of the CRS." Bates noted that "this simple explanation effectively ameliorates ICB's concerns as to the National Name Check Program. A similar description of the rest of the FBI"s system would do much to streamline what remains of this case." The remaining sticking point was the FBI's Data Integration and Visualization System, which "facilitates the sharing of information from internal and external data sources, to include the CRS." Finding the explanation insufficient, Bates pointed out that "the declaration only states that the Data Integration and Visualization System includes CRS; it does not say that CRS is the exclusive source of information in that system. And it provides no information about any other systems that might inform the search, which might not be duplicative at all." Returning the case to the FBI for a more detailed explanation, Bates observed that "the Court is not yet convinced that the FBI has not completed a satisfactory search, it just cannot tell."
