Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: Judge Reggie Walton has ruled that the FBI conducted adequate searches and properly withheld records about terrorists Zacarias Moussaui and Abderraouf Jdey under Exemption 1 (national security) and Exemption 7 (law enforcement records) from Kenneth Dillon. Dillon requested records on the detention of Moussaoui and Jdey, but ultimately agreed to accept any records documenting the items in Moussaoui's possession when he was detained and any records from the detention that referenced cropdusting or biological or chemical terrorism. He made a second FOIA request for the FBI's file on Jdey. In response to the first request, the agency disclosed seven pages in full and 57 pages in part pertaining to Moussaoui's detention. The agency withheld Jdey's file under Exemption 7(A) (interference with ongoing investigation or proceeding). In response to the second request, the agency once again withheld Jdey's file under Exemption 7(A), but released 12 pages of public source material. After OIP upheld the agency's action, Dillon filed suit. Walton found the agency's detailed affidavits explaining its search, including contacting the special agent who worked on the Moussaoui investigation, were more than sufficient to justify its search. Dillon argued the FBI had improperly restricted his request on Moussaoui to records concerning his arrest. But Walton noted that Dillon had limited his request to Moussaoui's arrest records and that "the FBI imposed a limitation on the scope of its search based upon a reasonable interpretation of the plaintiff's request." In response to Dillon's claim that the agency had failed to provide records about Moussaoui's indictment, Walton pointed out that "but documents pertaining to any Moussaoui indictment fall outside a reasonable interpretation of the scope of the plaintiff's original request for documents pertaining to Moussaoui's arrest on August 16, 2001." After approving the agency's withholdings under Exemption 1, Walton turned to Exemption 7, which the agency had used to withhold the majority of records, Walton rejected Dillon's claim that a categorical claim of Exemption 7(A) was inapplicable because Jdey already knew about his own detention and thus the records could not help him evade detection. But, noting that the FBI's claim was based on the potential interference with other ongoing investigations, Walton indicated that "Jdey's familiarity with the information noted in his own file is of no consequence, as Exemption (b)(7)(A) only requires an agency to demonstrate that disclosure 'could reasonably be expected to interfere with. . .proceedings that are. . .pending or reasonably anticipated' and the FBI's representations adequately explain the impact that disclosure may have on enforcement proceedings concerning known or suspected terrorists other than Jdey." Dillon challenged the FBI's claim under Exemption 7(E) (investigative methods and techniques) to protect use of a publicly known database by state and local law enforcement. Walton noted that "the fact that law enforcement officers outside of the FBI have access to a particular database does not preclude the FBI from withholding information regarding the methods of its utilization of that database pursuant to this Exemption." Dillon also argued the FBI had failed to show why disclosure of certain information would risk harm of circumvention of the law. Walton, however, pointed out that "the FBI has set forth sufficient factual detail demonstrating that the disclosure of the withheld information 'could reasonably be expected to risk circumvention of the law.'"
