The declaration in support of defendant's renewed motion for summary judgment [30-1] makes reference to at least one record that "conveys information sharing Mr. Blair's knowledge about actual Presidential deliberations regarding" a particular issue. See, e.g., Paoletta Decl. para. 20(h). The parties may each submit a supplemental memorandum addressing the specific question of whether, assuming for purposes of this exercise that Mr. Blair served as an immediate advisor to the President, communications that do not solicit information from, but instead transmit information to, persons outside the White House, are covered by the D.C. Circuit's extension of the presidential communications privilege to shield "communications made by presidential advisers in the course of preparing advice for the President... [g]iven the need... for advisers to obtain information from all knowledgeable sources...." In re Sealed Case, 121 F.3d 729, 752 (1997). The supplemental memoranda, which may not exceed 5 pages and which need not repeat any of the facts or any of the rhetoric contained in the extensive prior briefing, are due on March 8, 2021. Signed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson on 3/2/21. (lcabj2) (Entered: 03/02/2021) |

The Court has already solicited supplemental briefing with respect to the question of whether Duffey's requests for information from Blair and Blair's responses (as opposed to Blair's requests for information and Duffey's responses) fall within the scope of the executive privilege. The parties should also address whether pre-existing documents generated outside the White House, transmitted by Duffey to Blair as attachments to emails per Blair's request (as opposed to documents created by OMB to convey information requested by Blair), are covered by either the executive privilege or the deliberative process privilege. The memoranda may now extend to 7 pages and may be submitted by March 10, 2021; if the parties are relying on cases detailed in earlier memoranda, they may simply cite the case and refer the court to the discussion in the earlier pleading.
