| Case Description | John Doe, a police officer in New Hampshire, and several other police officers were shot and injured as a result of actions taken by agents of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. They filed suit in state court. They submitted a FOIA request to BATF for records concerning the shooting incident. The agency acknowledged receipt of the request, but after hearing nothing further, Doe filed an administrative appeal. At that time, the agency indicated that the records were subject to Exemption 7(A) (interference with ongoing investigation or proceeding), but the agency would conduct a further search. After hearing nothing more, Doe filed suit.
Complaint issues: Failure to respond within statutory time limit, Exemption 7(A) - Interference with ongoing investigation, Search - Reasonableness of search
