| 2023-09-01 | 75 | OPINION AND ORDER re: 66 CROSS MOTION for Summary Judgment . filed by Osen LLC, 62 SECOND MOTION for Summary Judgment . filed by United States Central Command. As the Second Circuit has remarked., "[c]ourts are not well-suited to evaluate the constantly evolving military conditions and national security challenges faced by U.S. forces and personnel. Judges do not abdicate their judicial role by acknowledging their limitations and deferring to an agency's logical and plausible justification in the context of national security; they fulfill it.".Am. Civ. Liberties Union v, U.S. Dep't of Just., 901 F.3d 125, 136 (2d Cir. 2018). This case requires the Court to fulfill its judicial role in exactly that manner. While Plaintiffs, clients have a legitimate interest in obtaining the Vehicle Information that Plaintiff seeks, Defendant likewise has a legitimate and vital interest in protecting American interests from national security threats, Courts lack the qualifications and expertise to evaluate those threats and to ascertain what information, if released, would unacceptably enhance them; thus, the law entrusts the officials responsible for protecting national security, not this Court, to make such evaluations and to decide on that basis whether to release or withhold information. There can be no guarantee, of course, that such decisions are correct, but so long as Defendant's reasoning is logical and plausible this Court cannot supplant that reasoning with its own. And because Defendant's reasoning is logical and plausible, its motion for summary judgment is granted, and Plaintiffs motion for summary judgment is denied. Defendant need not produce the Vehicle Information in response to Plaintiff's requests (although, as the parties agree, see, e.g., Unclassified Doyle Declaration paragraph 13 n.2, images or information shall not be redacted where the very same images or information has already been released to Plaintiff in response to a prior request). Within seven days of the public filing of this Opinion and Order, the parties shall submit a joint letter informing the Court of whether this case may be closed, or whether the Court should retain jurisdiction because disputes over the redaction of specific documents remain to be resolved. See Dkt. 61 at 2. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to close the motions pending at Docket Numbers 62 and 66. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge John P. Cronan on 8/29/2023) (jca) (Entered: 09/01/2023) |
