Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: Judge Royce Lamberth has ruled that the CIA improperly withheld public documents from Patrick Lenz, the current executor of the estate of Harry Stonehill, after he replaced the previous co-executor, Pauline Stonehill, after she died. In response to Lenz's request for records concerning the investigation by the Philippine National Bureau of Investigation about Stonehill's Philippine properties, the CIA issued a Glomar response, neither confirming nor denying the existence of records, claiming the records were protected under Exemption 1 (national security). Lenz argued that the existence of the records had been officially acknowledged. Lamberth agreed with Lenz, noting that during this Court's in camera review, it became apparent that documents withheld in full, which plaintiff identified as on PACER as exhibits to this litigation, completely undermining the CIA's basis for their continued withholding. He also agreed with Lenz that the agency's Vaughn index was inadequate. He pointed out that "here, the CIA has withheld 34 of the 36 documents in full and has provided a conclusory Vaughn index. There is no 'reasonable basis to evaluate' the CIA's withholding, even when coupled with in camera review, and this Court cannot decipher a logical or plausible basis for withholding these documents." Lamberth also rejected the Department of Justice's claim that IRS documents were protected by the attorney-client privilege and the attorney work-product privilege after finding the documents were same as ones for which the D.C. Circuit had previously found the privileges did not apply.
Issues: Exemption 1 - Harm to national security
