Case DescriptionThe Wolk Law Firm, representing Don and Ingrid Goldstein in a suit involving the death of their son in an airplane crash, submitted several FOIA requests to the National Transportation Safety Board for records concerning its investigation of the crash. The NTSB denied their requests and the Wolk Law Firm appealed those denials, which were upheld by the agency. The Wolk Law Firm then filed suit.

Opinion/Order [56]
FOIA Project Annotation: A federal court in Pennsylvania has ruled that the National Transportation Safety Board conducted an adequate search for records pertaining to seven airplane crash investigations requested by the Wolk Law Firm, representing the families of various crash victims, including the parents of Mark Goldstein, and that the agency properly withheld records under Exemption 3 (other statutes), Exemption 4 (confidential business information), Exemption 5 (privileges), and Exemption 6 (invasion of privacy), and although the agency had no obligation to provide further records pertaining to the aircraft involved in the Goldstein crash since the plane had been sent to a salvage company in Dallas, because the agency did not claim any exemptions for records related to the wreckage, it must disclose chain-of-custody or similar records in its files pertaining to the wreckage. A passenger on the crash that killed Mark Goldstein had taken a cell phone video during the incident. The NTSB withheld the record under Exemption 3, citing 49 U.S.C. § 1114(c)(1), prohibiting the NTSB from disclosing any cockpit video recording of an accident. Wolk argued that the video was subject to discovery if relevant. The court initially found that § 1114(c)(1) clearly qualified as a prohibition to disclosure under Exemption 3. But the court was skeptical that § 1114(c)(1)'s prohibition extended to cell phones. The agency relied on CIA v. Sims, 471 U.S. 159 (1985), and Aronson v. IRS, 973 F.2d 962 (1st Cir. 1992), to support its claim that agencies had leeway to reasonably interpret Exemption 3 statutes, but the court noted that other circuits had disagreed with the holding in Aronson and that there was no Third Circuit precedent. The court explained that "the NTSB's deference argument requires the Court to parse the command of conducting de novo review to mean only part of the agency's decision is reviewed rather than the matter as a whole" and added that "the Court is not confident that such parsing is the appropriate default mode of analysis." Nevertheless, the court agreed with the agency, pointing out that "what is important is the prohibition on disclosure of recordings made of the cockpit; the manner of recording is immaterial." The court found that the agency properly withheld records under the deliberative process privilege. Rejecting Wolk's argument that some discussions did not result in decisions, the court explained that "it is of no moment that the process may not result in an adjudication or the adoption of a policy; rather, the deliberative process is at work, has yet to be completed, and will likely result in the issuance of a report with recommendations." The court indicated that the privacy rights of victims outweighed any public interest. The court noted that "the documents reveal little-to-nothing at all about the agency's activities and conduct, rather the documents concern medical issues and medical opinions." The court acknowledged that since the NTSB no longer had the wreckage from the Goldstein crash "one cannot produce that which one does not have." But the court indicated that "to the extent the NTSB at some time did have the wreckage pieces, the NTSB must have prepared chain of custody records, and such records could be produced."
Issues: Adequacy - Search, Exemption 3 - Statutory prohibition of disclosure
