Bloche v. DOD (D.D.C.) -- on renewed summary judgment, which plaintiffs did not dispute, ruling that Department of the Army had justified its use of deliberative process and attorney-client privileges to withhold one document concerning involvement of medical professionals in designing and implementing interrogation tactics.

Aguiar v. EOUSA (D.D.C.) -- denying plaintiff’s request for litigation costs because plaintiff did not obtain judicial relief or demonstrate that his lawsuit “substantially caused” agency to respond to his FOIA requests. In analyzing “catalyst theory” prong, the court noted that EOUSA had been in contact with plaintiff before his lawsuit, worked with him to narrow requests, and produced some documents.
