Proj. for Privacy & Surveillance v. DOJ (D.C. Cir.) -- affirming district court’s decision that six intelligence agencies properly relied on Exemption 1 in refusing to confirm or deny the existence of records regarding the “unmasking” or “upstreaming” of 48 then-current or former members of congressional intelligence committees; rejecting requester’s argument that agencies were required to search for records before issuing Glomar responses or that those responses did not meet the criteria of Executive Order 13,526 or Exemption 1.
Fouts v. Exec. Office for U.S. Attorneys (S.D.N.Y.) -- denying pro se plaintiff’s motion to reconsider court’s order transferring plaintiff’s case to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, because plaintiff “failed to demonstrate that the Court overlooked any controlling law or factual matter”; noting that plaintiff did not reside in the Southern District of New York and his complaint did not indicated that the disputed records were situated there.
