Disposition:  Denying requester’s motion to appoint counsel; dismissing as moot in part and denying in part requester’s motion for de novo review; denying requester’s motion for summary reversal; granting government’s motion for summary affirmance concerning district court’s grant of government’s renewed motion for summary judgment

• Litigation Considerations, Adequacy of Search; Exemption 1; Exemption 3:  The Court of Appeal for the District of Columbia holds that “[i]n addition, the district court correctly granted summary judgment to the [CIA].”  “The court correctly determined that the CIA’s search in response to appellant’s [FOIA] request was adequate.”  “The court also correctly concluded that the CIA had properly applied FOIA Exemptions 1 and 3 to the documents at issue in this case, . . . and that the agency’s Glomar responses were adequate. . . .”
