  • ordering production after the government abandoned its assertion of its lone FOIA exemption and did not identify “extraordinary circumstances” or “a substantial change in the factual context” justifying its failure to invoke another exemption
  • “[T]he government does not necessarily have to produce a Vaughn index to justify denying a FOIA request under other Page 11 of 16 exemptions . . . . [W]e have upheld the government’s assertion of FOIA exemptions other than 7(A) based on something less than a Vaughn index.”
