Platsky v. FBI (S.D.N.Y.) -- determining that FBI properly relied on Exemption 7(E) in refusing to confirm or deny the existence of records indicating whether plaintiff appeared on watch list.
Reporters Comm. for Freedom of the Press v. FBI (D.C. Cir.) -- affirming in part, reversing in part, and dismissing in part district court’s decision concerning records of FBI’s impersonation of the media, and concluding that: (1) the government “properly withheld the emails in which FBI leadership deliberated about appropriate responses to media and legislative pressure to alter the FBI’s undercover tactics, as well as internal conversations about the implications of changing their undercover practices going forward;” and (2) the government “did not satisfy its burden to show either that the other documents at issue in this case were deliberative or that their disclosure would cause foreseeable harm.”
