Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: A federal court in California has ruled that a pattern and practice suit brought against U.S. Customs and Border Protection by five immigration attorneys alleging that the agency's routine failure to respond to FOIA requests within the statutory time limits violate FOIA may continue. Judge James Donato noted that "the government says that the case should be dismissed because an agency's failure to meet the response deadline is not an actionable violation of FOIA. That argument is wholly at odds with the statute and cases construing it." The agency relied primarily on CREW v. FEC, 711 F.3d 180 (D.C. Cir.2013), for the proposition that an agency's failure to meet FOIA's deadlines has no legal consequences aside from prohibiting an agency from claiming the requester must file an administrative appeal. But Donato observed that "this holding is not remotely germane to the government's argument here that plaintiffs cannot plead a FOIA violation based on delay. . .The lack of any argument about exhaustion severs any possible connection to CREW. If anything, the tea leaves the government strains to read in CREW suggest an untimely response is a breach of FOIA's requirements." Donato also rejected the agency's argument that Payne Enterprises v. USA, 837 F.2d 494 (D.C. Cir. 1988), in which the D.C. Circuit found that Payne Enterprises had an equitable claim against the Air Force for its routine refusal to disclose non-exempt documents until Payne had gone through a lengthy appeals process, only applied to claims of future harm. Donato pointed out that "even if allegations of future harm were required, plaintiffs have stated enough facts to infer it here. Plaintiffs include several immigration attorneys, some of whom have practiced for decades, who 'regularly file' FOIA requests on behalf of their clients. It is more than plausible to infer that they will continue to make regular FOIA requests for the CBP documents that are critical for their work, and continue to experience improper delays."
