| 2022-04-11 | | MINUTE ORDER denying 19 Plaintiff's Motion to Compel Defendant to Seek an Open America Stay: Plaintiff Muckrock, LLC sent six requests under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. § 552, to Defendant Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), and subsequently filed this case concerning its requests. Relevant here, as this case unfolded, the Parties agreed that the CIA would release seventy-five documents to Plaintiff every two months for two of the FOIA requests. ECF 13. Now, seeking to speed up the CIA's production of documents, Muckrock has moved to compel the agency to seek a stay under Open America v. Watergate Special Prosecution Force , 547 F.2d 605 (D.C. Cir. 1976). ECF 19 at 1-2. Muckrock has pointed to no authority to support its position that it would be appropriate for the Court to compel the CIA to seek an Open America stay to resolve the Parties' dispute about the rate of document production. Muckrock's motion is thus DENIED. The Parties are ordered to submit by April 22, 2022, a joint status report to apprise the Court of next steps in this case, including a proposed schedule for briefing dispositive motions.
