Case DescriptionEJF Plus submitted a FOIA request to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Chicago District, for all records concerning a site inspection of a property the company owned. The agency responded by withholding two documents under Exemption 5 (privileges) and 131 documents and 10 photographs under Exemption 7(A) (ongoing investigation or proceeding). EJF Plus submitted a second request for the same records as well as records pertaining to a subsequent site inspection. The agency again denied some records under Exemption 7(A). EJF Plus appealed the agency's decision, which was upheld by the Chicago District. EJF Plus then appealed that decision to the Army General Counsel. After hearing nothing further concerning its appeal to the General Counsel, EJF Plus filed suit.
