Smith v. DOJ (M.D. Fla.) -- finding that: (1) FBI performed adequate searches for all but one of 14 items pertaining to a third party’s prosecution for production and possession of child pornography; (2) FBI properly withheld some, but not all, responsive records pursuant to Exemption 7(A), and FBI’s declaration discussing agency’s concurrent reliance on underlying exemptions was too general to warrant summary judgment.
