Guarascio v. FBI (D.D.C.) -- in case concerning records of plaintiff’s conviction for manufacturing child pornography, concluding that: (1) although FBI processed and released requested records, FBI failed to show that plaintiff lacked standing to challenge his FOIA/Privacy Act waiver; (2) FBI’s search was inadequate “because it did not aver that it searched all files that are likely to contain responsive materials”; (3) plaintiff was not entitled to a waiver due to indigency or any alleged improprieties in his criminal case, and he failed to show that public interest would be served by disclosure; and (4) FBI properly withheld records pursuant to Exemptions 3, 6, and 7(C), but it did not establish that Exemption 7(D) protected all investigatory records received from a state law enforcement agency.
