| 2023-03-24 | 224 | ORDER: The defendants argue in their Memorandum in Support of their Motion for Summary Judgment, (Doc. No. [216-1]), that by opting initially to challenge only the withholding of the Executive Order ("EO") Report, the plaintiffs waived their right to challenge any of the withholdings asserted in three additional Department of State ("State") documents. ( See Doc. No. [216-1] at 12). In support of their position, the defendants rely upon a case involving markedly different facts. ( See id. , citing Am. Ctr. for L. & Just. v. DOJ , 325 F. Supp. 3d 162 (D.D.C. 2018)). In that case, the Court prohibited a party from expanding the scope of the issues it sought to raise on a motion for summary judgment after a briefing schedule was set and the party's opening brief was filed. See Am. Ctr. for L. & Just. , 325 F. Supp. 3d at 168-69 (emphasis added); see also Nat. Day Lab. Org. Network v. ICE , 811 F. Supp. 2d 713, 738 (S.D.N.Y. 2011) (holding that plaintiff waived FOIA challenges not raised in its brief). Here, however, the plaintiffs raised challenges to three additional State documents during a status conference on December 16, 2022, three days before the parties proposed a briefing schedule. ( See Doc. Nos. 210 , 211 ). The parties' Joint Status Report, which the undersigned adopted on December 22, 2022, explicitly stated that the "[p]laintiffs intend[ed] to cross-move for summary judgment to challenge Defendants' withholdings of four documents ." (Doc. No. 211 at 1) (emphasis added). Accordingly, the Court will consider the plaintiffs' challenge to the defendants' withholding of the EO Report and the three additional State documents. The defendants previously provided the EO Report to the Court for an in camera review; however, they did not provide a copy of the three State documents that they have withheld pursuant to FOIA exemptions. The defendants argue that State properly asserted FOIA Exemption 7(E) to withhold portions of a document entitled "ALDAC: Heightened Screening of Visa Applications Further Guidance; MRN: 17 STATE 52856" ("State Cable") and another entitled "Operational Q&As on 17 STATE 25814 and 17 STATE 52856" ("Operational Q&A"). ( See Doc. No. [216-1] at 33). Furthermore, the defendants maintain that State properly asserted the deliberative process and attorney-client privileges under FOIA Exemption 5 to withhold in full a third document entitled "Supporting Statement for Paperwork Reduction Act Submission," related to 82 Fed. Reg. 20,956 ("PRA Supporting Statement"). ( Id. ). The Court must examine the three State documents in camera to determine whether the defendants have a valid basis for withholding them, and whether and to what extent privilege may have been waived. See ACLU v. DOJ , 15 CV 1954(CM), 2016 WL 889739, at *5-6 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 25, 2016) (requiring the government to produce documents withheld under a FOIA exemption for in camera review so that the Court could determine whether the exemption applied and to what extent, if any, privilege had been waived). The Court directs the defendants, by March 31, 2023 , to produce the State Cable, the Operational Q&A, and the PRA Supporting Statement in the same manner in which they submitted the EO Report, indicating each portion that has been withheld from each document and the FOIA exemption justifying each withholding.

| 2023-04-17 | 229 | ORDER granting in part and denying in part the defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment, (Doc. No. 216 ), and denying the plaintiffs' Motion for Summary Judgment, (Doc. No. 217 ): For the reasons stated in the attached decision, the defendants' motion for summary judgment, (Doc. No. 216 ), is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART , and the plaintiffs' cross-motion for summary judgment, (Doc. No. 217 ), is DENIED . The Court grants summary judgment in the defendants' favor as to the following withholdings: 1) DHS withholding of portions of the EO Report pursuant to the deliberative process privilege under Exemption 5; 2) DHS and State withholdings of portions of the EO Report under Exemptions 1 and 7(E); 3) ODNI withholding of portions of the EO Report under Exemptions 1 and 3; 4) State withholding of portions of the State Cable and the Operational Q&A under Exemption 7(E); and 5) State withholding of the PRA Supporting Statement in full pursuant to the attorney-client and deliberative process privileges under Exemption 5. The Court finds as moot the parties' motions for summary judgment as to the portions of the EO Report withheld by the CIA and NSA since they are identical to those that were properly withheld by the ODNI under Exemptions 1 and 3. Insofar as there exists a genuine issue of material fact as to whether DHS properly withheld the EO Report in full pursuant to the presidential communications privilege under Exemption 5, the case shall proceed to a factual hearing only on this discrete issue. This is not a recommended ruling. The parties consented to proceed before a United States Magistrate Judge in August 2019, (Doc. Nos. 61 , 62 , 63 ), with any appeal to be made directly to the Court of Appeals. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 73(b)-(c). Signed by Judge Robert M. Spector on April 17, 2023.
