• holding that Coast Guard had begun processing request shortly after receiving it and before plaintiff filed complaint
• holding that the plaintiff had not shown it had “substantially prevailed”; the agency began processing the FOIA request before the lawsuit but, because of the volume of records, released documents months after the complaint was filed
• holding catalyst theory not satisfied where agency had begun processing the request shortly after receiving it and before plaintiff filed the complaint
• denying a motion for attorneys’ fees under the catalyst theory because “multiple divisions within the Coast Guard had already begun coordinating and processing the plaintiffs’ request before [the] plaintiffs filed their lawsuit”
