Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: Judge James Boasberg has ruled that the Department of Justice has now shown that it conducted an adequate search and properly withheld records under Exemption 5 (privileges), Exemption 6 (invasion of privacy), and Exemption 7(C) (invasion of privacy concerning law enforcement records) in responding to Babar Javed Butt's FOIA request for records pertaining to his criminal conviction in the Southern District of Texas, leading to his pending deportation. Butt submitted a FOIA request to the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys for records concerning his conviction. The agency located 329 pages of potentially responsive records. The agency concluded that 280 pages were responsive and disclosed 35 pages in part. Butt challenged the adequacy of the agency's search. However, Boasberg explained that "while its initial declarations may not have been specific enough to demonstrate that it conducted an adequate search, it subsequently provided detailed supplemental declarations. The Court is satisfied that the latter demonstrate that EOUSA's search was adequate." Boasberg faulted the agency's search only to the extent that it had not searched for emails from U.S. Attorney Ryan Patrick because they might be privileged. Boasberg indicated that "the adequacy of a search and the application of FOIA exemptions are two separate issues; an agency cannot refuse to search a certain location just because that search could uncover materials that may fall under a privilege. Second, while Patrick was not U.S. Attorney when Plaintiff was indicted in 2016, Butt's criminal case obviously continued after that time, as it was not closed until April 2020." He added that "as the Government's explanation for Patrick's exclusion is thus unsatisfactory, Defendants must either search its physical or digital records for potentially responsive materials or offer a declaration better explaining why they need not do so." Butt argued that various records were not privileged because they were created after his conviction. But Boasberg pointed out that "while many of these documents do fall into this category, that matters little. Myriad proceedings occur in the typical criminal case between plea and termination, including sentencing, and at times, an appeal."
