PlaintiffKlamath-Siskiyou Wildlands Center a non-profit Oregon Corporation
Case DescriptionThe Klamath-Siskiyou Wildlands Center submitted a FOIA request to the Bureau of Land Management for records concerning communications regarding the Rogue Gold vegetation management project. KSWC also requested expedited processing and a fee waiver. The agency acknowledged receipt of the request. BLM denied KSWC's request for expedited processing but granted its request for a fee waiver. The agency told KSWC that it had located 463 potentially responsive records. The agency said it would disclose 221 pages in full but withheld 52 pages in full and 204 pages in part under Exemption 5 (privileges). KSWC filed an administrative appeal of the denial. BLM responded with a second and final disclosure of records that also included exemption claims under Exemption 5. KSWC filed a second administrative appeal. However, after hearing nothing further from the agency, KSWC filed suit.
