Judge Tanya S. Chutkan of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia has handed down an important Freedom of Information Act decision that will be of particular interest to military practitioners. Her opinion in War Horse News, Inc. v. U.S. Dep't of the Navy can be found here. At issue is a request for information contained in a Marine Corps database for reporting and tracking officer misconduct and substandard performance cases. Judge Chutkan was not buying what the government was selling.
