Joint Status Report: Judicial Watch v. FBI

The FBI and Judicial Watch submitted a joint status report in a FOIA case. The FBI had made its first production of documents in response to Judicial Watch's FOIA request on November 21st. The parties had previously agreed that the FBI would process 500 pages for release per month on a rolling basis, with further productions anticipated for December 21st and January 21st. The parties felt it was premature to propose a briefing schedule for dispositive motions and instead proposed submitting another joint status report in 60 days to update the court on progress and adherence to the production schedule.

Defendant.

Case No. 16-cv-1658-RCL

JOINT STATUS REPORT


Plaintiff Judicial Watch and defendant Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) hereby submit
this Joint Status Report in the above-captioned case to facilitate timely resolution of this matter.
On November 21, 2016, defendant FBI made its first production of documents in response to
plaintiffs FOIA request. The parties previously agreed that the FBI would process 500 pages for
release per month, and to make monthly productions to plaintiff on a rolling basis. Defendant FBI
anticipates further productions will be made on or about December 21, 2016 and January 21, 2017, and
possibly in subsequent months as well.
Accordingly, the parties believe it is premature to propose a briefing schedule for the filing of
dispositive motions in this litigation. However, to ensure the litigation proceeds in an orderly fashion,
the parties propose to submit a Joint Status Report no later than 60 days from the date of this filing to
advise the Court of the progress made and the parties adherence or continued agreement to a reasonable
schedule for the search and production of documents. The parties are jointly submitting a proposed
order with this Joint Status Report in accordance with the above.

Case 1:16-cv-01658-RCL Document 8 Filed 12/02/16 Page 2 of 2

For all the foregoing reasons, the parties respectfully request the Court adopt the proposed order.
Dated: December 2, 2016

Respectfully submitted,
