PlaintiffThe Center for Investigative Reporting
Case DescriptionJonathan Jones, a reporter for the Center for Investigative Reporting, submitted a FOIA request to the FBI for records concerning the murders of two American teachers in 2002 during an attack near Tembagapura in Papua, Indonesia. Jones also requested a fee waiver. The agency acknowledged receipt of the request and after asking Jones to provide proof of death for the two teachers, eventually denied his request under Exemption 7(A) (interference with ongoing investigation or proceeding). Jones filed an administrative appeal with the Office of Information Policy. OIP upheld the FBI's denial. Jones and CIR then filed suit.

Opinion/Order [59]
FOIA Project Annotation: A federal court in California has ruled that the FBI properly withheld records related to its investigation of Anthonius Wamang, an Indonesian citizen and Papuan separatist fighter, who had been convicted of the 2002 murder of two American citizens in Papua, Indonesia under Exemption 7(A) (interference with ongoing investigation or proceeding). Wamang was convicted of the murders in Indonesia and is serving a prison sentence there. The Center for Investigative Reporting submitted a FOIA request for the records. The FBI told CIR that it had identified 24,000 pages of records, as well as 47 hours of video and audio footage. The agency separated out and released 398 pages and 51 minutes of the recordings that it concluded would not jeopardize U.S. plans to extradite Wamang to the United States after he finished his prison sentence in Indonesia but withheld the remainder under Exemption 7(A). Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler ruled in favor of the government. She noted that "there is a pending or prospective law-enforcement proceeding. The United States charged Anthonius Wamang with murder and related charges, secured an arrest warrant, and intends to prosecute him after he is released from Indonesian custody. Exemption 7(A) applies to long-term or dormant investigations that could lead to a prospective law-enforcement proceeding. To the extent that the Center contends that the life sentence in Indonesia means that prosecution here is a legal impossibility. It is not. It may be difficult to secure Mr. Wamang's presence here because there is no extradition treaty, but that does not mean that the United States cannot secure his custody." CIR argued that testimony of FBI agents at Wamang's trial in Indonesia were now part of the public record and should be released. Beeler disagreed, pointing out that "public availability of information â€" like the agents' testimony at a trial â€" does not trigger the official-acknowledgment doctrine. Instead, the specific information that the Center seeks 'must already be in the public domain by official disclosure.'" She observed that "here, the plaintiff has not pointed to 'specific information in the public domain that duplicates that being withheld.' The plaintiff has not established that the agents' testimony is an official acknowledgement by the FBI: an agent's testimony generally is not within the agent's official capacity or an official acknowledgement of anything. Also, documents leaked by others are not an intentional public disclosure. Similarly, the Indonesian police records â€" submitted by the Center after briefing â€" are not an official disclosure by the FBI."
