2018-10-1914MOTION for Leave to File Response to Defendant's Declaration Regarding Production Schedule by BUZZFEED INC. (Attachments: # 1 Exhibit Response to Declaration)(Topic, Matthew) (Entered: 10/19/2018)
2018-10-19MINUTE ORDER granting 14 Motion for Leave to File Response to Defendant's Declaration Regarding Production Schedule. Signed by Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson on 10/19/2018. (lckbj1) (Entered: 10/19/2018)
2018-10-1915RESPONSE to Defendant's Declaration Regarding Production Schedule filed by BUZZFEED INC.. (Topic, Matthew) (Entered: 10/19/2018)
2018-10-22MINUTE ORDER. The Court has reviewed ICEs declaration 13 , and while it has no reason to question the comprehensive description of ICEs current processing capacity with respect to an ordinary request (see Paragraph 18 (explaining that, given the number of employees who are working on FOIA requests and the number of pending requests, the agency cannot produce more than 500 pages per month in each case)), the declaration does not address the fact that the instant request qualifies for special treatment given its declared expedited processing status, and the agencys considerable and unexplained delay in producing ANY records in this matter, particularly in light of its purported first-in, first-out approach to managing backlogged requests. (See Paragraph 17.) The fact that the agency may have granted this request for expedited processing in error is irrelevant; the request at issue has been delegated as such. Moreover, because this case involves a request that was submitted at the end of FY 2017, and the parties have now entered FY 2019 without any records having been produced, the agency will need to shift resources to address the pending request at a faster rate than it is handling other matters. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that ICE process the approximately 8,100 pages of responsive records at a rate of 1,000 pages per month, to be completed on or before August 1, 2019. It is further ORDERED that the first monthly production must occur on or before December 1, 2018, and that the parties shall file a status report 60 days after the first production and every 60 days thereafter. Signed by Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson on 10/22/2018. (lckbj3) (Entered: 10/22/2018)
2019-02-13MINUTE ORDER. On October 22, 2018, this Court entered a minute order requiring ICE to process records at a rate of 1,000 pages per month, with the first production to take place on or before December 1, 2018. (See Minute Order of October 22, 2018.) The Court further ordered the parties to "file a status report 60 days after the first production and every 60 days thereafter." (See id.) The first of these joint status reports should have been filed no later than February 1, 2019, but, to date, the parties have not done so. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the parties file a joint status report on or before February 25, 2019. Signed by Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson on 2/13/19. (lckbj3) (Entered: 02/13/2019)
