| 2021-03-30 | 70 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Mary M. Rowland: Stevens's Motion to Compel 44 is denied. Opinion to follow. However, as described in greater detail in the memorandum and opinion, the various agencies' withholdings and redactions remain a live issue in this case, requiring further briefing. The government may file a renewed motion for summary judgement. Along with the motion, the government must file a Vaughn index or equivalently comprehensive document to aid the Court in its analysis. Given the delay, the Court expects that the government will provide exceptionally clear and detailed justifications to allow for a comprehensive resolution of the issues. The government's Motion for Summary Judgment 54 is granted in part and denied in part. Opinion to follow. The motion is granted as to USGS and ICE on the issue of adequacy of search. As to USAGM and HHS, summary judgement is denied due to insufficient detail in their declarations describing their search process. Summary judgement is also denied as to USCIS and USAID because their searches related to Northwestern University were inadequate. Telephonic status set for 4/19/21 at 9:30 AM.
