Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: Judge Amy Berman Jackson has ruled that while the FBI has shown that the Murder Accountability Project failed to exhaust its administrative remedies in regard to its request for records on the agency's implementation of the Uniform Crime Reporting Act of 1988, its multiple requests to other law enforcement agencies for similar records are still unresolved. MAP uses government database information to identify previously unrecognized serial homicides. Besides the FBI, MAP requested data from the National Park Service, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and the Defense Department. Along with its FOIA request to the FBI, MAP also sent a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, asking for his assistance in securing the homicide data. The FBI treated the letter to Wray as a second FOIA request. The agency provided MAP with two CDs of data it contended was responsive to the requests. MAP did not file an administrative appeal but included the FBI in its FOIA suit against the all the agencies. Berman Jackson agreed that MAP had not exhausted its administrative remedies. She noted that "plaintiff never addressed the fundamental principle underlying the FBI's denial, that is, whether FOIA requires an agency to compile or create new records, and it chose not to file a timely appeal to air its concerns and generate a record in the manner contemplated by the statute. Under the circumstances, dismissal for failure to exhaust is appropriate." NPS responded to MAP's request asking for data that the agency failed to report under the UFCRA. The agency responded with a two-page table covering the years 1995-2014 and told MAP that more recent data would be contained in DOI's database maintained by the Office of Law Enforcement and Security. NPS argued that MAP had failed to exhaust its administrative remedies by failing to file an administrative appeal. But Berman Jackson indicated that "here, because defendant NPS processed the request, and the agency has already addressed the adequacy of its response on the merits, it appears that there would be little additional benefit to be derived from further consideration of the matter by the agency. Therefore, the Court will not dismiss the claim on exhaustion grounds." She then found that NPS had conducted an adequate search. She pointed out that "in light of the agency's detailed declarations regarding its efforts to comply with plaintiff's specific request, the Court finds that NPS conducted a reasonable and adequate search. . ." The Bureau of Indian Affairs responded by disclosing 14,950 individual records without redaction in their original digital format. The records only covered the period from 2014-2019. Since BIA provided no supporting argument as to why MAP had failed to exhaust its administrative remedies, Berman Jackson declined to take up the issue. Turning to the adequacy of the agency's search, she noted that "neither defendant BIA nor [its] declaration addresses why BIA did not produce any records prior to 2014. Since twenty-five years' worth of requested data is not accounted for, or even discussed, one cannot conclude without more from the agency that the search was adequate." The DOD decided that responsive records would be contained in the Defense Incident-Based Reporting System. In response to MAP's requests for service-related incidents, DOD disclosed records from the DIBRS database from each military component. MAP argued that the search was inadequate because no homicide data was released for the first twelve years. Berman Jackson pointed out that "the military defendants struggle to articulate a reason for this deficiency." She added that "the need to search the DMDC DIBRS database in addition is clear, but the military defendants do not explain why that was sufficient on its own. The military defendants emphasize that they did not use search terms to limit responsive data, but that does not go to the question of which databases were searched." Berman Jackson approved DOD's use of Exemption 6 (invasion of privacy) to withhold offenders names, social security numbers, and alien registration numbers, observing that "furthermore, plaintiff is not interested in receiving this information."
