| 2018-04-05 | | MINUTE ORDER: This FOIA case was filed on 7/22/15 and has evaded resolution for two reasons. First, the scope of Plaintiff's FOIA request has changed over time (due in part to some apparent uncertainty regarding the scope of the request). Second, Defendant has sought and the court has granted numerous extensions of time, even though - in some instances- Defendant requested an extension after its filing deadline had passed. Most recently, on 2/1/18, the court granted Defendant's latest motion for an extension of time in which to file a status report. Defendant's status report was due on 2/22/18, yet it neither has filed its report nor has it requested an extension of the deadlie. The court is losing its patience with both parties. Accordingly, by 4/15/18, Defendant shall file a status report, which shall include information on processing of the Plaintiffs FOIA request as most recently amended, and shall indicate whether Defendant has received the $250 payment Plaintiff claims to have submitted. Defendant's failure to file a timely status report will be viewed with disfavor and may result in sanctions. Signed by Judge Tanya S. Chutkan on 4/5/18. (DJS) (Entered: 04/05/2018) |
