| 2022-12-12 | | MINUTE ORDER re 10 Response re Set Scheduling Order Deadlines: From the Parties' filing, the Court understands that the Plaintiffs believe the requested documents warrant expedited processing (an assertion that the Defendants do not dispute) and that the Defendants ask for additional time to file a proposed scheduling order. The Court finds that review and production should begin as soon as possible because of the exigent circumstances, but also hopes the Parties can reach an agreement that will result in the most efficient processing of this information in the long-term. To that end, the Court ORDERS the Defendants to process at least 500 pages in the next 45 days and produce any responsive documents, and also ORDERS the Parties to submit another Joint Status Report by January 12, 2023, which shall include a proposed scheduling order for the processing of documents for the duration of this case. The proposed scheduling order may seek processing to occur at a rate greater than 500 pages per month. Signed by Judge Jia M. Cobb on December 12, 2022. (lcjmc1) (Entered: 12/12/2022) |
| 2023-01-12 | 17 | Joint STATUS REPORT by BLOOMBERG L.P., JASON LEOPOLD. (Attachments: # 1 Text of Proposed Order Plaintiffs' Proposed Order, # 2 Text of Proposed Order Defendants' Proposed Order)(Loevy, Joshua) (Entered: 01/12/2023) |
| 2023-01-18 | | MINUTE ORDER: The Court has read the Parties' Joint Status Report that was filed on January 12, 2023, and understands that the Parties agree for the most part about the schedule for processing the requested documents. But a few issues require resolution. First, the Court ORDERS the Parties to submit a Joint Status Report by January 27, 2023, to provide the updates that were noted in the January 12 Status Report. Second, with regards to the FBI's processing rate, the Court ORDERS the FBI to process records at a rate of 750 pages per month because the FOIA statute requires agencies to process expedited requests as soon as practicable. 5 § U.S.C. 552(a)(6)(E)(iii). The FBI can renew its objection to this processing rate in any future status report by showing specifically what makes it impracticable. Finally, the Court will wait until the Parties provide a Status Report on January 27, 2023, to resolve the processing schedule for documents requested from ODNI. The Court would like to have as much information before it to make that determination, and Plaintiff has not shown that waiting two weeks would cause an undue hardship. Signed by Judge Jia M. Cobb on January 18, 2023. (lcjmc1) (Entered: 01/18/2023) |

| 2023-02-03 | | MINUTE ORDER re 19 Joint Status Report: The Court ORDERS Defendants to provide final responses from the National Security Division (NSD) by April 27, 2023, and from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) by March 28, 2023, except for any consults or referrals still outstanding at that time.
