Coyne v. Nat'l Guard Bureau, Dep't of Def. (E.D. Pa.) -- denying cross-motions for summary judgment where pro se plaintiff sought Inspector General records related to his disputed retirement withdrawal; holding that the agency's declaration failed to establish the adequacy of its search in both completeness and method; holding further that the agency's Vaughn indices were insufficient for failing to describe withheld documents or explain the consequences of disclosure beyond rote recitation of claimed exemptions under Exemptions 5, 6, and 7(C); finding further that the agency's segregability showing was inadequate where the declaration offered only a blanket "inextricably intertwined" assertion without document-specific analysis; lastly, entering judgment for the agency on plaintiff's unpleaded Privacy Act claim.
