| 2024-04-04 | 30 | RESPONSE re 27 Consent MOTION for Summary Judgment filed by LOUISE TRAUMA CENTER LLC. (Cleveland, David) (Entered: 04/04/2024) |
| 2024-04-12 | | MINUTE ORDER: On March 28, 2024, Defendant moved for summary judgment on the ground that it had discharged its obligation under the Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA"). Dkt. 27. In its motion, Defendant explains that the sole issue before the Court is "the propriety of the partial redactions on twelve pages of a single fifty-six-page PowerPoint presentation under FOIA Exemption 5." Id. at 5. FOIA Exemption 5 applies to "inter-agency or intra-agency memorandums or letters that would not be available by law to a party other than an agency in litigation with the agency[.]" 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(5). Defendant submits that the redactions at issue are proper under Exemption 5 because the information is both attorney work product and attorney-client privileged. Dkt. 27 at 9-15. Defendant further submits that all segregable information has been released. Id. at 16. In response, Plaintiff filed a "non-opposition," stating that it "does not oppose the Department of Justice's Motion for Summary Judgment," that it will not fill a cross-motion, and that "this case is settled, except for an award of fees and costs." Dkt. 30 at 1. Based on Plaintiff's representation that it is not disputing the adequacy of the production received and that the only remaining dispute, if any, concerns fees, the Court concludes that no live controversy remains concerning Plaintiff's FOIA claim and hereby DISMISSES the complaint as MOOT. See Crooker v. U.S. State Dep't , 628 F.2d 9, 10 (D.C. Cir. 1980) ("Once the records are produced the substance of the controversy disappears and becomes moot since the disclosure which the suit seeks has already been made."). If the parties are unable to reach a resolution with respect to the issue of attorneys fees, it is hereby ORDERED that Plaintiff's motion shall be filed on or before April 18, 2024.
