Re: Request for the "evidence book" used during requester's criminal trial
Disposition: Holding in abeyance defendant's motion for partial summary judgment and denying plaintiff's motion for judgment on the pleadings as moot
- Litigation Considerations, Adequacy of Search: The court holds that the defendant "has not met its burden to demonstrate that it conducted an adequate search for responsive records . . .." The declarations "merely recount[]" that responsive records were found and "do not [explain] the search terms and the type of search performed[.]"
- Exemptions 6 & 7(C): The court holds that the defendant "offers no explanation as to why its redactions are proper[,]" stating, "[t]his is far below the explanation required under this Circuit's standards."
