PlaintiffADVANCED TESTING TECHNOLOGIES INC a New York corporation
Case DescriptionAdvanced Testing Technologies submitted a FOIA request to Warner Robins Air Force Base for all visitor entries for Robert Buckley, as well as records pertaining to his meetings with Air Force personnel. The Air Force responded to the company's request by withholding information about the meetings under Exemption 5. Advanced Testing Technologies appealed the denial of its request. It also submitted a new FOIA request renewing the first FOIA request and, alternatively, asking for a narrower subset of records if the agency continued to disagree with the company's prior requests. The Air Force responded to the third request by indicating there was no responsive record. Advanced Testing Technologies appealed that denial as well, but after hearing nothing further, filed suit.
