Scott v. IRS (S.D. Fla.) -- denying agency’s motion for reconsideration of court’s ruling that certain records were not properly withheld as “return information” pursuant to Exemption 3 and 26 U.S.C. § 6103(a); declining to consider agency’s new argument that disputed records were also protected under 26 U.S.C. § 6103(b)(2)(A).

Leopold v. DOJ (D.D.C.) -- denying government’s motion to consolidate three cases concerning records about the attack on the U.S Capitol on January 6, 2021, because the overlap in agencies and documents was limited and consolidation would not necessarily be more efficient.
