ENDORSED LETTER addressed to Judge Richard J. Sullivan from Alexander A.

Since that time, Plaintiffs have reviewed the production and conferred with Defendants regarding future proceedings. Plaintiffs will likely raise several challenges to Defendants' withholding of records; however, the parties continue to discuss the scope of those challenges, if any, in the hope of narrowing them. To allow those discussions to continue, the parties respectfully request until January 21, 2011 to submit a joint status report apprising the Court of the status of the parties' negotiations and the need for further litigation if any. Should further litigation be necessary, it will consist of cross-motions for summary judgment as to the propriety of Defendants' withholding of responsive records pursuant to the various exemptions of FOIA. See 5 U.S.C. § 552(b). ENDORSEMENT: SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Richard J. Sullivan on 12/17/2010) (lnl) (Entered: 12/20/2010)
