Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: Judge Reggie Walton has ruled that the ACLU failed to show that the declaration of Kara Christenson, an employee of the Bureau of Prisons, was insufficient to qualify to support the agency's summary judgment motion. The ACLU submitted a FOIA request to BOP for records concerning data pertaining to the impact of COVID-19 at the Federal Correctional Complex at Terre Haute, Indiana, where federal prisoners are detained and executed, and cost and staffing data related to federal executions. After suit was filed, BOP submitted a declaration from Christenson, who had been a Government Information Specialist since 1992, in support of its motion for summary judgment. The ACLU challenged the declaration, arguing that the agency had not shown that Christenson had sufficient personal knowledge to qualify to submit such an affidavit. The ACLU contended that the agency had not shown that Christenson had a personal knowledge of the contents of responsive records, that she was not competent to testify on matters related to lethal injection drugs, that her affidavit constituted inadmissible hearsay, and that, as a result, her affidavit had been submitted in bad faith. Addressing each, Walton concluded that the agency had shown that she was qualified to submit the affidavit. The ACLU objected to statements made by Christenson contending that the companies that supplied lethal drugs had insisted as part of negotiations that information about the drugs be kept confidential. Walton agreed with the agency that Christenson's statements about her knowledge of why information about the lethal drugs used in executions needed to be kept confidential provided explanations sufficient to indicate that she was talking about issues with which she had some connection as an employee of BOP. He indicated that "the remaining statements regarding the applicability of statutory exemptions to information withheld from the defendants' FOIA production to the plaintiffs fall within the scope of Christenson's personal knowledge as a 'Government Information Specialist' for the defendant." He added that "she also relies on information gained though personal participation in meetings with suppliers and third-party contractors, which further exceeds the standard necessary to demonstrate personal knowledge. And, to the extent that Christenson remarks on 'the motivation for the [third parties] to request privacy and for the government to offer it,' she is basing these representations 'upon conclusions and determinations reached and made in accordance with the knowledge gleaned in the course of performing her official duties." Walton observed that the issue of whether Christenson was competent to testify on issues overlapped significantly with her degree of personal knowledge. He pointed out that "personal knowledge in the FOIA context may be 'based upon the declarant's personal knowledge, upon information provided to the declarant in the declarant's official capacity, and upon conclusions and determinations reached and made in accordance thereof.' Accordingly, personal knowledge need not be based on the direct involvement of the declarant in the matters to which she is testifying." As to whether her statements constituted hearsay, Walton indicated that "Christenson's knowledge regarding the statements challenged by the plaintiffs came either through first-hand participation in relevant conversations or intra-agency communications regarding such conversations. Any information which Christenson obtained first-hand through either her familiarity with procedures or participation in discussions with third parties clearly does not constitute hearsay in the FOIA context. Moreover, Christenson represents in her supplemental declaration that, to the extent she acquired information from others, she did so through communications with other agency personnel, which is permitted in FOIA cases." Walton found no evidence of agency bad faith, noting that "here, neither of the plaintiffs' assertions â€" namely, inconsistencies between the two declarations or evidence of wrongdoing on the part of another agency official in another case â€" warrants a finding of bad faith on the part of the defendant, because the presumption of administrative good faith will not be defeated by the presence of 'inconsistency in a declarant's declaration."
