Notable Quotes 3
"[A]lthough [courts] give deference to an agency's predictive judgment of the harm that will result from disclosure of information, it is not sufficient for the agency to simply assert that disclosure will interfere with enforcement proceedings; it must rather demonstrate how disclosure will do so."
"[T]he record establishes that the release of the requested information could reasonably be expected to cause articulable harm."
"[A]ny reasonably segregable portion of a record shall be provided to any person requesting such record after deletion of the portions which are exempt."
