Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: In an opinion that says more about the need for courts to exercise healthy skepticism over the government's national security claims than all other courts combined in the past 20 years, Judge Alvin Hellerstein has ruled that the Defense Department must disclose redacted versions of photos of prisoner abuse at Abu Ghraib prison. The government had strenuously opposed the release of the photos, even bringing Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Richard Myers to the courtroom, arguing that disclosure of the photos would further inflame anti-American sentiment in the Middle East and could further jeopardize the safety of Americans in the region. Rejecting the government's claim that the photos were protected by Exemption 7(F) (harm to physical safety), Hellerstein observed that "suppression of information is the surest way to cause its significance to grow and persist. Clarity and openness are the best antidotes, either to dispel criticism if not merited or, if merited, to correct such errors as may be found. The fight to extend freedom has never been easy, and we are once again challenged, in Iraq and Afghanistan, by terrorists who engage in violence to intimidate our will and to force us to retreat. Our struggle to prevail must be without sacrificing the transparency and accountability of government and military officials. These are the values FOIA was intended to advance, and they are at the very heart of the values for which we fight in Afghanistan and Iraq. There is a risk that the enemy will seize upon the publicity of the photographs and seek to use such publicity as a pretext for enlistments and violent acts. But the education and debate that such publicity will foster will strengthen our purpose and, by enabling such deficiencies as may be perceived to be debated and corrected, show our strength as a vibrant and functioning democracy to be emulated." Since Sept. 11, the government has used Exemption 7(F) as an important justification for withholding information it believes could potentially aid terrorists. So far, the exemption in the terrorism context has only figured prominently in two cases �" Coastal Delivery v. Customs Service and Living Rivers v. Bureau of Reclamation. Neither court provided much analysis. Presented with it this time, however, Hellerstein spent a considerable time assessing its applicability to the case before him. Hellerstein first observed that "our nation does not surrender to blackmail, and fear of blackmail is not a legally sufficient argument to prevent us from performing a statutory command." He added that "the terrorists in Iraq and Afghanistan do not need pretexts for their barbarism; they have proven to be aggressive and pernicious in their choice of targets and tactics. . . With great respect to the concerns expressed by General Myers, my task is not to defer to our worst fears, but to interpret and apply the law, in this case, the Freedom of Information Act, which advances values important to our society, transparency and accountability in government." Turning to the exemption, he noted that "originally, the exemption protected only 'law enforcement personnel'" until it was amended in 1986 "to protect all those put at risk through their participation in law enforcement proceedings, whether as sources or as witnesses." Pointing out that the exemption had only been used in two cases �" Living Rivers and Larouche v. Webster �" to protect a wider group of individuals not involved in a specific law enforcement investigation, he also indicated that the court in Raulerson v. Ashcroft, 271 F. Supp. 2d 17 (D.D.C. 2002), had concluded that 7(F) provided an absolute ban against disclosure of any qualifying information. He noted that "accordingly, the government argues that once it has established that the photographs [taken by reservist Joseph Darby] are 'records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes,' any non-trivial concern that it advances about the life or physical safety of any individual entitles it to withhold the photographs under Exemption 7(F)." Hellerstein explained that both Living Rivers and Larouche v. Webster involved a connection to law enforcement, but he indicated that "there is no such nexus with respect to the Darby photographs. The Darby photographs are being withheld, not to protect anyone involved in the courts martial investigations and prosecutions, but for another purpose. The persons who took the photographs, or handed them over to commanding officers, do not ask for protection. Law enforcement officials charged with investigating the circumstances that surrounded the taking of the Darby photographs do not ask for protection, and there is no allegation that release of the photographs will endanger their lives. And since the identifying characteristics of the detainees are to be redacted, they too are not endangered. The sole justification for suppressing the photographs is DOD's concern about speech �" generally, how some might exploit the Darby photographs, in propaganda and in terrorist activities, by arguing, through false extension, that the pictures represent the attitudes of all American soldiers, or indeed of all Americans, toward the Iraqi people." He then said that "I reject, however, the government's argument that reasoning must stop once a threat to life or safety is discerned. Balancing and evaluation are essential aspects of the judicial function, no less in considering the exemptions of FOIA than in other areas of the law. It is clear to me that the core values that Exemption 7(F) was designed to protect are not implicated by the release of the Darby photographs, but that the core values of FOIA are very much implicated." He added that "the interest at stake arises from pictures of flagrantly improper conduct by American soldiers �" forcing prisoners under their charge to pose in a manner that compromised their humanity and dignity. As I stated at the time of the original argument. . .the pictures are the best evidence of what happened, better than words, which might fail to describe, or summaries, which might err in their attempt to generalize and abbreviate. Publication of the photographs is central to the purposes of FOIA because they initiate debate. . ." Hellerstein earlier found that the photos were not protected by Exemption 6 (invasion of privacy) or Exemption 7(C) (invasion of privacy concerning law enforcement records) because they could be redacted so that they were no longer personally identifying and, more importantly, because their disclosure was clearly a matter of public interest. Addressing claims made by the CIA concerning interrogation methods for detainees and other issues, Hellerstein initially remarked that "the practice of secrecy, to compartmentalize knowledge to those having a clear need to know, makes it difficult to hold executives accountable and compromises the basics of a free and open democratic society. It also creates a dangerous tendency to withhold information from those outside the insular group, for fear of compromising the sources and integrity of intelligence." He went on to cite former Sen. Patrick Moynihan, a critic of secrecy in government. But he observed that "this is not to say that there is no room for secrets, or that the courts have the competence or the expertise of national security experts." Reviewing extensive affidavits submitted by the CIA, Hellerstein turned to the use of a Glomar response to neither confirm nor deny the existence of records concerning interrogation methods for detainees, particularly discussions of what methods might not constitute torture. Hellerstein observed that the agency's Glomar response to the ACLU's request seemed to be based more on the plaintiffs' speculation about what the records might discuss than on the record itself. He noted that "the agency seeks to use plaintiffs' attempt to provide assistance to the government in identifying the memorandum as a basis for withholding information about the item requested. But plaintiffs' speculation as to the possible contents of the memorandum is not controlling; rather, it is the unembellished request set forth in the August 16, 2004 List that controls. The List was created for the benefit of defendant agencies, and they must be bound by it. I rule, therefore, that acknowledging whether or not the memorandum requested by plaintiffs exists reveals nothing about the agency's practices or concerns or its 'intelligence sources or methods.' Available exemptions can be proved if necessary to avoid compromise, if any, to the interest of national defense or foreign policy." Concerning records pertaining to a CIA request to the Defense Department to detain an Iraqi suspect without identifying him, Hellerstein pointed out that the agency's affidavit had not explained why no segregable information could be disclosed. After ordering a sampling of documents for in camera review and receiving further affidavits, including one from CIA Director Porter Goss, Hellerstein said he was satisfied that there was no segregable information in the documents.
Issues: Exemption 7(F) - Harm to safety of any person

FOIA Project Annotation: Judge Alvin Hellerstein has rejected the government's motion for reconsideration of his August order granting a preliminary injunction that required in part that the government either disclose three Office of Legal Counsel memos from May 2005 or submit a Vaughn declaration describing the memos and claiming exemptions. The government claimed that non-production would not cause the plaintiffs irreparable harm because another judge was likely to rule soon in a similar case involving the memos. Hellerstein rejected that claim, noting instead that "plaintiffs would suffer irreparable injury if they were forced to wait even longer for the Government to satisfy their requests. Moreover, as Plaintiffs have presented issues for resolution, I am bound to decide them, not to defer the task and further delay the outcome." The government also argued that production of the memos would be contrary to Hellerstein's previous decision that the government could use a cut-off date of January 31, 2005. Hellerstein responded by noting that "the Court, in its discretion, may require the Government to produce responsive documents that postdate the cut-off date if they are known or made known to the Government and easily produced or described in a Vaughn declaration. The responsive OLC memoranda at issue are few in number and have already been identified to the Government. Further, my order of August 28, 2008 does not prejudice the Government because it is entitled to submit a Vaughn declaration to excuse non-production on the basis of exemption or privilege."
Issues: Litigation - Vaughn index

FOIA Project Annotation: Judge Alvin Hellerstein ruled that a 2012 certification by former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta that photos showing apparent abuse of detainees in Iraq and Afghanistan by U.S. military personnel should remain protected under the terms of the 2009 Protected National Security Documents Act, an Exemption 3 statute passed by Congress to prohibit the disclosure of such documents as a result of the Second Circuit's decision in ACLU v. Dept of Defense, 543 F.3d 59 (2d Cir. 2008), rejecting the agency's claim that the photos were protected under Exemption 7(F) (harm to physical safety) because their disclosure could endanger U.S. personnel in the Middle East, is insufficient under the terms of the statute. Hellerstein ruled in 2006 that neither Exemption 7(F) nor Exemption 6 (invasion of privacy) applied to the records. By the time the case was heard by the Second Circuit, the agency had abandoned its Exemption 6 claim and relied solely on Exemption 7(F). The Second Circuit rejected the agency's 7(F) claim as too broad and the government sought review by the Supreme Court. But after the Court accepted review, Congress stepped in to specifically exempt the photos, but required the Secretary of Defense to provide a certification every three years as to whether such photos should remain protected. President Barack Obama accepted the congressional solution and the Supreme Court dismissed the case as moot. Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki had asked President Obama not to release the photos and then Secretary of Defense Robert Gates certified in November 2009 based on recommendations from the military that disclosure of the photos would endanger U.S. citizens deployed outside the United States. Convinced by the circumstances at the time, Hellerstein accepted Gates' certification and ruled that the photos could continue to be withheld. Gates' successor, Leon Panetta, certified in 2012 that the photos required continued protection. The ACLU challenged the sufficiency of Panetta's certification. The government argued that under the PNSDA all that was required to continue protecting the photos was the Secretary's certification and that the court should not conduct any further review. Hellerstein, however, found Panetta's certification inadequate, noting that "the 2012 Certification is practically identical to the certification given by Secretary Gates three years earlier. The certifications are expressed in conclusory fashion, and relate to all the photographs at issue�"likely hundreds or thousands. The certifications track the language of the statute, without providing any specific explanation for why the Secretary certified the photographs, except to state that based on the recommendations of certain senior military officials, the Secretary determined that the photos met the criteria of the statute." The government argued Hellerstein was bound by the law of the case doctrine, which provides that when a court has ruled on an issue previously it should continue to adhere to that decision in subsequent stages of the case. But Hellerstein noted that "given the passage of time, I have no basis for concluding either that the disclosure of photographs depicting abuse or mistreatment of prisoners would affect United States military operations at this time, or that it would not." The government contended that "de novo review requires the Court merely to ascertain whether the Secretary of Defense issued a certification," while the ACLU argued that Hellerstein should conduct de novo review of whether the Secretary of Defense had properly concluded that disclosure would continue to endanger U.S. personnel. Finding that neither the statutory language nor its legislative history resolved how extensive judicial review should be, Hellerstein turned to judicial canons of interpretation, noting that similar statutes were presumed to have similar interpretations. Because FOIA provided for extensive de novo judicial review, Hellerstein concluded Congress intended the same interpretation for the PNSDA. Noting that "in light of the specific policies underlying FOIA and the general presumption of judicial review," Hellerstein pointed out that "there is no evidence that Congress intended to depart from those principles when it enacted the PNSDA." The government argued that the Secretary of Defense's certification could cover the photos collectively while the ACLU claimed the certification had to consider the harm from disclosing each photo individually. Hellerstein agreed with the ACLU, noting that "the statute provides that the Secretary of Defense shall issue a certification 'for any photograph' if the 'disclosure of that photograph' would meet certain criteria. This plain language refers to the photographs individually�"'that photograph'�"and therefore requires that the Secretary of Defense consider each photograph individually, not collectively." Noting that "reading the PNSDA as requiring the individual review of photographs, rather than collective review, will further [the] goal of broad disclosure," Hellerstein explained that "during the course of this litigation, I have reviewed some of these photographs and I know that many of these photographs are relatively innocuous while others need more serious consideration. Even if some of the photographs could prompt a backlash that would harm Americans, it may be the case that the innocuous documents could be disclosed without endangering the citizens, armed forces or employees of the United States. Considering the photographs individually, rather than collectively, may allow for more photographs to be released, furthering FOIA's 'policy of full disclosure.'" Hellerstein indicated that "nothing in the statute prevents the Secretary of Defense from issuing one certification to cover more than one photograph. What is important is that the government, to invoke the PNSDA, must prove that the Secretary of Defense considered each photograph individually." Applying that standard, Hellerstein pointed out that Panetta's certification "suggests that the Secretary of Defense has reviewed the photographs as a 'collection,' not individually. Thus, standing alone, the 2012 Recertification is insufficient to meet the government's burden of showing that the photographs were individually considered by the Secretary of Defense. The condition provided by the PNSDA for withholding disclosure is that each individual photograph, if disclosed, alone or with others" would endanger U.S. citizens or personnel deployed outside the United States. Finding the 2012 certification insufficient, Hellerstein nonetheless concluded that "it would, however, be prudent to allow the government the opportunity to create a record in this Court justifying its invocation of the PNSDA."
Issues: Litigation - In camera review, Exemption 3 - Limited agency discretion, Litigation - De Novo Review

FOIA Project Annotation: In a good illustration of how some FOIA cases never seem to end, Judge Alvin Hellerstein has ruled that a 2012 certification by former Defense Secretary Leon Panetta that photos showing apparent abuse of detainees in Iraq and Afghanistan by U.S. military personnel should remain protected under the terms of the 2009 Protected National Security Documents Act, an Exemption 3 statute passed by Congress to prohibit the disclosure of such documents as a result of the Second Circuit's decision in ACLU v.

Issues: Exemption 3 - Statutory prohibition of disclosure

FOIA Project Annotation: A federal court in New York has once again ruled that the Department of Defense has not sufficiently complied with its obligations under the 2009 Protected National Security Documents Act to justify withholding photos of detainees under Exemption 3 (other statutes). The case started in 2004 when the ACLU filed suit against the government for access to photos of detainee abuse at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. After Judge Alvin Hellerstein ruled against the agency's claim that the records were protected by the privacy exemptions, the agency asserted that they were protected by Exemption 7(F) (harm to a person) because disclosure could endanger U.S. personnel abroad. Hellerstein rejected that claim as too broad and the Second Circuit agreed. The government petitioned for Supreme Court review, but after that review was granted, the case became moot after Congress passed the PNSDA in 2009, allowing the agency to withhold the photos based on a certification from the Secretary of Defense that disclosure would pose a danger. However, the agency was required to renew the certification every three years, based on a personal review by the Secretary. Hellerstein accepted the original certification of then-Defense Secretary Robert Gates, but had since questioned a subsequent certification provided by then-Defense Secretary Leon Panetta. This time, Hellerstein found that a certification provided by then-Defense Secretary Ash Carter, which included a multi-level review, still did not satisfy the requirements of the PNSDA that the Secretary certify that he had reviewed each photo before determining not to disclose them. As a result of DOD's review, the agency decided to disclose 198 photos, but withheld an unspecified number. The government argued that the PNSDA was a stand-alone statute that operated independently of FOIA and was not subject to an Exemption 3 analysis. Finding no basis for the claim, Hellerstein noted that "there is nothing in the legislative record to suggest that when passing the PNDSA, Congress intended to depart from both 'the specific policies underlying FOIA and the general presumption of judicial review.'" The government asserted that judicial review of national security judgments was precluded. But Hellerstein pointed out that "but that is not the law. Deference with respect to national security issues may limit the scope of judicial review, but it does not preclude judicial review." DOD described a tiered review that had yielded a sample of photos for Carter to review. Finding this procedure insufficient, Hellerstein noted that "based on this scant information, it is impossible to know how this tiered review process yielded the recommendations that Secretary Carter adopted." He added that "the Government concluded that 198 photos could be released, but we do not know what distinguishes those photographs from all the others, nor do we know how many photographs the Government seeks to withhold. No matter how many levels of administrative review took place, the Government may not rely on a process that the Court is unable to review." Hellerstein indicated that the Secretary could delegate much of the review process to his staff, but that "he must establish the criteria to be utilized in categorizing the photographs and assessing the likely harm upon release." He observed that "the Secretary has failed to sufficiently explain the terms of his delegation." Based on the ruling in EPIC v. Dept of Homeland Security, 777 F.3d 518 (D.C. Cir. 2015), the agency tried once again to claim the photos were exempt under Exemption 7(F). Hellerstein noted, however, that "the danger [in EPIC] was sufficiently specific, and the zone of endangerment was sufficiently concrete, to justify application of Exemption 7(F). By contrast, the Carter certification is vague and unlimited. . .This vast and amorphous group does not satisfy the standard described by the Second Circuit, now would it likely satisfy the standard adopted by the D.C. Circuit in EPIC."

2008-05-29	295	ORDER RELEASING TRANSCRIPTS AND REGULATING PROCEEDINGS, In accordance with Judge Hellerstein's rulings during the January 16-17, 2008, oral argument on plaintiffs pending motions in this case, Judge Hellerstein conducted two in camera reviews of classified Department of Defense (DOD) and Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) documents, on April 15, 2008 and May 12, 2008, respectively. On April 15, 2008, Judge Hellerstein conducted an in camera review of 30 classified DOD documents. The documents were composed of samples chosen by plaintiffs from a list provided by defendants. The purpose of the review was to determine whether the documents should properly be withheld under exemptions to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), as declared by the Government. A court reporter was present and a transcript with unclassified comments was produced. Judge Hellerstein reviewed both the publicly filed Vaughn declaration describing each classified document, and then examined the document itself. The transcript provides Judge Hellerstein's rulings on each of the documents in the sample, including the document marked CITF 99, which was released in full by the Government to the plaintiffs on May 5, 2008. Judge Hellerstein have completed consideration of all DOD-related documents in this case of a sample chosen by plaintiffs, using the same procedures as with the DOD documents, and, in addition, three documents from the Office of Legal Counsel ("OLC") to the CIA, also chosen by plaintiffs, and item 61, which is the presidential authorization for the CIA interrogation and detention program. The protocol for review, as attached to the order granting plaintiffs' motion for reconsideration, was followed. The released transcript provides some of Judge Hellerstein's preliminary rulings. On June 17, 2008 at 2 p.m., Judge Hellerstein will hold another in camera review, and consider supplementary classified declarations to be submitted by the government. Judge Hellerstein expects then to make final rulings concerning the CIA documents. The parties will be advised of his rulings. (Signed by Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein on 5/28/08) (mme) (rw).

I find the facts before me insufficient to justify a holding of civil contempt. I find there has yet to be any such "clear and convincing evidence" of noncompliance on the CIA's part. Accordingly, as stated at the conference, I order the Government to submit a supplemental declaration from Special Prosecutor, John H. Durham, who is leading the criminal investigation into the destruction of the videotapes. The declaration is to be submitted by 9/10/2008. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alvin K.

2008-09-19	311	ORDER GRANTING AND DENYING MOTIONS FOR PARTIAL SUMMARY JUDGMENT: IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, consistent with the Court's rulings at the OralArgument and during the in camera proceedings, 1. Plaintiffs' third partial summary judgment motion is granted to the extent that the Court has previously ordered the release of certain information, as set forth above; 2. The Court's disclosure rulings with respect to DOD documents shall be applied to other responsive DOD documents where the same rationale for release applies; 3. The Court's disclosure rulings with respect to the final version of OIG Other Document No.5 shall be applied within the class of documents consisting of records contained in closed OIG files to other documents where the same rationale for release applies; 4. The Court's disclosure rulings with respect to OLC Document Nos. 12 and70 shall be applied within the class of documents consisting of classified records that OLCreferred to CIA for processing to other documents where the same rationale for release applies;5. The Court's disclosure rulings with respect to Item 29 shall be applied toother documents addressed in the parties' third cross-motions for summary judgment that are from OLC to CIA and that contain the same legal reasoning as Item 29; 6. The Court's disclosure rulings with respect to Item 29 are not applicable to the memoranda at issue in the OLC Motion, although Plaintiffs are not precluded from arguing in the future that Exemption 5 is inapplicable to those memoranda for the same reasons the Court held the exemption to be inapplicable to Item 29, and the Government is not precluded from opposing any such argument;7. Except as set forth in the disclosure orders described in the whereasclauses above, the Government's third motion for partial summary judgment is granted, as the Court concludes, based on its review of the Government's submissions and its in camera review, that the Government has satisfied its burden of establishing that the Government has released all reasonably segregable, nonexempt information. 8. The Court enters final judgment with respect to the rulings described in paragraph 7 above because there is no just reason for delay of any appeal of those rulings. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b). 9. The Court retains jurisdiction over the pending CIA Motion and any further proceedings concerning the OLC Motion but otherwise dismisses this case as against all other remaining defendants, including: 1) the Department of Defense and its components; 2) the Department of Homeland Security; 3) the Department of State; and 4) the Department of Justice and its components other than OLC..

I approve, and hereby order, the parties' joint proposal and schedule with respect to producing these documents. However, the letter describes significant disagreement with respect to producing the documents contemplated by paragraph 4 of my April 20, 2009 order, that is, documents that relate to the destruction of the videotapes. The Government argues that producing these documents would interfere with the "active and ongoing" criminal investigation by John H. Durham into the destruction of the videotapes, but no declaration by Mr. Durham was supplied to show why that may be so. Plaintiffs argue that the Government may not "use Mr. Durham's investigation as a pretext for indefinitely postponing" its obligation to produce documents that I ordered to be produced, and which may be needed to resolve Plaintiffs' pending motion for contempt and sanctions. Plaintiffs further argue that, if postponement is warranted, the Government should immediately disclose at least the number and general nature of documents relating to the destruction of the videotapes. I decline to postpone the production required by paragraph 4 of my April 20, 2009 order, unless the Government makes a satisfactory justification for postponement. Thecircumstances in which the videotapes were destroyed are relevant to Plaintiffs' motion, as wellas to the content of the videotapes themselves. Accordingly, by May 27, 2009, the Governmentshall submit papers and affidavits making the showing required by this order and prior orders.The showing may include also any reasons why the identity of persons involved in thedestruction should not be disclosed, and proposals to substitute for any such non-disclosures.The parties' joint letter of May 5, 2009 is being filed publicly with this order.

2009-07-30	369	MEMORANDUM AND ORDER: Accordingly, I held an ex parte, in camera hearing in chambers on July 29, 2009. It was attended by Mr. Durham, Assistant United States Attorney Edward Kang, CIA Information Review Officer Wendy Hilton, and Federal Bureau of Investigation Inspector David Johnson. Mr. Durham described the scope of his criminal investigation into the destruction of the videotapes, reported that it is ongoing, and described the vast extent of his document reviews. I accept Mr. Durhams representations, and find that the material issues of Plaintiffs contempt motion are subsumed by his criminal investigation. I also accept his concern that hearings that I might conduct on the contempt motion would interfere with his investigation. However, identification and production of non-exempt documents from the more recent date range pursuant to my order of July 20, 2009, even if duplicating production to Mr. Durham under grand jury subpoenas, would not interfere. A Vaughn index with respect to exempt documents, and, if necessary, redaction of compromising Vaughn declarations, would completely protect Mr. Durham's grand jury investigation. Mr. Durham agreed and withdrew that aspect of his objection. At my invitation, Assistant United States Attorney Sean Lane appeared by telephone at the close of the hearing. I ordered the Government promptly to propose a schedule for identifying paragraph 4 documents, producing non-exempt documents, and submitting a Vaughn index for exempt documents, in compliance with my orders of April 20, 2009 and July 20, 2009, as amended by this current order. A redacted version of the transcript of the July 29, 2009 hearing will be made available to the public. An unredacted version of the transcript will be filed under seal. (Signed by Judge Alvin K.

2009-12-29	398	ORDER RESOLVING FOURTH AND FIFTH SUMMARY JUDGMENT MOTIONS: 1. With respect to the Withheld Information in the Second and Fourth OLC Memoranda, the Court does not defer to the Governments determination that this information should be withheld under Exemptions 1 and 3, and finds that the Withheld Information should be released for the reasons set forth. The Withheld Information should be released as follows: on page 5 (redaction on line 10 of first paragraph) and page 29 (redaction on line 8 of first full paragraph) of the Second OLC Memoranda and on page 4 (first full paragraph), page 5 (first sentence of the bottom paragraph) and page 7 (redaction made to lines 4-5 of second paragraph under the heading 2.) of the Fourth OLC Memoranda. In order to address the Governments national security concerns, however, the Court orders that specific words be inserted in brackets to replace the actual text of the documents in certain limited instances, with the inserted words used to preserve the meaning of the text. The Courts complete ruling on the Withheld Information is reflected in the transcripts of the in camera session that occurred on October 29, 2009, including the sealed exhibits to the transcript that consist of the two relevant OLC memoranda that were annotated during the session to reflect the Courts ruling. If the Government does not wish to insert in brackets the text set forth by the Court, the Government in the alternative must release the corresponding actual text in those specific parts of the documents. 2. With respect to documents 54, 56, 59a, and 60, to the extent the CIA has identified releasable information within these four documents, the Court defers to Special Prosecutor Durhams invocation of FOIA Exemption 7(A) to withhold the release of any information contained within the four documents while his investigation is pending. As to Ms. Durhams invocation of Exemption 7(A), and any other such 7(A) invocations, the Court further orders that Mr. Durham must renew his assertion, as appropriate, of Exemption 7(A) every six months and that, in any event, Mr. Durham should promptly advise the Court of any events that subsequently render his assertion of Exemption 7(A) inapplicable to the documents in question. 3. With respect to the Government's proposed redactions to the transcript of the in camera session that occurred on September 30, 2009, the Court defers to the Government's redactions except orders the release of additional information relating to the Withheld Information, that is the subject of the Court's ruling in paragraph 1 above, as follows: page 7, lines 1,4-7, 18-21; page 10, lines 6-12; page 11, lines 7-9, 15-16; page 12, lines 7-10, 19-20; page 18, line 9; page 20, lines 21-25; page 21, lines 1-5, 16-21; page 22, line 1; and, page 26, lines 24-25.4. The Government is granted a stay for 30 days to permit it time to determine whether it will appeal the Court's disclosure rulings set forth in numbered paragraphs 1 and 3 above.

2010-10-22	432	CONSENT MOTION for Extension of Time. Document filed by American Civil Liberties Union, Center for Constitutional Rights, Inc., Physicians for Human Rights, Veterans for Common Sense, Veterans for Peace. (Attachments: # 1 Text of Proposed Order)(Abdo, Alexander) (Entered: 10/22/2010)
2010-10-26	433	ORDER AND JOINT STIPULATION: It is hereby Stipulated and agreed that Defendants have withheld the "paragraph 4" records on the basis of FOIA Exemptions 1 and 3, among others. The legal issues raised by Defendants' invocation of Exemptions 1 and 3 overlap with the legal issues resolved by the Court in its judgment of October 1, 2010 (dkt. no. 427), and the underlying orders incorporated therein. The Court has certified its judgment of October 1, 2010 as final and appealable pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b). Defendants have filed a Notice of Appeal from that judgment, and Plaintiffs intend to appeal from that judgment. The parties agree that the ultimate disposition on appeal of the legal issues addressed by the Court's judgment of October 1, 2010 will conclusively determine those same legal issues as are presented by Defendants' withholding of the "paragraph 4" records. Depending on the resolution of the appeal, Plaintiffs may have additional challenges to Defendants' withholding of the "paragraph 4" records. Litigation of the "paragraph 4" records is stayed pending resolution of the appeal of the Court's judgment of October 1, 2010. With respect to the "remand" documents, which are described in the parties' joint letter of October 6, 2010, the parties hereby stipulate that: Defendants have withheld the "remand" documents on the basis of FOIA Exemptions 1 and 3, among others. The legal issues raised by Defendants' invocation of Exemptions 1 and 3 overlap with the legal issues resolved by the Court in its judgment of October 1, 2010 (dkt. no. 427), and the underlying orders incorporated therein. The Court has certified its judgment of October 1, 2010 as final and appealable pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 54(b). Defendants have filed a Notice of Appeal from that judgment, and Plaintiffs intend to appeal from that judgment. The parties agree that the ultimate disposition on appeal of the legal issues addressed by the Court's judgment of October 1, 2010 will conclusively determine those same legal issues as are presented by Defendants' withholding of the "remand" documents. With respect to all but two of the "remand" documents-the presidential directive September 17, 2001, and the Special Review of the CIA's Office of the Inspector General-Plaintiffs have no additional challenges to assert beyond those at issue in the upcoming appeal. Accordingly, the parties agree that the Court should reinstate the pre-remand disposition of those documents as to all withholdings except those described in paragraphs 4 and 5 above. Litigation of the "remand" documents, including the documents described in footnote 1 below, is stayed pending resolution of the appeal of the Court's judgment of October 1, 2010.

Document filed by American Civil Liberties Union, Center for Constitutional Rights, Inc., Physicians for Human Rights, Veterans for Common Sense, Veterans for Peace.(Lustberg, Lawrence) (Entered: 02/13/2015)
2015-02-18	543	ORDER CLARIFYING INSTRUCTIONS FOR DEFENDANTS' SUBMISSIONS re: 541 Letter filed by Department of Defense: that at the October 21, 2014 status conference, I ordered that "the Government must prove [its burden], item by item... [and] document by document." Doc. No. 526, at 12-13. I also said, "[y]our burden is to be specific, photograph by photograph." Id. The Government's subsequent submissions did not satisfy these criteria. The declaration did not indicate the criteria used to categorize the pictures or to select the samples from each category. It did not indicate how many pictures fell into each category, so there was no way to determine what proportion of the pictures the commanders had reviewed. It also did not indicate whether the Secretary himself had reviewed any of the pictures, let alone all of them. While I did not hold that there could be no delegation, the Secretary is required, at a minimum, to explain the terms of his delegation so it is the Secretary, and not any subordinate, who takes responsibility for his knowing and good faith Certification that release of a particular photograph would result in the harm envisioned. In order to make such a Certification, the Secretary must demonstrate knowledge of the contents of the individual photographs rather than mere knowledge of his commanders' conclusions. He may obtain such knowledge either by reviewing the photographs personally or having others describe their contents to him, but he may not rely on general descriptions of the "set" or "representative samples," as such aggregation is antithetical to individualized review without precise criteria for sampling. Further, the Certification must make the Secretary's factual basis for concluding that disclosure would endanger U.S. citizens, Armed Forces, or government employees clear to the Court. Without such a record, judicial review is impossible, and judicial review is fundamental to FOIA and the APA. See Bowen v. Mich. Academy of Family Physicians, 476 U.S. 667 (1986). A Vaughn index would satisfy this requirement, but there may be other ways for the Government to meet its burden as well. At minimum, the submission must describe the categories of objectionable content contained in the photographs, identify how many photographs fit into each category, and specify the type of harm that would result from disclosing such content. As before, these submissions may be filed under seal or exhibited to the Court in camera. The Government will have one more opportunity to satisfy these criteria. If, by March 17, 2015, proper certifications are not filed, judgment against the Government will be filed. (Signed by Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein on 2/17/2015) (tn) (Entered: 02/18/2015)

2015-03-20	549	ORDER GRANTING JUDGMENT FOR PLAINTIFF: Accordingly, judgment is hereby entered in favor of Plaintiff.

2016-01-06	558	CORRECTED MANDATE of USCA (Certified Copy) as to 553 Notice of Appeal filed by Department of Defense, Department of the Army. USCA Case Number 15-1606. The Department of Defense seeks to remand this appeal on the basis of changed circumstances - namely that the 2012 Certification, on which the present appeal is based, has been superseded by a 2015 Certification pursuant to the Protected National Security Documents Act of 2009 ("PNSDA"). The 2015 Certification does not bear upon every issue raised on appeal; but it has the potential to obviate many of the issues cited by the district court in granting relief. It is therefore prudent to allow the district court to consider the 2015 Certification before we render any decision. Accordingly, the motion to remand is GRANTED and the judgment of the district court is VACATED and REMANDED so that the district court may consider the 2015 Certification..
