Am. Civil Liberties Union v. DOJ (S.D.N.Y.) -- concluding that DOJ properly invoked Exemptions 7(C) and 7(E) to withhold records concerning various grant programs, and that it properly withheld some, but not all, records pursuant to Exemption 6.
Lawrence v. SBA (E.D. Mich.) -- finding that: (1) agency’s argument that plaintiff failed to exhaust his administrative remedies was incorrect but not “objectively unreasonable” so as to warrant sanctions; and (2) plaintiff was eligible for attorney’s fees because his lawsuit was a contributing cause to disclosure of Paycheck Protection Program loan records, and he was entitled to a reasonable award based on the balance of relevant factors.
Hawkinson v. EOIR (D. Mass.) -- finding that agency conducted adequate search for certain Board of Immigration Appeals decisions notwithstanding omission of single document that plaintiff already possessed.
