Plaintiff | Patricia Rorrer | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Case Description | Patricia Rorrer, a state prisoner, submitted a FOIA request to the FBI for records concerning DNA analysis conducted between 1994 and 1998 pertaining to the murders of Joann and Alex Katrinak, for which Rorrer had been convicted. The FBI told Rorrer that it had located 1,935 pages of potentially responsive records which could be disclosed on 4 CDS for $55. Rorrer agreed to pay, but by the time the agency had finished processing the records, all but 22 of them were withheld under Exemption 6 (invasion of privacy) and Exemption 7(C) (invasion of privacy concerning law enforcement records). Rorrer filed an administrative appeal, which was denied. She then filed suit. Complaint issues: Litigation - Attorney's fees | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
