Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: Judge Christopher Cooper has ruled that researcher Ryan Shapiro's request for any records mentioning Nelson Mandela is specific enough to require both the CIA and the NSA to conduct a search. The CIA rejected the request as too broad and the NSA interpreted the request as asking for signals intelligence information on Mandela and issued a Glomar response neither confirming nor denying the existence of records. The CIA initially argued that a search for records on Mandela would be burdensome, but in court it asserted only that Shapiro's request did not reasonably describe the records he sought. Cooper sided with Shapiro instead, noting that "regardless of how onerous it might be to locate them, there can be no dispute about what items are being requested�"records in the CIA's possession that 'mention' Nelson Mandela or his three listed aliases. . .Here, the subject of Shapiro's request is the entirety of each document that mentions Mandela, even if such references are fleeting and tangential. So compliance should involve virtually no guesswork. A record is responsive if and only if it contains Mandela's name (or those of his three listed aliases) or any descriptor obviously referring to him." The CIA pointed out that courts had previously rejected requests for records that "pertained to" or "related to" an individual or subject. But Cooper observed that "there is a difference in kind between requests for documents that 'mention' or 'reference' a specified person or topic and those seeking records 'pertaining to,' 'relating to,' or 'concerning' the same. FOIA's reasonable-description requirement does not doom requests that precisely describe the records sought, even if compliance might overwhelm an agency's response team." He explained that "whether Shapiro's request would require the CIA to expend an unreasonable amount of effort cannot be determined from his request alone, 'on its face.' Although an agency need not comply with unreasonably burdensome FOIA requests, it 'bears the burden to provide a sufficient explanation as to why such a search would be unreasonably burdensome.'" Cooper observed that "the CIA has done nothing of the sort here. In fact, it has overtly declined to file such a declaration, simply asserting in its legal brief that the documents Shapiro requested could not be 'located. . .with a reasonable amount of effort.' Because the scope of Shapiro's request is clear, this is plainly an argument that a satisfactory response would be too burdensome." He rejected the CIA's claim that agency employees would have difficulty determining which records systems to search. Instead, he noted that "FOIA does not require perfection, however." Turning to the NSA's response, Cooper agreed with the agency that to the extent records might reveal signal intelligence they were properly exempt and a Glomar response was appropriate. But he also found the agency had interpreted Shapiro's request too narrowly and ordered the agency to conduct a search for non-signal intelligence records that mentioned Mandela. Cooper dismissed Shapiro's contention that publicly available information established that Mandela had been the target of the agency's signal intelligence operations. Although Shapiro provided a number of public references, Cooper indicated that "these documents may well demonstrate that the NSA was, at some level, 'interested' in Nelson Mandela's activities as a prominent dissident and high-ranking political leader, they do not divulge whether the NSA 'has nor has not targeted Nelson Mandela or considered him to be of SIGNT interest.'"
Issues: Search - Reasonableness of search, Request - Specificity, Determination - Glomar response

FOIA Project Annotation: In ruling in favor of the FBI on most of its exemption and search claims in a case brought by researcher Ryan Shapiro for all intelligence agencies' records pertaining to Nelson Mandela, Judge Christopher Cooper has made some interesting observations concerning the effect of the recent D.C. Circuit decision in American Immigration Lawyers Association v. Executive Office for Immigration Review, 830 F.3d 667 (D.C. Cir. 2016), in which the court ruled that agencies could not withhold records because they were considered non-responsive to the request, but only because they fell within an exemption. But while AILA seems to foreclose the use of non-responsiveness as a basis for agencies withholding records, Cooper discovered that AILA did not address the circumstances present here. While the claim that records do not have to be disclosed to a requester because they are not responsive to the request has been a hotly contested issue, it had not been considered on its merits by the D.C. Circuit until AILA. Although the D.C. Circuit ruled that agencies could not resort to a claim of non-responsiveness for records gathered during the processing of a request, the issue arose in AILA because the Executive Office for Immigration Review had done a line-by-line redaction of information concerning complaints against immigration judges where it decided that certain information did not respond to the plaintiff's request. As a result, the D.C. Circuit rejected such a detailed redaction based on non-responsiveness and told the agency that it could withhold information only under an exemption. But AILA never reached the issue of how an agency decided what records were responsive to a request in the first place. Shapiro refused to limit the scope of his request. As a result, the FBI processed 1,519 responsive records, disclosing 1,244 in full or in part, and withholding 272 pages entirely. The FBI located references to Mandela in reports including unrelated topics. The agency isolated the sections containing references to Mandela, but told Shapiro that the rest of the record was not responsive. Shapiro contended that once the agency decided the report was responsive to his request, it was, under AILA, obligated to review the entire report and disclose it subject to exemption claims. Cooper pointed out that the Office of Information Policy at the Justice Department had issued interpretative guidance on AILA's definition of record to help agencies determine whether or not to divide documents covering multiple topics into discrete records, including the requester's intent, maintaining the integrity of the released documents, the scope of the request, the agency's own knowledge regarding storage and maintenance of documents, efficiency, cost, resource allocation, and maintaining the public's trust in transparency. Finding the FBI's practice was consistent with AILA and OIP's guidance interpreting it, Cooper noted that "the FBI's search returned responsive material and information, some of which was found in document compilations covering multiple, unrelated topics. It located the responsive pages related to Shapiro's FOIA request, and included additional pages, as necessary, to provide context. This set of documents (i.e., pages) became the responsive record, which the FBI then reviewed for statutory exemptions." Cooper added that "the FBI's practice is also in keeping with practical considerations. If an agency was forced to turn over a full manual or entire report every time a single page contained a responsive term, the amount of time, labor, and cost that would be required to review this purportedly 'responsive' material for exemptions would be exponential, hindering the agency's ability to process multiple requests efficiently or allocate its resources effectively." Many of the agency's exemption claims were made under Exemption 7(C) (invasion of privacy concerning law enforcement records), Exemption 7(D) (confidential sources), and Exemption 7(E) (investigative methods and techniques). Shapiro challenged the Exemption 7(C) claims, arguing that the FBI had not done enough to determine whether individuals were dead or were publicly known. Shapiro faulted the FBI for not checking whether individuals were listed in the social security database. Cooper pointed out that "it is not apparent from the record that the FBI had the means to do so. And even if it did, it would still be unreasonable to require it to look at individuals' social security numbers considering the large volume of responsive records and names." But he agreed with Shapiro that the FBI had not justified redacting names of individuals who may have been publicly charged and convicted of crimes. He observed that "such a privacy interest differs in degree though when that individual was not merely suspected, but publicly charged and convicted of a crime. . .If Shapiro's supposition that the Bankston twins' surname was redacted is correct, the FBI would need to justify why revealing their surname in conjunction with the fact that they were convicted of crimes, implicates privacy concerns that outweigh the public's interest in transparency." Shapiro questioned whether a source in the South African government had been assured confidentiality. Cooper explained that "in examining the disclosed portions of the record, the Court can see that the source had provided information regarding Mandela's then-current whereabouts and had offered an opinion as to what the South African government intended to do with him." Cooper observed that "it would be reasonable for the FBI to infer that this type of information and analysis of the apartheid government's plans and intentions came from a source with a high-level political connection or 'ready access' to areas of national security. . .All of these inferences would support a finding that the Mandela-687 source would only provide information if the source believed his or her identity would remain confidential." Shapiro argued that Exemption 7(E) did not apply because the techniques described in the records were too old to risk circumvention if disclosed. Cooper disagreed. He pointed out that "exposing the methods used to collect information, along with the focus of those investigations, would also purportedly 'reveal resource allocations to that particular area of crime.' These facially logical explanations of why disclosure of information regarding closed cases could reveal 'currently used' law enforcement techniques are sufficient to defeat Shapiro's obsolescence argument."
Issues: Exemption 7(E) - Investigative methods or techniques, Exemption 7(D) - Assurance of confidentiality - Implicit, Exemption 7(C) - Invasion of privacy concerning law enforcement records

FOIA Project Annotation: Judge Christopher Cooper has ruled that the FBI properly responded to Ryan Shapiro's request for records mentioning Nelson Mandela by providing the pages on which Mandela was mentioned as the result of a cross-reference, along with several adjoining pages for context, rather than providing the entire document in which Mandela was mentioned. Shapiro sued the FBI, the CIA, and other intelligence agencies for records mentioning Mandela. Since the FBI had completed processing Shapiro's request, Cooper's decision dealt only with that agency's motion for summary judgement. Cooper had earlier ordered the agency to provide a document about the U.S. delegation's attendance at Mandela's funeral, which the agency had withheld under Exemption 5 (privileges), for in camera review because he was uncertain whether or not the document actually contained recommendations and advice rather than just logistical details. After reviewing it in camera, Cooper agreed with the agency that the record was both pre-decisional and deliberative. He noted that "the plan was distributed between agencies; it was a pre-decisional draft that was 'recommendatory in nature' and could not have become final without additional inputs; and it was part of the 'give-and-take of the consultative process' that occurs between governmental agencies when preparing for an international event with potential security threats." Shapiro argued that documents containing mentions of Mandela should be released in their entirety since they qualified as serials, the basic unit used by the FBI for defining a responsive record. The FBI argued that Shapiro's characterization of serials was not applicable in this case, pointing out that "a serial could be a single document, but it also could be many documents covering different topics." Cooper observed that "that is why the FBI concluded that pages and not serials were the most appropriate unit for defining a record. And it is not Shapiro's place to dictate how an agency should manage or define its records as long as its actions are reasonable and supported by the record."
