Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: A federal court in California has ruled that the FBI and the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys must complete the processing of Harold Pick's FOIA requests concerning its investigation of Nicholas DeLuca, which led Motorola to ultimately sue Pick for copyright infringement. Pick ran a radio-servicing shop, which was raided by the FBI in 2004 because of Pick's unsuspecting involvement with a convicted conman, Nicholas DeLuca. DeLuca was ultimately charged with stealing radio parts from Motorola Solutions. Pick was never charged with a crime but was sued by Motorola for copyright infringement. Pick suspected the FBI gave Motorola the hard drives the FBI confiscated from Pick during the raid, which formed the basis of Motorola's copyright infringement action. Pick submitted FOIA requests to the U.S. Attorney's Office and the FBI concerning the FBI's alleged involvement with the Motorola suit. EOUSA issued a Glomar response neither confirming nor denying the existence of records. Pick appealed that decision to the Office of Information Policy, which remanded the request back to EOUSA to conduct a search. EOUSA claimed it had no record of receiving the remand so Pick heard nothing from EOUSA until he filed suit. The FBI told Pick it had no records but when he contacted the Detroit Field Office that office quickly produced a two-page relevant document. Pick then filed suit against both agencies. Both agencies identified responsive records but Pick still had heard nothing substantive from either agency 14 months later. Although Pick had filed a motion for summary judgment, the agencies insisted that they would not respond to Pick's motion until they had completed processing his requests and provided an index explaining their exemption claims. But District Court Judge John Holcomb noted that "the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure necessarily govern this case, notwithstanding that Defendants may be used to handling FOIA requests in their own way. Those rules clearly provide that 'a party may file a motion for summary judgment at any time until 30 days after the close of all discovery.'" The agencies argued that because of resource restraints they could only move as quickly as those limited resources allowed. Holcomb pointed out that "while the Court is deeply sensitive to those realities â€" and considers them in formulating an appropriate remedy â€" the availability of USAO staff or resources is not relevant to Pick's ability to move for summary judgment under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, let alone his statutory rights under the FOIA. Indeed, when an agency's FOIA program fails to produce 'efficient and appropriate' results, current policy holds that those programs 'should be reformed' â€" not that the FOIA requestor should be told to wait." Holcomb concluded that "Defendants have had more than a year to ponder their Opposition to Pick's Motion. They have had ample opportunity to raise and to argue the merits of any exemptions. Yet Defendants have not capitalized on those opportunities; they have not made a single argument justifying any exemption, despite actively withholding documents on the same grounds that the OIP rejected. The government cannot simply drag its feet indefinitely."
