Investigation (“FBI”) for summary judgment. The court is in the process of reviewing the
submissions of the parties with regard to FBI’s motion but has found that Vaughn index that was
the subject of the notice at Docket Number 134 was either not filed with the court or was filed
unsuccessfully. In his opposition to FBI’s motion for summary judgment, Plaintiff makes
reference to characteristics of the Vaughn index and FBI’s memorandum of points and
authorities makes reference to it as well. The court finds it cannot give full consideration to the
arguments of the parties without access to a copy of the Vaughn index that was produced to
Plaintiff. It is therefore hereby ORDERED that FBI file or refile the Vaughn Index that was
produced to Plaintiff on April 10, 2015.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
