USPS (D.D.C) -- ruling on renewed summary judgment that: (1) agency failed to justify using Exemption 7(C) to withhold arrest warrant affidavit, because the criminal docket for plaintiff’s prosecution appeared to contain same document in unreacted form; (2) upon ex parte, in camera review, agency properly withheld an operation plan pursuant to Exemption 7(E); and (3) no evidence exists that agency failed to include any documents in its Vaughn Index.
Jackson v. DHS (D. Idaho) -- dismissing pro se prisoner’s complaint in light of the “fanciful nature of the allegations underlying his FOIA requests,” which sought “government records related to transforming inmates into zombie slaves.”
