| 2017-09-21 | | MINUTE ORDER. Pending before the Court in this FOIA matter is Plaintiff's 4 Motion for Summary Judgment, in which it represents that the government has provided a date by which it "may be able to respond" to Plaintiff's FOIA request. By this motion, Plaintiff requests that this Court adopt the represented date in a judgment and scheduling order regarding the production of responsive documents. This Court declines to do so, because it considers any discussion of scheduling premature in a case in which the answer has yet to be filed, and where the government has not made any representations directly to the Court about its intent and ability to produce documents. Therefore, Plaintiff's 4 Motion for Summary Judgment is DENIED without prejudice. Signed by Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson on 09/21/2017. (lckbj1) (Entered: 09/21/2017) |
