| 2017-10-13 | 10 | ORDER. Before the Court in this FOIA case are a complaint and an answer. The requirements of Local Civil Rule 16.3 and Rule 26(f) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure appear to be inapplicable.

| 2017-11-14 | | MINUTE ORDER. Defendant must submit a report setting forth the schedule for completion of its production of documents to plaintiff by December 11, 2017. The Court encourages the parties to work together to expedite and narrow the scope of the search. The Court observes that the first June 22, 2017 FOIA request sought records of communications from specific senior FBI officials to the FBI workforce, and therefore, records responsive to that request are most likely to be found at FBI Headquarters. The second request called for communications from the leaders of a number of centrally located branches as well as Field Offices, so the bulk of those records are also most likely to be found at FBI Headquarters, and the parties should be able to prioritize or reduce the number of Field Offices involved. If the parties agree that they would benefit from the assistance of a neutral mediator, they may contact chambers and the Court will refer the matter to the Court's ADR program or a Magistrate Judge. SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson on 11/14/2017. (lcabj2) (Entered: 11/14/2017) |
