JudgeJudge James E. Boasberg
PlaintiffDAVID J. ELKINS
Case DescriptionDavid Elkins, a resident of Florida, made a FOIA request to the Federal Aviation Administration for records concerning an airplane he believed was conducting surveillance of him at his residence. To the extent it responded to his request, the FAA withheld some records on the basis of Exemption 7(E) (investigative methods and techniques). Elkins filed an administrative appeal, but after hearing nothing further from the agency, he filed suit.
Complaint issues: disclosure of all non-exempt records, order FAA to discontinue its improper use of Exemption 7(E)

Opinion/Order [24]
FOIA Project Annotation: Judge James Boasberg ruled that the FAA failed to show it conducted an adequate search for records pertaining to a broad-ranging request from David Elkins and that it had adequately explained its invocation of Exemption 7(E) (investigative methods and techniques) for certain redactions. Although Boasberg characterized Elkins's request as potential "tinfoil-hat material," he discerned that Elkins was asking the FAA for information about an aircraft that Elkins apparently thought had been conducting surveillance of his home in St. Petersburg. The agency searched the Tampa Airport Traffic Control Tower for records and withheld certain information under 7(E). Turning to the search, Boasberg indicated that "the Court is left with distinct uncertainty as to whether the agency appreciated the whole of Plaintiff's FOIA request. [The agency's] declaration refers only to 'various records' sought by Plaintiff, without further elaboration. And the FAA's Reply indicates that the agency understood Plaintiff's request as limited in scope to records likely to be housed at an airport traffic-control tower." Boasberg explained that "Plaintiff's request, however, also itemized records likely to be housed elsewhere," such as records pertaining to FAA agreements with the Department of Justice. "Common sense dictates that some of these records, should they exist, are unlikely to be located at an aircraft-control tower." Boasberg found the agency's exemption claims also fell "substantially short of meeting its obligations." He noted that "its briefing is replete with vague and conflicting references to redacted material" and observed that "as plaintiff points out, the FAA failed to provide a Vaughn Index or anything comparable that explains with reasonable specificity which records were released, which records were withheld, and what material was redacted." He concluded that "in light of the FAA's failure to provide the requisite level of clarity and detail, summary judgment on its withholdings under Exemption 7(E) is unwarranted at this juncture, as is any determination on the propriety of the agency's segregability determination."

Opinion/Order [42]
FOIA Project Annotation: Judge James Boasberg has ruled that while the FAA's explanation of its search and Exemption 7(E) (investigative methods and techniques) claim are considerably better than when he first ruled the agency still has not sufficiently justified its actions in response to David Elkins' FOIA request for records concerning a plane that took off from Tampa Airport and allegedly conducted surveillance of Elkins. In response to Elkins' multi-part request, the agency initially disclosed responsive voice recordings from the Tampa Airport Traffic Control Tower with the Aircraft Registration Number redacted. In his prior ruling, Boasberg found the agency had not shown why it only searched the Tampa Traffic Control Tower while parts of Elkins' request appeared to be for records that should be somewhere else and that the agency's exemption claims were too vague. This time around, however, Boasberg applauded the agency for conducting a much more comprehensive search and providing an explanation for its search. The agency found no responsive records for several parts of Elkins' request, bur Boasberg pointed out that the agency's affidavit did not "describe the place such a record would be stored if it did exist, what [was done] to search that location, or any detail regarding how [the agency] came to conclude that no responsive records exist." Elkins argued the agency could use an algorithm to determine the registration number. Boasberg indicated that "even if the FAA did have the resources to determine the plane's N number, 'FOIA imposes no duty on the agency to create records.' And since the agency's search did not uncover records related to the N number, its obligation ended there." With the exception of one document that would identify the operator of the plane, Boasberg rejected the agency's Exemption 7(E) claims. He pointed out that "in this case, however, the FAA has provided no basis upon which to conclude that these specific recordsâ€"i.e., the voice recordings and flight-tracking recordsâ€"although originally created for non-law-enforcement purposes, were ever subsequently compiled to enforce the law."
