A no responsive documents response.
From: Matthew Hoppock
I am writing to appeal the determination in this case.
First, there are a number of appeals coded (b)(5) or "DP" which do not appear to be exempt.
Second, there are a number of redactions listed "Duplicate." This is not an appropriate FOIA redaction. For e-mail threads it is critical to know what message a writer was responding to. Even if that text was provided in a separate iteration of the e-mail (e.g. in someone else's response to it) the agency has no authority to redact it as a duplicate, and doing so makes it impossible to know what the e-mail thread was about.
Third, some portions are redacted as "non-responsive" but they appear in e-mail threads where responsive information does exist. If an e-mail is responsive, its entire text is responsive and should be produced in full.
Fourth, for a number of e-mails an attachment is listed but was not produced. For example, the May 16, 2018 5:30 PM e-mail from Mary Beth Keller (page 59 of "Doc 03-M.Keller_Redacted_96_pages.pdf") lists two attachments that appear to be responsive, but neither was produced. All such attachments should have been produced.
From: Matthew Hoppock
Joseph, I'm noticing certain discrepancies in these records. For example, in the document called 2018-49990-Doc_03-M.Keller_Redacted_96_pages.pdf at page 65, the appear to be random letters missing from the e-mail message. These include letters in the writer's e-mail signature. They don't appear to be redactions. Can you help us understand what happened here? Thank you.

The Office of Information Policy has made its final determination on your FOIA Appeal Number DOJ-AP-2020-001301 . A copy of this determination is enclosed for your review, along with any enclosures, if applicable. Thank you.
From: Department of Justice, Executive Office for Immigration Review
Dear Matthew Hoppock: This response acknowledges receipt of your Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by the Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR) dated 05/09/2022 and received 05/09/2022. Your request has been assigned control number 2022-37003. The FOIA requires an agency to respond within 20 working days after receipt of the request, and EOIR endeavors to meet this standard. The FOIA permits a ten-day extension of this time period, pursuant to 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(6)(B), based on unusual circumstances. Your request involves “unusual circumstances,” and EOIR is extending the time period to respond by an additional 10 working days because your request requires the collection of records from field offices, or involves a search, collection, and review of voluminous records, or requires consultation with another agency or two or more agency components. Please be advised that due to necessary operational changes as a result of the national emergency concerning the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) outbreak, there may be significant delay in the processing of your request. EOIR FOIA requests are placed in one of three tracks. Track one is for those requests that seek and receive expedited processing pursuant to subsection (a)(6)(E) of the FOIA. Track two is for simple requests that do not involve voluminous records or lengthy consultations with other entities. Track three is for complex requests that involve voluminous records and for which lengthy or numerous consultations are required, or those requests that may involve sensitive records. Your request has been placed in track three for complex requests. If you have filed an application for a fee waiver, EOIR will address your request in a separate letter. Additionally, if you have requested expedited processing, EOIR will contact you in a separate letter. If you have any questions regarding unusual circumstances, you may contact the EOIR FOIA Service Center or FOIA Public Liaison at (703) 605-1297 to discuss reformulation or an alternative time frame to process your request, or for any further assistance regarding any aspect of your request. Alternatively, you may contact the Office of Government Information Services (OGIS) at the National Archives and Records Administration to inquire about the FOIA mediation services they offer. The contact information for OGIS is as follows: Office of Government Information Services, National Archives and Records Administration, Room 2510, 8601 Adelphi Road, College Park, Maryland 20740-6001; e-mail at ogis@nara.gov; telephone at (202) 741-5770; toll free at (877) 684-6448; or facsimile at (202) 741-5769. Sincerely, FOIA Intake
