| 2018-09-14 | | MINUTE ORDER granting, for good cause shown, Plaintiff's 17 Motion to Enforce the Court's March 20, 2018 Order. On March 20, 2018, the Court ordered that Defendant produce records in response to Plaintiff's Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests and provide Plaintiff with a determination as to which responsive records have been produced, which information has been withheld, and the basis for any such decision. Additionally, FOIA requires agencies to respond to a FOIA request by providing a determination and the reasons for the agency's response. 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(6)(A)(i)(I). The D.C. Circuit has explained that in order to make a determination, an agency must, inter alia, determine and communicate the scope of the documents it intends to produce and withhold, and the reasons for withholding any documents. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington v. Federal Election Commission, 711 F.3d 180, 188 (D.C. Cir. 2013). Defendant's release of large volumes of documents online, categorized under broad subheadings, does not comply with the Court's March 20, 2018 Order, or FOIA itself. Therefore, the Court orders that Defendant (1) identify for Plaintiff the records that are responsive to each of Plaintiff's specific FOIA requests; (2) identify for Plaintiff any records or information that have been withheld from Plaintiff; and (3) provide Plaintiff its reasons for withholding any records or information. The parties shall meet, confer, and jointly propose a schedule for Defendant's compliance with this order for records already released by September 26, 2018. Signed by Judge Timothy J. Kelly on 9/14/2018. (lctjk1) (Entered: 09/14/2018) |
