PlaintiffJ MICHAEL GOODSON
Case DescriptionCrestek, Inc. submitted a FOIA request to the IRS for records concerning the agency's administrative audit of Crestek. The agency acknowledged receipt of the request and continued to indicate to Crestek that it would need more time to process the request. Six months later, Crestek submitted a supplemental FOIA request for records concerning communications of various IRS staffers who worked on the audit. The agency acknowledged receipt of Crestek's second FOIA request, but after hearing nothing further from the agency Crestek filed suit. Crestek originally filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas in September 2016. However, the case has now been transferred to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

Opinion/Order [49]
FOIA Project Annotation: Judge Trevor McFadden has ruled that the IRS conducted an adequate search for records concerning Crestek, Inc.'s tax liabilities from 2006 through 2014 and that it properly withheld records under Exemption 5 (privileges). In response to Crestek's request, the agency located 14,482 pages and disclosed 12,467 entirely. It withheld 920 pages entirely and redacted portions of 1,095 pages. Crestek challenged the adequacy of the agency's search, arguing that the author of one of the agency's affidavits had relied on others to identify responsive records even though he had identified records that others did not have. McFadden disagreed, noting that "but the [affidavit] â€" and Crestek's observation that [the affiant] identified responsive records that others overlooked â€" shows that he did not simply rely on others." The agency withheld a number of records citing the deliberative process privilege. Crestek claimed that six redacted emails dealing with whether Crestek qualified for Fast Track were not deliberative. McFadden pointed out that "these communications were about whether the issues in Crestek's case were suitable for Fast Track settlement and about how the IRS might withdraw the Fast Track application if it wished. They were predecisional and deliberative because they helped the IRS decide whether to pursue a Fast Track settlement or withdraw the Fast Track application." Crestek also challenged redactions in emails concerning Crestek's request for assistance from the Taxpayer Advocate Office, which has significant power over employees' decisions. McFadden noted that "the IRS exam team discussed 'what the IRS could do in the Crestek audit while it was uncertain whether the Taxpayer Advocate office would intervene' in the team's denial of Crestek's Application for Fast Track Settlement. These are deliberations that preceded a decision about what next steps the team should take, and they enjoy the protection of the deliberative process privilege." McFadden found the agency's claims of attorney work product were also appropriate. Crestek challenged four documents showing timelines because they did not specify the name of the author, sender, or recipient. McFadden observed that "the IRS has stated that the timelines were prepared at the direction of IRS counsel to help respond to allegations of misconduct. This shows that the timelines were prepared by or for a party â€" the IRS â€" and by or for a party's representative â€" IRS counsel."
