Re: Request for documents concerning electronic surveillance of five telephone numbers

Disposition: Granting defendant's motion for summary judgment

• Litigation Considerations, Summary Judgment:  "[T]he Court will grant summary judgment in defendants' favor."  The court first notes that, "[t]o date, plaintiff has neither filed an opposition to the motion nor requested an extension of time."  However, "[a]lthough the Court may treat defendants' unopposed motion as conceded, . . . summary judgment is warranted only if 'the movant shows that there is no genuine dispute as to any material fact and the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.'"  The court finds that "[t]he Criminal Division's declarant adequately has explained:  (1) the searches for records responsive to plaintiff's FOIA request, . . . (2) the withholding of records under FOIA Exemptions 5, 6, and 7(C), . . . the release of all reasonably segregable information, . . . and the referral of records to the EOUSA and the FBI, . . . and their subsequent release to plaintiff in full."
