| 2023-11-20 | | MINUTE ORDER. The court no longer finds it acceptable that consulting agencies have not completed their review of potentially responsive records after more than one year. See Joint Status Report, ECF No. 52. Defendant bears ultimate responsibility for producing the records requested, and it cannot simply say that it "continues to await the result of the remaining consultations with other government agencies and continues to follow up with them," Joint Status Report, ECF No. 65. See Keys v. Dep't of Homeland Sec., 570 F. Supp. 2d 59, 70 (D.D.C. 2008) ("Because the agency who received the FOIA request... is the agency ultimately responsible for responding to the request, the agency is not absolved of its obligations under FOIA when it refers the documents elsewhere."); Hall v. CIA, 668 F. Supp. 2d 172, 182 (D.D.C. 2009) (holding that an agency that received and referred a FOIA request remained responsible for responding to the request and was required to "take affirmative steps to ensure that its referrals [were] being processed"). The parties shall file an additional Joint Status Report by December 20, 2023. Defendant shall provide concrete dates by which the consults will be completed. If Defendant fail to provide deadlines, or if those deadlines are not met, the court will consider sanctions, if appropriate. Signed by Judge Amit P. Mehta on 11/20/23.
