Claim Types
Outcome
The court granted in part and denied in part the EEOC's motion requiring the defendant contractor to return or destroy inadvertently disclosed EEOC investigative files. The court found that while FOIA Exemption 7(A) could apply to protect law enforcement materials, the EEOC had waived certain protections by not asserting the exemption in its initial determination letter, and the defendant's status as a party to the litigation did not diminish its FOIA rights.
