Court opinions issued Mar. 25, 2019
Am. Oversight v. DOJ (D.D.C.) -- determining that plaintiff was eligible and entitled to award of fees in connection with requests concerning Attorney General Jeff Sessions and White House Chief of Staff Reince Preibus, but reducing requested award by one-third because of plaintiff’s overstaffing and inefficiencies in case that required no substantive briefing. Of note, the court ruled that plaintiff “substantially prevailed” by virtue of the issuance of judicial orders establishing document production schedules.
Crisman v. DOJ (D.D.C.) -- finding that properly redacted portions of documents pursuant to deliberative process privilege, but only after FBI had supplementally released information from those documents upon applying reasonable foreseeable harm standard set forth in FOIA Improvement Act of 2016.
