Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly has ruled that EOUSA conducted an adequate search and properly withheld records from Peter Liounis under Exemption 3 (other statutes) and Exemption 5 (privileges). Liounis requested records of the grand jury that indicted him on criminal charges that resulted in a prison sentence of more than 20 years. The agency withheld the grand jury materials, citing Rule 6(e) on grand jury secrecy as an Exemption 3 statute. In an earlier order, Kollar-Kotelly had told the agency that its categorical claim that all records were exempt without further explanation was insufficient. Liounis complained that the search was inadequate because it had not uncovered the grand jury voting records. Finding that EOUSA's explanation of its search was sufficient, she noted that "even if this information had been found in Defendant's search, any records concerning the grand jury voting and attendance records would likely have been exempt from disclosure." Turning to the exemptions, Kollar-Kotelly pointed out that "the exhibits presented to the grand jury are exempt from FOIA under Exemption 3 because they would reveal 'the strategy or direction of the investigation.'" She noted that "here, Plaintiff requested only documents relating to his grand jury proceeding. Accordingly, it would be obvious that any material which was released had been presented to the grand jury. Knowing the contents of exhibits presented to the grand jury would reveal secret aspects of the direction and scope of the investigation." Kollar-Kotelly found that the agency had not shown that one category of records containing draft indictments qualified as grand jury material. However, she noted that the draft indictments were protected under Exemption 5 because they constituted attorney work-product.
Issues: Exemption 3 - Statutory prohibition of disclosure

FOIA Project Annotation: On remand from the D.C. Circuit, Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly has ruled that the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys conducted an adequate search for records concerning grand jury materials from the Eastern District of New York pertaining to the conviction of Peter Liounis. EOUSA initially withheld records in their entirety under Exemption 3 (other statutes) and Exemption 5 (privileges). After Liounis filed suit, Kollar-Kotelly questioned the adequacy of the agency's search and its exemption claims. She ordered the agency to supplement its affidavits. The second time around, she approved of both the search and the exemption claims. Liounis then appealed to the D.C. Circuit. The D.C. Circuit upheld the exemptions but questioned the search and sent the case back to Kollar-Kotelly. The supplemental search was conducted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Lax, who had been involved in Liounis' prosecution. Finding that the search was adequate, Kollar-Kotelly noted that "based on Mr. Lax's declaration, the Court finds that Defendant conducted a reasonable search in response to Plaintiff's request. Mr. Law personally searched the entire case file. He also personally searched the electronic case file and subsequently conducted a search of that case file with targeted search terms. Mr. Lax attests that 'there is no other location in the USAO-EDNY where other records which might be responsive to this request are likely to be located; and I am not aware of any other method or means by which a further search could be conducted, which would likely locate additional responsive records.'"
