Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly has ruled that the Bureau of Prisons conducted an adequate search for records explaining why Isaac Allen's email privileges had been suspended. Allen, who was convicted of identity theft, was not permitted to use the inmate email server at the Beaumont federal correctional facility where he was incarcerated. He asked the warden to provide an explanation, which resulted in Allen making a FOIA request for the records. Although the agency told Allen it would need to take more time, it actually responded to Allen's request within the statutory time limits by hand-delivering a copy of the pertinent portions of his file. The agency withheld some records. Kollar-Kotelly noted that Allen's dissatisfaction seemed to be more because the records were not labeled as a written explanation. But she pointed out that "the BOP's obligation under the FOIA is to conduct a reasonable search for responsive records. . .Plaintiff's mere 'speculation as to the existence of additional records. . .does not render the search inadequate.'" She found that the agency had not justified its redactions under Exemption 7(C) (invasion of privacy concerning law enforcement records), Exemption 7(E) (investigative methods and techniques), and Exemption 7(F) (harm to safety of any person). She pointed out that "the BOP's supporting declarations presume that FOIA Exemption 7 applies, yet neither declaration actually states that the two reports were compiled for law enforcement purposes. Nor do the declarations explain that disclosure of certain redacted information would cause an enumerated harm."
Issues: Adequacy - Search, Exemption 7 - Threshold

FOIA Project Annotation: Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly has ruled that the Bureau of Prisons properly responded to a request submitted by Isaac Allen, a federal prisoner who had been convicted of identity theft and tax fraud, for records pertaining to why he lost his privileges to use the Trusted Fund Limited Inmate Computer System. BOP located two special investigative services reports, totaling 11 pages. The agency disclosed two pages in full, seven pages in part, and withheld two pages in full. The last page of the first report indicated the report had four attachments, none of which were in the file. The agency decided to search another SIS file at FCC Coleman, where the incident had taken place. The agency conducted a search at FCC Coleman and located all four attachments, consisting of 131 additional pages. The agency disclosed a three-page threat assessment checklist in full and the remainder of the records with redactions made under Exemption 7(C) (invasion of privacy concerning law enforcement records), Exemption 7(E) (investigative methods and techniques), and Exemption 7(F) (harm to a person). Allen challenged the adequacy of the search, arguing that the agency had failed to originally locate the four attachments. However, Kollar-Kotelly noted that "based on the declarant's explanation that records pertaining to an inmate routinely are maintained in his central file, it is reasonable for BOP staff to have searched the central file for records responsive to plaintiff's FOIA request. The fact that the attachments to the SIS Report were not found in plaintiff's central file does not undermine the reasonableness of the decision to search the central file initially." She pointed out that "defendant accomplished what plaintiff himself demanded �" that BOP locate and release the attachments to the SIS Report. If anything, the belated release of the SIS Report's attachments suggests a good faith effort to locate and release records responsive to plaintiff's FOIA request." Allen argued that the SIS Report was not a law enforcement record but instead just monitored his computer activity. Kollar-Kotelly disagreed, noting that "plaintiff is not simply a private individual whose activities are being monitored by a law enforcement agency. Rather, plaintiff is a federal prisoner whose offense of conviction included identity theft. Even if denying plaintiff [computer] access required extra monitoring of his activities, it is apparent that BOP engages in a law enforcement function when it takes steps to detect or prevent criminal conduct by an inmate, particularly an inmate whose incarceration did not deter him from filing fraudulent tax returns and instructing his fellow inmates to do so." The agency withheld some identifying information under Exemption 7(F), including Central Inmate Monitoring information. Kollar-Kotelly noted that "BOP properly withholds under Exemption 7(F) identifying information about individuals who involved themselves in plaintiff's schemes and who cooperated with or were subjects of the SIS investigation." But she indicated that "with respect to CIM information, however, BOP does not demonstrate adequately that its release poses a risk to any individual's life or physical safety."
Issues: Exemption 7(F) - Harm to safety of any person, Search - Reasonableness of search

FOIA Project Annotation: Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly has ruled that the Bureau of Prisons properly withheld records under Exemption 7(C) (invasion of privacy concerning law enforcement records) pertaining to the agency's decision to suspend prisoner Isaac Kelvin Allen's privileges to use the Trust Fund Limited Inmate Communications System, which allows prisoners to communicate with others outside the facility via email. The agency suspended Allen's privileges for 21 years after discovering that he was using the system to help other prisoners file false IRS returns. The agency withheld User IDs, explaining that each staff is assigned "a unique USER ID that allows [him or her] to log into BOP's network, including the staff email system. . ." Kollar-Kotelly agreed with the agency that the User IDs were protected. She noted that "all USER IDs 'begin with the same letters but have unique numbers assigned.' Each USER ID is unique to an individual and contains 'personally identifiable information. . .tied to a specific staff member.'" She added that "the Court identifies no public interest in disclosure of the USER IDs, and certainly no public interest sufficient to outweigh the privacy interest of BOP staff members."
Issues: Exemption 7(C) - Invasion of privacy concerning law enforcement records
