Seife v. FDA (S.D.N.Y.) -- ruling that with the exception of a few documents, FDA properly relied on Exemption 5’s deliberative process privilege to withhold records pertaining to news embargoes between 2010 and 2014; stating that statute’s “foreseeable harm” provision did not apply to requests made before 2016, but that in any event FDA “met any applicable burden.”
