| 2019-03-11 | 15 | STATUS REPORT by CENTER FOR REPRODUCTIVE RIGHTS. (Attachments: # 1 Exhibit A, # 2 Exhibit B, # 3 Exhibit C, # 4 Exhibit D, # 5 Text of Proposed Order)(Miller, Wendy) (Entered: 03/11/2019) |
| 2019-03-11 | | MINUTE ORDER. The Court is in receipt of the defendant's 14 Status Report and the plaintiff's 15 Status Report, which contains a request for relief from the Court. It is ORDERED that the defendant shall file any opposition to the plaintiff's request for relief on or before March 25, 2019. Signed by Judge Dabney L. Friedrich on March 11, 2019. (lcdlf1) (Entered: 03/11/2019) |
| 2019-03-25 | 16 | RESPONSE re 15 Status Report in opposition to requested relief filed by U.S. DEPARTMENT OF STATE. (Attachments: # 1 Declaration of Eric F. Stein)(Hair, Christopher) (Entered: 03/25/2019) |
| 2019-04-03 | | MINUTE ORDER. Upon consideration of the plaintiff's 15 Status Report and the defendant's 16 Response, it is ORDERED that the defendant shall process a minimum of 300 pages of records for each monthly production. It is further ORDERED that the parties shall file another joint status report on or before June 10, 2019. The plaintiff's request to increase the Department of States's processing rate to 1,000 pages per month is DENIED. The plaintiff's request that the Department prepare a Vaughn index for each monthly production is also DENIED. The Department is currently responding to thousands of requests for records while making productions in 37 other lawsuits. See Stein Decl., Dkt. 16-2. And granting the plaintiff's request would require the Department to devote 5% of its FOIA reviewers to this action full time, at the expense of other pending FOIA matters. See id. Under the circumstances, the Court finds that it is reasonable for the Department to process records in this matter at its standard rate of 300 pages per month. In addition, the Court finds that requiring the Department to prepare indexes for each monthly production would hinder its efforts to process records expeditiously. The Court will set a deadline for the Department to prepare a Vaughn index if and when the parties request a briefing schedule for dispositive motions. Signed by Judge Dabney L. Friedrich on April 3, 2019. (lcdlf1) (Entered: 04/03/2019) |
