ORDER granting in part and denying in part the defendants' Motion for Summary Judgment, (Doc. No. 216 ), and denying the plaintiffs' Motion for Summary Judgment, (Doc. No. 217 ): For the reasons stated in the attached decision, the defend ants' motion for summary judgment, (Doc. No. 216 ), is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART, and the plaintiffs' cross-motion for summary judgment, (Doc. No. 217 ), is DENIED. The Court grants summary judgment in th e defendants' favor as to the following withholdings:1) DHS withholding of portions of the EO Report pursuant to the deliberative process privilege under Exemption 5;2) DHS and State withholdings of portions of the EO Report under Exempt ions 1 and 7(E);3) ODNI withholding of portions of the EO Report under Exemptions 1 and 3;4) State withholding of portions of the State Cable and the Operational Q&A under Exemption 7(E); and5) State withholding of the PRA Supporting Stat ement in full pursuant to the attorney-client and deliberative process privileges under Exemption 5.The Court finds as moot the parties' motions for summary judgment as to the portions of the EO Report withheld by the CIA and NSA since they are identical to those that were properly withheld by the ODNI under Exemptions 1 and 3. Insofar as there exists a genuine issue of material fact as to whether DHS properly withheld the EO Report in full pursuant to the presidential communicatio ns privilege under Exemption 5, the case shall proceed to a factual hearing only on this discrete issue.This is not a recommended ruling. The parties consented to proceed before a United States Magistrate Judge in August 2019, (Doc. Nos. 61 , 62 , 63 ), with any appeal to be made directly to the Court of Appeals. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 73(b)-(c). Signed by Judge Robert M. Spector on April 17, 2023. (Briskin, Corey)
