The Court orders the government to respond to Pickard’s letter by November 23,
2015. Specifically: (1) does the government agree that “in camera review of the withheld
records and a review of the propriety of the agency’s withholding decisions” is now ripe for
review? (2) if yes, confirm that the Court possesses all the withheld records; and (3) identify
all legal authorities that the government asserts the Court should follow in its review of the
agency’s withholding decision.
Pickard may reply by November 30.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Date: November 16, 2015
