Opinion/Order [37]
FOIA Project Annotation: Judge James Boasberg has ruled that the Export-Import Bank has justified most of its Exemption 5 (privileges) and Exemption 6 (invasion of privacy) claims in response to two FOIA requests from Cause of Action Institute concerning communications involving four senior officials regarding a series of individuals and business entities, but because its Vaughn index is often sloppy, he gave the agency multiple opportunities to better explain its withholding claims. The agency ultimately disclosed 7,633 pages but withheld records under Exemption 5 and Exemption 6. Boasberg conducted an in camera review. He found that EXIM had shown that portions of portfolio risk-management reports were both prdecisional and deliberative. He noted that "the factual material contained in the responsive reports reflects their drafters' discretionary judgment regarding the particular information that would be relevant to [the agency's] decisionmaking process." But he pointed out that the agency had failed to provide an adequate explanation for withholding 24 pages of cybersecurity-related memoranda, primarily because they were not even listed in the agency's Vaughn index. He observed that "it need scarcely be said that the Court cannot affirm Defendant's withholding of records it never even acknowledges. Indeed, it is painful enough for the Court to laboriously pore over all of these in camera records even without errors." Nevertheless, Boasberg explained the documents appeared to likely contain exempt material and he give EXIM a chance to provide further explanation for withholding them. He found the agency had similarly failed to provide justification for senior staff reports, noting that "defendant simply approaches the document from a generic, 30,000-foot view while ever so briefly narrowing in on a few unrepresentative portions, some of which do clear the Exemption 5 bar. That will not do, particularly given the wide variety of content contained in the lengthy reports. . . It is not this Court's place, moreover, to hypothesize forms of upper-level decisionmaking that the reports are intended to serve, especially when EXIM does not itself identify any." Boasberg faulted EXIM for treating documents created by GAO as part of an audit as privileged. He noted that "notwithstanding the fact that the documents were created by Congress, then, Defendant seems to contend that they were nonetheless 'part and parcel of the agency's deliberative process' because the audit to which they contributed was in turn a component of a broader agency review of its anti-fraud controls. The Court has its doubts as to the viability of this tack. In light of its disposition on other issues, however, it will provide the Bank another opportunity to more precisely explain how the GAO audit served its own decisionmaking process, as well as how the documents qualify as both predecisional and deliberative in any event."
