Shaw v. DOJ (D.D.C.) -- finding that: (1) Criminal Division properly withheld emails between employee and former law firm colleagues as non-agency records because they were created and used for purely personal reasons unrelated to DOJ activities or plaintiff; and (2) agency properly redacted certain personal information pursuant to Exemption 6, which was not overcome by plaintiff’s bare allegations of government misconduct.
