How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that agency's Vaughn index described each document withheld with sufficient detail but not so much detail that the exempt material would be effectively disclosed
- holding that agency fulfilled its obligation to show why a document could not be further segregated based on declarant’s statement that she personally conducted a line-by-line review of each document withheld to make the segregability determination
- affirming summary judgment based on agency declarant’s affirmation that a line-by- line segregability analysis was conducted
- “FOIA, requiring as it does both systemic and case-specific exercises of discretion and administrative judgment and expertise, is hardly an area in which the court should attempt to micromanage the executive branch.”
