Sonia Dettmann v. U.S. Department of Justice
Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit
Decided December 3, 1986No. 85-5728PublishedCited by 103 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
STARR, Circuit Judge:
Appeal is taken in this FOIA case from the District Court’s grant of summary judgment in favor of the Government. The principal issue before us concerns the propriety of the FBI’s treatment of the FOIA request submitted by appellant, Sonia Dettmann, as it related to documents concerning investigations of events, organizations, or individuals other than Dettmann but which contained Dettmann’s name. These sorts of records are designated as “see” references by the FBI and constitute a recurring question in the administration of FOIA as it pertains to the FBI.
