Case DescriptionDebbie Coffey submitted a FOIA request to the Bureau of Land Management for records about the Wild Horse and Burro Program, particularly long-term contracts. The agency acknowledged receipt of Coffey's request, denied her request for a fee waiver, and told her the estimated cost of her request would be $1,680, which Coffey agreed to pay. Coffey sent a check to the agency. The agency indicated that her request was being processed, but after hearing nothing further from the agency, Coffey filed suit.

Opinion/Order [22]
FOIA Project Annotation: Judge James Boasberg has ruled that the Bureau of Land Management has not yet shown that it conducted an adequate search for records of conversations BLM employees Lili Thomas and Beatrice Wade had with contractors operating long-term holding facilities for wild horses and burros. After researching the agency's wild horse and burro program, Debbie Coffey sent the agency a FOIA request specifically for communications between contractors and Thomas or Wade. She told the agency that the records were located in the BLM's Environmental Assessment prepared for each long-term holding facility and supplied a list of locations for 24 current long-term holding facilities in city-state format. Coffey explained that she was not looking for inter- or intra-agency records. She also requested a fee waiver. The agency denied her fee waiver request and told her instead that the estimated cost of processing her request was $1,680. She paid the fee, but the agency subsequently refunded the fee because it had failed to respond within the statutory deadline. In its response, the agency disclosed 514 pages, only three pages of which were responsive to Coffey's request. Because of an employee's error in processing the request, the remaining pages consisted of inter- or intra-agency records which Coffey had not requested. Although the agency refunded the entire amount of the estimated fee, Coffey argued it was responsible for $6.81 in interest as well. The agency argued that "FOIA does not expressly waive the government's sovereign immunity with respect to interest." Boasberg agreed, pointing out that "although Coffey's concerns about the length of time that BLM retained her processing fees are understandable, the Court concludes that the no-interest rule forecloses her argument here." While Boasberg found the agency had reasonably explained its decision to limit its search to the Wild Horse and Burro Office, he faulted the agency for narrowing its search by restricting it to communications only with contractors. He also found the agency's insistence on using the city-state identifiers supplied by Coffey limited the number of potentially responsive records as well. He indicated that "the Court is hard pressed to conclude that location search terms encompassing both city and state�"and thus excluding records containing only the city or state of each facility�"would be reasonably calculated to accomplish the task." He agreed with Coffey that searching the email addresses of the facilities would likely locate responsive communications. However, he pointed out that "after conducting another search with different terms, BLM might well explain in a renewed motion for summary judgment why its omission of Plaintiff's preferred keywords and inclusion of others was reasonable under the circumstances; perhaps, for example, they are not all as readily available as the Court presently infers. In addition, if Defendant reasonably believes that searching with email addresses would be likely to uncover all responsive correspondence between the individuals and BLM, if would not need to additionally search for the individuals' and facilities' names. At this juncture, however, the Court cannot conclude that a search using neither names nor email addresses, and instead using the facilities' locations and contracting-related terms, is adequate to pass muster under FOIA's standard of reasonableness."
Issues: Adequacy - Search
Opinion/Order [39]
FOIA Project Annotation: Judge James Boasberg has ruled that although Debbie Coffey is entitled to attorney's fees for her suit against the Bureau of Land Management he found that because the number of hours claimed was both insufficiently detailed and excessive her fee request should be reduced by 50 percent from $125,541 to $69, 019. Boasberg previously ordered the agency to conduct a second search and after Coffey reviewed the records released as a result of the second search, the only remaining issue was the question of fees. The agency questioned whether Coffey's timekeeping was accurate. Boasberg agreed that some aspects of her timekeeping were sloppy, noting that Coffey's attorney had already recalculated his rates to reduce the fee request by $9,000. Boasberg pointed out that "the Court does not infer from these isolated mistakes that counsel's timekeeping was generally not contemporaneous." But he agreed with the agency that Coffey "cannot recover fees for tasks related to timekeeping itself." He also deducted $2,000 Coffey paid to an expert witness to review her fee request. Boasberg noted that "paying another attorney to review Plaintiff's attorneys' records for reasonableness is an unnecessary use of funds and one the Court will not recompense." He also agreed with the agency that the time reviewing documents released by BLM was not compensable. More broadly, Boasberg sided with the agency's claim that the number of hours claimed for Coffey's various motions was excessive. He pointed out that "a general discount on fees sought for the motions of 50% is appropriate. The Court arrives at this figure because it determines that the preparation of the motions could have been accomplished in approximately half the time listed."
