FOIA Project Annotation: A federal court in California has ordered the Justice Department to review records it claimed were non-responsive to EFF's request for records concerning the agency's attempts to expand the capability to wiretap types of communications currently not subject to the Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act. EFF complained that both the FBI and the DEA withheld a number of documents as non-responsive. Judge Richard Seeborg agreed with EFF that the agency needed to provide better justification. He pointed out that "in evaluating the propriety of the withholding of materials as non-responsive, the competing policy interests include: (1) the Government should not be discouraged from conducting broad searches to identify potentially responsive documents in the first instance, by then being automatically required to produce all such documents; (2) the Government should not be permitted to withhold materials not subject to any exemption merely because it would prefer not to disclose the information and can construct a technical argument that it is outside the scope of the request, and (3) the rules should not be set up in a way that would promote a practice of over-production, whereby requesting parties would be buried with voluminous materials of little or no relevance." The court added that "the practice of removing individual pages, or redacting parts of pages, likely serves no purposes of efficiency other than to permit the Government to defer determining whether a specific exemption might apply. At least in theory, a requester could simply submit a new request for production of any materials withheld as non-responsive, at which point the Government would be required to make that determination in any event." Seeborg ordered the agency to review the non-responsive records and indicated that "the presumption should be that information located on the same page, or in close proximity to undisputedly responsive material is likely to qualify as information that in 'any sense sheds light on, amplifies, or enlarges upon,' the plainly responsive material, and that it should therefore be produced, absent an applicable exemption. That said, there is no presumption that all materials initially identified as 'potentially responsive' necessarily must be produced." EFF complained that the FBI's Vaughn index was inadequate, but agreed that the DEA's Vaughn index provided a sufficient level of detail for meaningful review. EFF urged Seeborg to order the FBI to provide a Vaughn index more like the one submitted by the DEA. Seeborg, however, observed that "the law does not require that Vaughn indices conform to any specific format or organizational requirements and the fact that the DEA may have chosen an approach that EFF prefers does not impose any obligation on the FBI to utilize an identical template. The FBI remains free to structure its Vaughn index and supporting declaration in some other manner. Nevertheless, the existing index is insufficient to provide an adequate foundation for review of the soundness of the exemption claims. Accordingly, the FBI is directed to provide a revised index as promptly as practical, making a good faith effort to address the issues raised by EFF."
