Case DescriptionThe Engineered Metals Company, a subcontractor of Anthony & Gordon Construction Company, which had been awarded a contract with the Department of Navy for work pertaining to an aircraft corrosion control facility in Corpus Christi, submitted a FOIA request to the Navy when A&G Construction failed to pay Engineered Metals for its work. The request asked for records concerning payments made by the Navy to A&G Construction. The Navy provided records to Engineered Metals, but withheld information under Exemption 4 (confidential business information). Engineered Metals appealed the agency's decision and its appeal was granted. The agency disclosed another document, but after the agency failed to produce any more records, Engineered Metals, filed suit.
