Re: Request for records concerning plaintiff

Disposition: Affirming district court's grant of defendant's motion for summary judgment

• Exemption 1:  The Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit holds that "the district judge properly granted summary judgment to the NSA."  The court explains that "[t]he District of Columbia Circuit has reasoned persuasively a government agency may issue a Glomar response under Exemption 1."  The court finds that "the NSA complied with the case law and prescribed requirements for showing a Glomar response is warranted."
