| 2023-08-01 | | MINUTE ORDER denying Plaintiff's Motion for Summary Judgment, ECF No. 12. Plaintiff demands immediate release of a video and related records pertaining to his interrogation by Defendant's officers on November 1, 2022, at the port of entry in Blaine, Washington. Plaintiff's demand is not justified. Plaintiff "fails to take into account two long-standing principles that apply to FOIA cases in this Circuit": (1) "courts... have considered the effect of other FOIA requests when analyzing the burden on an agency of meeting deadlines for review and production of FOIA material in a given case," and (2) "[a]gency affidavits are accorded a presumption of good faith, which cannot be rebutted by purely speculative claims." Middle E. F. v. U.S. Dep't of Homeland Sec., 297 F. Supp. 3d 183, 18586 (D.D.C. 2018) (internal quotation marks and citation omitted). Here, Plaintiff has presented no evidence to rebut the representations contained in the Howard Declaration concerning the agency's volume of FOIA requests and its resources to process such requests. ECF No. 18-1. He also has not demonstrated that the agency has been nonresponsive or dilatory with respect to his request. Plaintiff's motion for summary judgment is therefore denied. Signed by Judge Amit P. Mehta on 08/01/2023. (lcapm1). (Entered: 08/01/2023) |
