Court opinions issued Nov. 25, 2019

Citizens for Responsibility & Ethics in Wash v. HUD. (D.D.C.) -- denying government’s motion to dismiss after finding that plaintiffs’ complaint sufficiently alleged that, “as a matter of policy or practice, HUD denies [fee] waivers without giving them adequate consideration, particularly when the request’s subject may reflect poorly on the agency or its senior officials”

Ctr. for Public Integrity v. DOD (D.D.C.) -- ordering DOD and OMB to process Ukraine-related records by certain dates after finding that the balance of hardships and the public interest weighed in favor of expediting the production of documents.
