State of Washington v. Office of Management and Budget Doc. 35 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON AT SEATTLE 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 STATE OF WASHINGTON, Plaintiff, v. CASE NO. 2:21-cv-00564-TL ORDER ON PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND MOTION FOR STATUS CONFERENCE OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET, Defendant. This matter comes before the Court on the State of Washington’s (“Plaintiff’s” or “Washington’s”) motion for summary judgment (Dkt. No. 13) and motion requesting a status conference (Dkt. No. 29). The Court has considered the pleadings filed in support of and in opposition to the motions and the file herein and finds that oral argument is unnecessary. Washington seeks summary judgment against the United States Office of Management and Budget (“Defendant” or “OMB” or “Agency”) for failing to meet its obligations under the Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”). Specifically, Washington claims that OMB (1) failed to provide a required determination regarding its records request and (2) improperly delayed 24 ORDER ON PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND MOTION FOR STATUS CONFERENCE - 1 Dockets.Justia.com 1 production of responsive records. As discussed below, the Court GRANTS IN PART and DENIES IN 2 PART 3 Washington’s request for a status conference as moot. Washington’s motion for summary judgement. Consequently, the Court DENIES 4 I. BACKGROUND This is Washington’s second round of FOIA litigation arising from requests for records 5 6 related to the Federal National Archives in Seattle. 7 A. 8 FOIA Litigation: Round 1 In February 2020, after learning of a proposed plan to sell the Seattle National Archives 9 building, Washington requested records about the federal government’s plans from four different 10 federal agencies involved in the planning, including Defendant. In August and September 2020, 11 Washington filed similar FOIA lawsuits against each agency alleging the agencies failed to 12 promptly respond. See State of Washington v. Office of Management and Budget, 2:20-cv-1231- 13 RSL (W.D. Wash. 2020); State of Washington v. U.S. National Archives and Records 14 Administration, 2:20-cv-1232-RSL (W.D. Wash. 2020); State of Washington v. U.S. General 15 Services Administration, 2:20-cv-1233-RSL (W.D. Wash. 2020); State of Washington v. Public 16 Buildings Reform Board, 2:20-cv-1364-RSL (W.D. Wash. 2020). In December 2020—4 months 17 after filing the lawsuit and 10 months after its original FOIA requests—Washington was granted 18 summary judgment in its case against the Public Buildings Reform Board. See State of 19 Washington v. Public Buildings Reform Board, 2:20-cv-1364-RSL at Dkt. No. 18. There, the 20 Court ordered the agency to produce all remaining responsive documents on an expedited 21 timeline. Id. All four cases subsequently resolved through cooperation of the parties without the 22 need for further judicial intervention by December 2021. 23 24 ORDER ON PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND MOTION FOR STATUS CONFERENCE - 2 1 B. FOIA Litigation: Round 2 This case arises from a new set of FOIA requests for additional records related to the 2 3 National Archives building that Washington made on February 25, 2021. Dkt. No. 13 at 6. On 4 February 26, OMB acknowledged receipt of the request and provided a tracking number. Dkt. 5 No. 19 at 2-3. Since Washington did not request expedited processing, OMB scheduled the 6 request for standard processing. Id. While that process was underway, this lawsuit was filed in 7 April 2021.1 Dkt. No. 1. Like the Round 1 cases, Washington alleges the Agency has failed to 8 meet its FOIA obligations in responding to the new February 2021 request. After the lawsuit was initiated, counsel for the Agency began communicating with 9 10 counsel for Washington regarding the Agency’s progress. Washington acknowledges that the 11 Agency identified a “large volume of materials” that it was reviewing. Dkt. No. 13 at 7. The 12 Parties worked cooperatively to identify appropriate search parameters to make the process more 13 efficient and started to negotiate a stipulated production schedule. Id. at 7, Dkt. No. 19 at 3-6. 14 Despite these communications, by August 2021 (six months after making the new FOIA requests 15 and four months after filing the lawsuit), Washington had not received any of the identified 16 documents, although the Agency had committed to making its initial production by August 30 17 and proposed a rolling production schedule through April 2022. Dkt. No. 11 at 7; Dkt. No. 19 18 at 5, 9. 19 Washington moved for summary judgment on August 19, requesting injunctive relief in 20 the form of an expedited production schedule. Dkt. No. 13. The motion, originally noted for 21 September 10, 2021, was voluntarily re-noted for October 1 by Washington (see Dkt. No. 16), 22 1 23 24 Plaintiff has also asserted similar claims against the other three agencies from the Round 1 litigation in separate lawsuits. See State of Washington v. U.S. National Archives and Records Administration, No. 2:21-cv-00565-TL (filed Apr. 27, 2021); State of Washington v. Public Buildings Reform Board, No. 2:21-cv-00566-TL (filed Apr. 27, 2021); State of Washington v. U.S. General Services Administration, No. 2:21-cv-00794-TL (filed Jun. 11, 2021). ORDER ON PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND MOTION FOR STATUS CONFERENCE - 3 1 and the briefing schedule was adjusted accordingly by stipulation of the parties. See Dkt. 2 Nos. 17, 18. The Agency appears to have met its initial production commitment and has 3 continued making rolling productions. Dkt. No. 23 at 7-8. 4 In late November 2021, the Parties further stipulated to continuing the previously adopted 5 dispositive motion briefing schedule and revisiting the need for additional dispositive motions 6 after Washington’s then pending motion for summary judgment was resolved. Dkt. Nos. 25, 26. 7 On February 16, 2022, Washington filed an opposed motion requesting a status conference with 8 the Court. Dkt. Nos. 32, 33, 34. 9 10 II. SUMMARY JUDGMENT STANDARD Most FOIA cases resolve on summary judgment. Animal Legal Def. Fund v. U.S. Food & 11 Drug Admin., 836 F.3d 987, 989 (9th Cir. 2016) (en banc) (per curiam). Summary judgment is 12 appropriate where, viewing “the evidence in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party,” 13 the court determines that there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and that the moving 14 party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Id. (citing Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(c)). Material facts 15 are those which might affect the outcome of the suit under governing law. Moujtahid v. United 16 States Citizenship & Immigr. Servs., 2020 WL 4000980, at *3 (W.D. Wash. July 15, 2020) 17 (citing Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 248 (1986)). To survive summary 18 judgment “the nonmoving party must make a ‘sufficient showing on an essential element of her 19 case with respect to which she has the burden of proof.’” Id. (quoting Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 20 477 U.S. 317, 323 (1986)). 21 III. DISCUSSION 22 FOIA establishes a “judicially enforceable public right” of access to federal agency 23 records. Elec. Frontier Found. v. Off. of the Dir. of Nat. Intel., 639 F.3d 876, 882 (9th Cir. 2010), 24 abrogated on other grounds by Animal Legal Def. Fund, 836 F.3d at 989. In doing so, it imposes ORDER ON PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND MOTION FOR STATUS CONFERENCE - 4 1 certain requirements upon any federal agency presented with a valid records request, including a 2 duty to: (1) determine within 20 days—or 30 days in unusual circumstances—whether to comply 3 with the request (see 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(6)(A), (B)); and (2) make all appropriately requested 4 records promptly available to the requestor (5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(3)(A)). An agency may withhold 5 or redact otherwise responsive records by invoking any of nine narrowly construed statutory 6 exceptions. 5 U.S.C. § 552(b). However, “FOIA's strong presumption in favor of disclosure 7 means that an agency that invokes one of the statutory exemptions to justify the withholding of 8 any requested documents or portions of documents bears the burden of demonstrating that the 9 exemption properly applies to the documents.” Elec. Frontier Found., 639 F.3d at 883 (internal 10 quotations and citations omitted). Plaintiff seeks summary judgment on its FOIA claims by arguing that Defendant has 11 12 failed to meet its FOIA obligations in two ways: (1) it has failed to provide an initial 13 determination; and (2) it has failed to promptly produce responsive records. 14 A. 15 FOIA’s Determination Requirement FOIA requires an agency to make its initial determination within 20 days of receiving a 16 request or within 30 days under unusual circumstances. 5 § 552(a)(6)(A)(i), (a)(6)(B)(i); see also 17 Aguirre v. United States Nuclear Regul. Comm'n, 11 F.4th 719, 725 (9th Cir. 2021); Citizens for 18 Resp. & Ethics in Washington v. Fed. Election Comm'n (CREW), 711 F.3d 180, 182 (D.C. Cir. 19 2013). The agency’s determination must include “the scope of the documents that the agency 20 will produce, as well as the scope of the documents that the agency plans to withhold under any 21 FOIA exemptions.” CREW, 711 F.3d at 186; accord Aguirre, 11 F.4th at 726 n.1 (citing to 22 CREW as “delineating the requirements for a proper response”). Defendant appears to concede 23 that it missed its statutory deadline but argues that it eventually met its determination obligations 24 by informing Plaintiff of the results of its search efforts, the scope of exemptions invoked in its ORDER ON PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND MOTION FOR STATUS CONFERENCE - 5 1 initial productions, and its expectation that similar exemptions would be required for future 2 productions. Dkt. No. 19 at 17-18. Plaintiff argues that the information Defendant has provided 3 is not specific enough to communicate the scope of documents it will produce or withhold, 4 sufficient to meet its FOIA obligations. Dkt. No. 23 at 2-3. Although undeniably untimely, the 5 Court finds that Defendant has nonetheless met its obligation to provide a substantive 6 determination. 7 An agency’s substantive determination obligations are met once the requestor has “actual 8 notice” of the information required for a determination. Jud. Watch, Inc. v. U.S. Dep't of Just., 9 410 F. Supp. 3d 216, 224 (D.D.C. 2019). The record here indicates that the Parties worked 10 cooperatively, at least until Plaintiff decided to file this motion, to identify the universe of 11 documents that would be reviewed for responsiveness and exemption based on negotiated search 12 parameters and then to determine a production schedule based on the results of those searches. 13 Thus, Plaintiff was fully aware of the scope of records involved in its request. Further, having 14 produced a subset of those records upon which exemption determinations were made, Defendant 15 appears to have met its obligations as to the scope of potential exemptions contemplated in 16 CREW. See Cmty. Ass'n for Restoration of the Env't, Inc. v. U.S. E.P.A., 36 F. Supp. 3d 1039, 17 1049 (E.D. Wash. 2014) (finding that it was sufficient for the agency to inform the requestor that 18 it would apply similar exemptions to future productions as were applied to a subset of documents 19 previously produced). 20 In its reply to the Agency’s opposition, Washington challenges some of the exemptions 21 that the Agency invoked in the limited production it had received at that time, arguing that the 22 Agency therefore failed to meet its determination obligations. Dkt. No. 23 at 7-9. An agency 23 may withhold or redact records by invoking any of nine narrowly construed statutory exceptions, 24 5 U.S.C. § 552(b), but the agency “bears the burden of demonstrating that the exemption ORDER ON PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND MOTION FOR STATUS CONFERENCE - 6 1 properly applies to the documents.” Elec. Frontier Found., 639 F.3d at 883 (internal quotations 2 and citations omitted). Specifically, Washington argues that the Agency failed to produce a 3 Vaughn index, or the equivalent, with its initial productions. Dkt. No. 23 at 8-9. While the Court 4 is concerned about Washington’s allegations regarding the lack of information provided by the 5 Agency to support its invocation of exemptions, the Court notes that a Vaughn index is typically 6 the product of litigation and is not a requirement under the statute. See Minier v. Cent. Intel. 7 Agency, 88 F.3d 796, 804 (9th Cir. 1996) (“[C]ourts often require Vaughn indices . . . . Vaughn 8 indices, however, are not appropriate in all FOIA cases.”); Sakamoto v. EPA, 443 F. Supp. 2d 9 1182, 1189 (N.D. Cal. 2006) (“Initial agency responses to FOIA requests are not required to 10 contain a Vaughn index.”). Further, the Agency had produced only a fraction of the documents 11 involved in this litigation at the time Washington filed its motion, and the Court does not intend 12 to make exemption determinations on a piecemeal basis, as that would be extremely inefficient. 13 The appropriate “penalty” for an agency missing its determination deadline “is that the 14 agency cannot rely on [FOIA’s] administrative exhaustion requirement to keep cases from 15 getting into court.” CREW, 711 F.3d at 189. OMB does not challenge Washington’s lawsuit on 16 administrative exhaustion grounds, but instead argues that Washington cannot receive its 17 requested relief on summary judgment due to the Agency’s untimely determination. Dkt. No. 19 18 at 19-21. On the contrary, Washington argues that injunctive relief is appropriate where there is a 19 demonstrated pattern or practice of violations by the Agency and where the delay in providing a 20 determination is egregious. Dkt. No. 13 at 11; Dkt. No. 23 at 3-4. 21 1. Washington Fails to Raise an Actionable Pattern or Practice Claim 22 “[P]attern-or-practice claims are viable under FOIA” when adequately alleged. Aguirre, 23 11 F.4th at 728; see also Hajro v. U.S. Citizenship & Immigr. Servs., 811 F.3d 1086, 1107 (9th 24 Cir. 2016) (noting that “FOIA's prescribed relief is injunctive or declaratory, [so] generally a ORDER ON PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND MOTION FOR STATUS CONFERENCE - 7 1 plaintiff alleging a pattern or practice claim under FOIA must also meet th[e] future harm 2 requirement” to establish standing). Washington argues that it has adequately alleged a pattern or 3 practice claim that warrants injunctive relief. Dkt. No. 13 at 11-13. The Agency responds that no 4 such claim was raised in Washington’s Complaint, nor were sufficient facts alleged in the 5 Complaint to establish standing for a pattern or practice claim. Dkt. No. 19 at 20. Washington 6 counters by arguing that “it did include allegations regarding OMB’s prior FOIA violations 7 related to the same subject matter” in its Complaint. Dkt. No. 23 at 4. The only allegations 8 regarding its prior FOIA requests included in Washington’s Complaint are an oblique reference 9 to this being the second round of FOIA requests related to the Seattle National Archives, Dkt. 10 No. 1 at ¶ 1, and a footnote referencing the then still pending litigation stemming from the first 11 round of requests. Id. at 1 n.1. Even if these references were sufficient to imply a pattern or 12 practice claim was being raised, as Washington appears to argue, they are not sufficient to meet 13 the future harm requirement needed to establish standing for such a claim. Nor may Washington 14 amend its Complaint through briefing on summary judgment. 15 2. OMB’s Delay Was Not Egregious 16 Washington argues that the amount of time between its initial request and the Agency’s 17 initial production demonstrates an egregious delay. Dkt. No. 13 at 11-12. Washington relies 18 primarily on P.W. Arms, Inc. v. United States, which found that a 20-month delay before the 19 agency in question even initiated a search was sufficiently egregious to warrant injunctive relief. 20 P.W. Arms, Inc. v. United States, 2017 WL 319250, at *2 (W.D. Wash. Jan. 23, 2017). Similarly, 21 Washington points to Oregon Natural Desert Association v. Gutierrez, where the requestor was 22 left in the dark for eight months without a response from the agency. Oregon Nat. Desert Ass'n v. 23 Gutierrez, 409 F. Supp. 2d 1237, 1248 (D. Or. 2006). Even though length of delay was a 24 consideration in these cases, it was not the sole determinative factor in deciding that the ORDER ON PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND MOTION FOR STATUS CONFERENCE - 8 1 agencies’ actions constituted egregious delay. Unlike in P.W. Arms or Gutierrez, here the 2 Agency: (1) actively communicated with Washington about its efforts to identify the universe of 3 potentially responsive documents; (2) worked with Washington to ensure it was conducting the 4 appropriate searches; and (3) upon identifying the scope of potentially responsive documents, 5 cooperated with Washington to negotiate a review and production schedule. Dkt. No. 13 at 7; 6 Dkt. No. 19 at 3-8. At no point was Washington left completely in the dark as to whether the 7 Agency would respond to its request. To the contrary, Washington was kept informed of the 8 Agency’s progress along the way. 9 While there is no doubt that the Agency failed to meet the statutory deadline for 10 providing a complete determination, its actions do not rise to the level of egregious delay as to 11 warrant injunctive relief. The appropriate “penalty” for the Agency’s delay is to relieve 12 Washington of FOIA’s administrative exhaustion requirement, but that is not at issue here. This 13 approach preserves the “[statutory] scheme [that] provides an incentive for agencies to move 14 quickly but recognizes that agencies may not always be able to adhere to the timelines that 15 trigger the exhaustion requirement.” CREW, 711 F.3d at 189. Plaintiff is not entitled to its requested relief for Defendant’s untimely determination as a 16 17 matter of law. The Court therefore DENIES summary judgement on these grounds. 18 B. FOIA’s Prompt Production Requirement 19 Agencies are expected to make requested documents “promptly available” which 20 typically means “within days or a few weeks . . . not months or years.” CREW, 711 F.3d at 188; 21 see also Kinnucan v. Nat'l Sec. Agency, 2021 WL 6125809, at *9 (W.D. Wash. Dec. 28, 2021) 22 (same) (quoting CREW, 711 F.3d at 188). Here, more than four months elapsed before the 23 Agency was prepared to even begin producing documents and, even then, at a relatively 24 constrained pace. Dkt. No. 19 at 5. The Agency’s proposed rolling productions would not be ORDER ON PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND MOTION FOR STATUS CONFERENCE - 9 1 completed until April 2022—more than 13 months after receipt of the request. Id. at 9. That this 2 kind of months long delay could result in summary judgement should be no surprise to the 3 Agency. See Public Buildings Reform Board, 2:20-cv-01364-RSL at Dkt. No. 18 (granting 4 summary judgment to the Plaintiff for the Agency’s failure to promptly produce documents in a 5 case involving similar parties, represented by the same counsel, regarding similar requests, under 6 similar circumstances). 7 The Parties appear to agree that such a delay is excusable if the Agency can show that the 8 delay was due to exceptional circumstances and that the Agency is nonetheless acting with due 9 diligence to complete the request. See 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(6)(C). OMB relies on the fact that it has 10 experienced an increase in the volume of requests it has received since 2017 and recent staff 11 reductions to demonstrate exceptional circumstances. Dkt. No. 19 at 12-13; Dkt. No. 21 at ¶¶ 27- 12 31. Generally, “predictable staffing limitations do not [] constitute ‘exceptional circumstances.’” 13 ACLU of Washington v. U.S. Dep't of Just., 2010 WL 11692313, at *2 (W.D. Wash. Jan. 19, 14 2010). In ACLU of Washington, the Court rejected similar arguments regarding unexpected 15 resignations and retirements stemming from the relocation of the FBI’s Record/Information 16 Dissemination Section in Virginia. Id. Additionally, FOIA provides that “the term ‘exceptional 17 circumstances’ does not include a delay that results from a predictable agency workload of 18 requests under this section, unless the agency demonstrates reasonable progress in reducing its 19 backlog of pending requests.” 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(6)(C)(ii). OMB presents no facts to demonstrate 20 “reasonable progress in reducing its backlog” prior to the recent staff shortages and, therefore, 21 cannot establish the delay was due to exceptional circumstances. See ACLU of Washington, 2010 22 WL 11692313, at *3. For these reasons, the Court need not decide whether OMB was acting 23 with due diligence, as its delay cannot be excused without a showing of exceptional 24 circumstances. ORDER ON PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND MOTION FOR STATUS CONFERENCE - 10 The Agency’s equitable arguments are now essentially moot. OMB spends much of its 1 2 opposition arguing that regardless of whether the Court finds that it has violated its FOIA 3 obligations, the Court should exercise its equitable discretion to deny Washington’s request for 4 injunctive relief in the form of expedited production. Dkt. No. 19 at 14-17. Essentially, OMB 5 argues that the balance of equities tilts in its favor because of the hardships an expedited 6 production schedule would cause to its process, likely negatively effecting the processing of 7 other requests, and because it would likely increase the risk of inadvertent disclosure of exempt 8 records. Id. The Court notes that at the time OMB prepared its opposition briefing, the Agency 9 was projecting being able to complete all productions by April 2022.2 Dkt. No. 19 at 9. Thus, 10 whatever the balance of equities may have been at the time, OMB has now had ample time, by 11 its own estimation, and the records request should be nearly complete. Any argument against 12 Washington’s requested injunctive relief based on the balance of equities is no longer availing. 13 For these reasons, the Court GRANTS summary judgment for Washington due to OMB’s 14 failure to promptly produce requested records. As such, the Court ORDERS OMB to produce all 15 remaining non-exempt public records responsive to the Washington’s request within 21 days of 16 the date of this Order. In line with the Court’s order regarding expedited completion of all 17 remaining productions and its concern regarding Washington’s claims of insufficient information 18 regarding exemptions, the Court ORDERS OMB to provide Washington with a complete and 19 comprehensive Vaughn index within ten (10) days of completing its production (or within 20 ten (10) days of the date of this order, if the production has already been completed). The Parties 21 are further ORDERED to meet and confer regarding the exemptions and to prepare a joint status 22 report regarding the scope of any remaining exemption issues and a proposed briefing schedule 23 2 24 Heather Walsh, OMB Deputy General Counsel, stated in her declaration in support of Defendant’s summary judgment response that document processing could be completed by March 30, 2022. Dkt. No. 21 at ¶ 19. ORDER ON PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND MOTION FOR STATUS CONFERENCE - 11 1 regarding unresolved exemption challenges by no later than April 25, 2022. The Court 2 anticipates the Parties will be able to narrow the scope of remaining exemption challenges 3 requiring Court intervention through this process. 4 C. 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Plaintiff’s Request for a Status Conference The Court DENIES the request for a status conference as moot per this Order. The Parties may request a status conference if warranted on alternate grounds. IV. ORDER Therefore, the Court GRANTS IN PART and DENIES IN PART Washington’s motion for summary judgement (Dkt. No. 13) and DENIES Washington’s request for a status conference (Dkt. No. 29). The Court further ORDERS that 1. OMB will produce to Washington all remaining non-exempt responsive records within twenty-one (21) days of the date of this Order; 2. OMB will produce to Washington a complete and comprehensive Vaughn index 14 within ten (10) days of the completion of all remaining productions (or within ten (10) days of 15 the date of this Order if all productions have already been completed); 16 3. The Parties shall meet and confer to narrow the scope of any remaining exemption 17 challenges and shall prepare a joint status report and proposed dispositive motion briefing 18 schedule to be filed no later than April 25, 2022. 19 20 21 22 23 24 The Clerk is directed to send uncertified copies of this Order to all counsel of record and to any party appearing pro se at said party’s last known address. Dated this 18th day of March 2022. A Tana Lin United States District Judge ORDER ON PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AND MOTION FOR STATUS CONFERENCE - 12
