Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: The court ruled that while the FBI has justified its withholding under Exemption 1 (national security) of records pertaining to various Occupy movements in California, it still has not sufficiently supported many of its Exemption 7 (law enforcement records) claims and must provide the disputed records for in camera review as well as providing a more detailed public affidavit. Judge Susan Illston explained that after reviewing the agency's in camera declaration she was satisfied that a two-page document had been properly classified. But she disagreed with the agency's contention that "ex parte, in camera review of the declarations is appropriate. The declaration does not appear to reveal the very information the government claims is exempt from disclosure" and the agency must either file a public affidavit or provide another ex parte in camera declaration that "reveals the very information this is exempt from disclosure." The FBI claimed the records qualified as law enforcement records because they dealt with possible terrorist activities. Illston found the agency still had not adequately provided a rational nexus tying the records to a terrorist investigation and pointed out that "the Court rejects the argument presented by the FBI at the hearing that it has established a sufficient nexus simply because the documents are contained in a counter terrorism database regardless of whether the documents are actually related to any unlawful activity. . . [E]ven if the documents are contained in a counter terrorism database, the FBI must still provide the Court with a sufficient description of the alleged criminal activity to establish the applicability of Exemption 7." While she agreed that the names of third parties in the records were protected under Exemption 7(C) (invasion of privacy concerning law enforcement records), she faulted the agency for failing to show that non-exempt information could not be reasonably segregated and released. She observed that "a blanket statement that the documents are not segregable or that all reasonably segregable information has been released is insufficient to satisfy the government's burden." She accepted the FBI's Exemption 7(D) (confidential sources) claims as they pertained to explicit assurances of confidentiality, but noted that its showing of implicit assurances fell short. She pointed out that "the FBI does not explain what it means by the term 'organized violent groups.' The declaration states that the individuals came in contact with criminal elements, but the FBI does not explain what types of criminals they are, whether they are violent, or whether they would retaliate against an individual for disclosing information to law enforcement." The FBI claimed Exemption 7(E) (investigative methods and techniques) protected database collection, but Illston agreed with the plaintiffs that they had provided evidence showing the techniques were publicly known. She observed that "the FBI contends that it is not seeking to protect the publicly available criteria for classifying suspicious activity that is referenced in plaintiffs' motion; it is only withholding information that is not publicly known about the system of data collection. However, this specificity is not contained in the FBI's declaration. The declaration simply provides a blanket statement that the characteristics and data collected are not known and the way the FBI apples this information is not known. These statements are contradicted by plaintiffs' evidence."
Issues: Exemption 7(C) - Invasion of privacy concerning law enforcement records, Exemption 7(D) - Assurance of confidentiality - Implicit, Exemption 7(E) - Unknown to public, Litigation - In camera review, Exemption 7 - Threshold, Exemption 1

FOIA Project Annotation: A federal court in California has ruled that almost all of the FBI's exemption claims for 27 remaining documents concerning Occupy movements in California are proper. While finding in her prior ruling that many of the agency's claims might well be applicable, Judge Susan Illston had ordered an in camera review of the records because the agency's justifications were not sufficient. However, after reviewing the documents in camera, Illston agreed, approving the use of various subparts of Exemption 7 (law enforcement records). The FBI had provided a chart showing why its Exemption 7(C) (invasion of privacy concerning law enforcement records) applied to names of third parties and local law enforcement officers. Illston, however, noted that "while this information is helpful, it still fails, standing alone, to show why it would be reasonable to conclude that the third parties might be subject to retaliation, harassment, or other negative consequences if their names are revealed, and why the release of their names would not shed any light on the FBI's performance of its statutory duties." But after reviewing the documents she found all the agency's claims appropriate. She also agreed with the agency's claims under Exemption 7(A) (interference with law enforcement investigation or proceedings) and Exemption 7(D) (confidential sources). She rejected the agency's claims under Exemption 7(E) (investigative methods and techniques), observing that "here, the government's failure to meet its burden through public declarations appears to be symptomatic of the fact that the claimed exemption simply does not apply to the withheld material."
Issues: Litigation - In camera review, Exemption 7
