| 2023-12-06 | 20 | PAPERLESS ORDER granting in part 19 the Plaintiff's Motion for a Corrected Deadline for Defendants' Response/Answer. Under the Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA"), a government agency has thirty days after service of the complaint to file an answer. See 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(4)(C) ("Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the defendant shall serve an answer or otherwise plead to any complaint made under this subsection within thirty days after service upon the defendant of the pleading in which such complaint is made, unless the court otherwise directs for good cause shown."). Our Multiple Defendants Order, see 6 , provides that "[t]he time for responsive pleadings -- for all Defendants -- begins to run once all Defendants have either (1) been served or (2) waived service." Id . at 6. Here, the Department of Defense was served on November 22, 2023. See 11 Notice of Service. Thus the deadline for both Defendants to respond is December 22, 2023 . Signed by Judge Roy K. Altman on 12/6/2023. (lcr) (Entered: 12/06/2023) |

| 2023-12-19 | 23 | PAPERLESS ORDER granting 22 the Defendants' Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time. The Defendants shall respond to the Plaintiffs Complaint by January 22, 2024. Signed by Judge Roy K. Altman on 12/19/2023. (lcr) (Entered: 12/19/2023) |
| 2024-01-17 | 24 | Second MOTION for Extension of Time to File Response/Reply/Answer as to 1 Complaint, by Defense Logistics Agency, Department of Defense. (Raurell, Carlos) (Entered: 01/17/2024) |
| 2024-01-17 | 25 | PAPERLESS ORDER granting in part 8 the Defendants' Unopposed Motion for Extension of Time to Respond to Complaint (the "Motion"). This is a Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA") case, in which the Plaintiff "requests that this Court enter a judgment for Plaintiff... [o]rder[ing] Defendants, by a date certain, to produce all non-exempt records or portions of records responsive to Plaintiff's [FOIA] request and a Vaughn index of any withheld records or portions of records." Id . at 9. The Defendants -- the U.S. Department of Defense and its component, Defense Logistics Agency ("DLA") -- tell us that "DLA has now completed its search for responsive material and is nearing completion of its review of the material it has located. Defendant DLA expects to issue its final response, including production of non-exempt responsive records, to Plaintiff on or before January 31, 2024. The Defendant agency believes that its response to the pending FOIA request will render moot Plaintiff's Complaint in this action. Accordingly, to allow time for the issuance of the agency's final response and Plaintiff's review of the same, Defendant respectfully requests another extension of 30 days, through February 21, 2024, to respond to Plaintiffs Complaint if necessary." Id . at 1-2. Because the Defendant plans to "issue its final response, including production of non-exempt responsive records" by January 31, 2024, we don't think it makes sense to order the Defendants to respond to the Complaint by February 21, 2024. Therefore, by January 31, 2024, the Defendants shall file a notice on the docket telling us whether they've "complete[d] processing [the] Plaintiff's June 22, 2023 FOIA request and produce[d] all non-exempt material." Id . at 1. In the meantime, the Defendants' deadline to respond to the Complaint is STAYED . The Clerk of Court is directed to CLOSE this case for administrative purposes. Signed by Judge Roy K. Altman on 1/17/2024. (lcr) (Entered: 01/17/2024) |
