Mr. Musgrave,
This is in reference to your email dated April 8, 2016.
Processing of this case is underway. Each case is different and the processing time depends on the complexity of information requested, the location of the information, and the time it takes to review the records.
The estimated completion date (ECD) for this case is May 31, 2016.
ECDs are subject to change and are "strictly" estimates and not intended to be used as "actual" dates of completion, due to various extenuating factors, which are beyond the control of the Branch, which may or may not include coordination with other Agencies during the process (referrals, concurrences, etc.). Interim release dates are provided, as applicable.
I hope this information is helpful. If you have further concerns or any questions regarding any FOIA-related matter, please contact the FOIA Requester Service Center (FRSC) at (202) 261-8484, or fax us at (202) 261-8579 or send an e-mail to foiastatus@state.gov.

In accordance with Executive Order 13526, this message is UNCLASSIFIED
From: FBI
The request has been rejected by the agency.
From: MuckRock
Director, Office of Information Policy
U.S. Department of Justice, Suite 11050
1425 New York Ave., NW
Washington, D.C. 20530-001
To Whom It May Concern: I hereby appeal the rejection in full of my request under the Freedom of Information Act. This request, which FBI assigned tracking number 1353045-000, was forwarded to the FBI from the State Department. As is its typical process, the FBI failed to cite specific justifications for invoking exemptions. This is contrary to both the spirit and letter of the FOIA, as well as contrary to guidelines from the Justice Department (Office of Information Policy). This is one of dozens of instances where the FBI inappropriately invoked exemptions in blanket fashion without the requisite specificity. Furthermore, the FBI failed to justify its withholding of the three pages in full rather than issuing these documents with partial redactions. It is clear under federal guidelines that agencies must redact documents where possible, rather than withhold documents in full. In light of the above, I hereby request that the OIP remand this request to the FBI for review of the responsive documents and provision of documents in accordance with their obligations under the Freedom of Information Act.
Respectfully,
Shawn Musgrave
