Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: Judge Rudolph Contreras has ruled that the National Security Council's Records Access and Information Security Management Directorate is not an agency subject to FOIA because its parent agency â€" the National Security Council â€" is not subject to the statute. Legal Eagle, a business that operates a YouTube channel focused on legal issues, requested records related to the prepublication review of former National Security Advisor John Bolton's book on his experiences working for former President Donald Trump. Legal Eagle filed suit against several agencies that are part of the intelligence community and also filed suit against RAISMD. The government filed a motion to remove RAISMD as a defendant, arguing that, as a component of the NSC, it was not subject to FOIA. Legal Eagle argued that Armstrong v. Executive of the President, 90 F.3d 553 (D.C. Cir. 1996) and the more recent decision, Main Street Legal Services v. NSC, 811 F.3d 542 (2d Cir. 2016) "only determined that the NSC as a whole is not subject to FOIA but left open the possibility that subcomponents of the NSC might be subject to FOIA if they are sufficiently independent." Contreras sided with the government. He noted that "the Court perceives no invitation in this Circuit's binding precedent to reevaluate whether subcomponents of the NSC, an entity that itself has been found to not 'exercise any significant non-advisory function,' are agencies subject to FOIA. Although Armstrong did not specifically discuss prepublication review or RAISMD, the court did consider the NSC's role in protecting classified information."

2020-09-21		MINUTE ORDER denying 11 Plaintiff's Motion to Expedite Case: On August 22, 2020--nearly two months after filing its complaint--Plaintiff moved to expedite this case. But before Plaintiff filed its complaint, scores of other litigants filed complaints or motions that have become ready for the Court to rule on. Most of the Court's cases have significant consequences for litigants, and many of them carry the potential to affect the upcoming election too. See, e.g., Protect Democracy Project, Inc. v. U.S. Dep't of Justice, 20-cv-172 (FOIA suit seeking records related to killing of top Iranian military official); Matthews v. Saul, 18-1110 (asserting erroneous denial of Social Security disability benefits); Garcia Ramirez v. U.S. Immigr. & Customs Enf't, No. 18-508 (eighteen-year-old unaccompanied alien children claiming improper detention by ICE); Wildearth Guardians v. Jewell, No. 16-cv-1724 (alleging that federal government fails to consider climate impact when granting oil and gas leases in western United States). These and other cases also have valid claims for the Court's immediate attention, even if not all of their litigants have moved to expedite. The Court will not use the "broad discretion" it enjoys in "deciding case management and scheduling matters" to move Plaintiff's case to the front of the line. See G.Y.J.P. by & through M.R.P.S. v. Wolf, No. 20-01511, 2020 WL 4192490, at *2 (D.D.C. July 21, 2020) (citation omitted). It thus DENIES 11 Plaintiff's motion to expedite the case. SO ORDERED.
