Hardimon v. U.S., No. 18-5371, 2019 U.S. App. LEXIS 22412 (D.C. Cir. July 26, 2019) (per curiam)

Re:  Request for certain IRS visitor records

Disposition:  Granting government's motion for summary affirmance of district court's grant of government's motion for summary judgment

  • Litigation Considerations, Vaughn Index/Declaration:  The Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit holds that "[t]he government submitted multiple declarations that established the adequacy of the searches conducted by employees at the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Illinois and the Internal Revenue Service."  "[The requester's] argument that the declarations impermissibly rely on second-hand information is unavailing, because declarations may depend on second-hand information, where, as here, the information provided 'is not at all speculative.'"
