Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: After reviewing the redactions in camera, Judge James Boasberg has ruled that the Justice Department's Office of Professional Responsibility properly withheld personally-identifying information in records concerning the investigation of former AUSA Lesa Gail Bridges Jackson for continuing to practice law after her license was suspended under Exemption 6 (invasion of privacy) and Exemption 7(C) (invasion of privacy concerning law enforcement records). Although he also found that OPR's referral of some records to EOUSA was proper, he agreed with Lonnie Parker that OPR was required to make a determination as to the applicability of EOUSA's exemption claims. Pursuant to news reports, Parker found out that Bridges Jackson had been investigated and dismissed as a result of not having a valid state license. He requested the investigation from EOUSA and OPR. EOUSA provided some records, but OPR initially issued a Glomar response neither confirming nor denying the existence of records. However, after OPR realized EOUSA had confirmed the existence of the investigation, it processed the records as well, locating 251 pages of potentially responsive records. OPR released 18 pages in full and withheld 20 pages in part and 149 pages in full under Exemption 5 (privileges) as well as the two privacy exemptions. OPR also referred 64 pages to EOUSA, the Justice Management Division, and the Office of Information Policy. Parker did not challenge the Exemption 5 claims, but did challenge the application of the privacy exemptions as well as the referral process. After his in camera review, Boasberg agreed with OPR that Bridges Jackson and other identified third parties had a privacy interest in the redacted information. He observed that "courts must distinguish between the public interest that can generally exist in a subject related to a FOIA request and the public interest that might or might not be served by disclosure of the specific records that are responsive to a given request. The key consideration is whether disclosure of the records at issue would serve an identified public interest and therefore warrant the overriding of personal privacy." Here, Boasberg was satisfied that the privacy interests outweighed any public interest in disclosure. Parker contended that OPR was responsible for ensuring that referred records were processed by the agency to which they were referred and that the referring agency had a legal obligation to review the exemption claims made by the agency to which the records were referred. Parker cited McGhee v. CIA, 697 F.2d 1095 (D.C. Cir. 1983), to support his position, but Boasberg noted that a more recent decision, Sussman v. U.S. Marshals Service, 494 F.3d 1106 (D.C. Cir. 2007), had clarified McGhee. He observed that "contrary to Parker's position, a component need not necessarily follow up on or independently review the disclosure decision of the component, agency, or office to which it referred the records for decision. Whether the referring agency retains a duty to act depends on whether the referral resulted in an improper withholding." Since EOUSA had withheld records, Boasberg indicated OPR had an obligation to review those claims. He pointed out that "OPR never provided a description of the specific legal bases for EOUSA's withholdings beyond the general citations to exemptions given in the form letter that accompanied EOUSA's production. The Vaughn Index supplied by OPR discusses the pages it withheld; it does not address EOUSA's withholdings. An agency, however, has the burden to establish that a claimed exemption applies."
Issues: Exemption 7(C) - Invasion of privacy concerning law enforcement records, Search - Referral

FOIA Project Annotation: Judge James Boasberg has resolved the remaining issues in a suit brought by Lonnie Parker for records concerning disciplinary action taken against former U.S. Assistant Attorney Lesa Gail Bridges Jackson, who had worked as an AUSA in the Eastern District of Arkansas with an expired bar license, by finding that an attachment to a letter was a responsive record and that the agency was required to disclose two of the attachment's three sections since they were not protected by Exemption 5 (privileges) or Exemption 6 (invasion of privacy). Boasberg examined whether or not the attachment could be considered responsive since it did not deal with Jackson's bar-lapse discipline, but was related to other disciplinary action the U.S. Attorney considered taking against Jackson. Boasberg noted that "considered alone, it is unclear whether the document is encompassed by Parker's FOIA request. Yet the Court need not decide that issue, as it considers the draft letter's possible responsiveness as an attachment to an already-produced responsive record â€" namely, the [letter written by U.S. Attorney Paula Casey]." He pointed out that "it is not disputed that the Casey Letter is, in fact, responsive." He observed that "a single record cannot be split into responsive and non-responsive bits. If the Casey Letter and its attachment are one record â€" i.e. 'a unit' â€" then FOIA requires disclosure of both together." Noting that "the Casey Letter, in fact, itself touches on the subject matter of the attachment and refers the recipient to examine its contents," Boasberg indicated that "although there is no per se rule that letters and their attachments must be treated as one, the Court finds that these two pieces belong together." As a result, Boasberg turned to whether the attachment was exempt. He found the draft letter could be broken up into three discrete sections â€" an introductory paragraph proposing a five-day suspension, the six following paragraphs discussing a specific incident and the justification for the suspension, and the final section detailing DOJ suspension procedures. He explained that the middle section was clearly deliberative, but that "the rest of the attachment, however, is not privileged." He indicated that Exemption 6 only protected the middle section as well. He observed that "the remainder of the first paragraph and the final section of the attachment, again, reveal nothing more than neutral summaries of applicable agency regulations that contain only public information, not private facts about Bridges Jackson."
Issues: Exemption 5 - Privileges - Deliberative process privilege - Deliberative, Exemption 6 - Personnel, medical, similar file
