| 2023-01-26 | | MINUTE ORDER granting the 29 Motion for Leave to File Joint Status Report. In light of the parties' 29 Joint Status Report, the parties shall file a further joint status report by April 10, 2023. The Court also notes that, according to the parties' latest joint status report, Defendant Bureau of Prisons has identified 78,353 pages of potentially responsive records, yet the Bureau states that it will take only 9 to 12 months for the Bureau to complete production, processing at a rate of 200 pages per month. The next joint status report should address this apparent discrepancy between the number of pages of potentially responsive records and the Bureau's estimated timeline for completing production.

| 2023-06-12 | | MINUTE ORDER: While the Court remains concerned about the large number of pages comprising the potentially responsive documents, the time it would take the Bureau of Prisons to review those pages at the current rate, and the low "hit rate" of responsive material, the Court will refrain from further intervention at this stage given the potential resolution of issues as a result of the CREW v. Department of Justice litigation. The parties are nonetheless encouraged to consider solutions, such as sampling, de-duplication, and the elimination of email attachments, that often serve to streamline FOIA productions without sacrificing disclosure of pertinent records. The parties are directed to file a further joint status report on or before August 10, 2023. Signed by Judge Christopher R. Cooper on 6/12/2023. (lccrc1) (Entered: 06/12/2023) |
