MEMORANDUM OPINION
ROSEMARY M. COLLYER, District Judge.
William McMichael, a journalist, complains that the United States Department of Defense improperly responded to his requests for information from the United States Strategic Command. The initial request asked for records from a specific Inspector General investigation into misconduct allegations concerning a specific Navy captain. To each of three requests, USSTRATCOM neither confirmed- nor denied that any records existed. The Court finds that DOD’s response was improper and remands for reconsideration.
