| 2021-11-10 | 45 | NOTICE OF SUBSTITUTION OF COUNSEL by Douglas C. Dreier on behalf of U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE Substituting for attorney Johnny H. Walker, III (Dreier, Douglas) (Entered: 11/10/2021) |
| 2022-03-28 | | MINUTE ORDER denying without prejudice Defendant's 29 Motion for Summary Judgment and Plaintiff's 30 Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment. In this FOIA case, the parties have cross-moved for summary judgment as to the propriety of Defendant's withholdings under FOIA Exemption 5. See 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(5). Exemption 5 protects inter-agency or intra-agency memorandums or letters that would not be available by law to a party other than an agency in litigation with the agency. One of the central disagreements between the parties involves Defendant's invocation of the deliberative process privilege to justify its withholding of the records in dispute, in full or in part. Defendant has the burden to show that this privilege, and thus Exemption 5 applies, and Defendant submitted a declaration and Vaughn Index in support of its motion. See 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(4)(B); ECF No. 29-3. After briefing concluded, the D.C. Circuit issued two opinions that significantly clarify what an agency invoking the deliberative process privilege must show to meet its burden at summary judgment. In the first case, the Circuit explained that the "agency invoking the deliberative process privilege must show (1) what deliberative process is involved, and (2) the role played by the documents in issue in the course of that process." Jud. Watch, Inc. v. U.S. Dep't of Just. , 20 F.4th 49, 55 (D.C. Cir. 2021) (cleaned up). In addition, it "should also explain (3) the nature of the decisionmaking authority vested in the officer or person issuing the disputed document, and (4) the relative positions in the agency's chain of command occupied by the document's author and recipient." Id. (cleaned up). In the second case, the Circuit held that, with respect to an agency's explanation of foreseeable harm, "what is needed is a focused and concrete demonstration of why disclosure of the particular type of material at issue will, in the specific context of the agency action at issue, actually impede those same agency deliberations going forward." Reps. Comm. for Freedom of the Press v. FBI , 3 F.4th 350, 370 (D.C. Cir. 2021). Moreover, it pronounced that a "boilerplate, unparticularized, and hypothesized assertion of harm" was "insufficient." Id. The parties' briefing reflects disputes over precisely the issues in these cases: the required level of specificity Defendant must provide about the deliberative process affected and the foreseeable harm in disclosure. Further, the standard reflected in these cases may well undercut Defendant's position here, at least as the record now stands. In fact, Defendant cites the district court opinion reversed by the Circuit when arguing that the language in its declaration about the chilling effect of disclosure is sufficient for summary judgment. See ECF No. 36 at 13. Thus, upon the Court's review of the parties' briefing, Defendant's declaration and Vaughn index, and these recently-decided D.C. Circuit cases, it is hereby ORDERED that the parties' 29 30 motions for summary judgment are DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. It is further ORDERED that by April 28, 2022, the parties shall meet and confer and file a joint status report regarding how they wish to proceed, including, if appropriate, a proposed schedule for renewed briefing or disclosure.
