• Center for Biological Diversity v. Wildlife Services

  District Court, D. Arizona · 2009-08-11 · cited 1×

  This case involved conservation groups seeking unredacted records from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Wildlife Services program under the Freedom of Information Act regarding Mexican wolf captures, depredation incidents, and related actions in the Southwest. The agency had redacted GPS coordinates from the records, arguing they were exempt from disclosure under FOIA Exemption 6 to protect the privacy of private cooperators and under Exemption 3 pursuant to a later-enacted statute protecting geospatial agricultural data. The court denied the agency's motion for summary judgment and granted the plaintiffs' motion, holding that the coordinates must be released because the agency failed to demonstrate a substantial privacy interest or credible threat of harm to individuals and because the cited statute could not be applied retroactively to the pre-enactment records request.
