Cal.) -- concluding that: (1) Bureau of Indian Affairs performed adequate search for tribal membership and genealogy records concerning deceased family member; (2) agency properly relied on Exemption 5’s deliberative process privilege to withhold records concerning its processing of plaintiff’s FOIA request; and (3) plaintiff arguably asserted “policy-and-practice” claim, but neither party moved for summary judgment on that issue.
