Am. Civil Liberties Union v. Dep't of Justice

JON O. NEWMAN, Circuit Judge:

*492This is the fourth and hopefully last appeal in protracted Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA") litigation, begun in 2011, seeking documents relating to lethal drone strikes. See New York Times Co. v. U.S. Dep't of Justice , 756 F.3d 100 (2d Cir. 2014) (" NYTimes I "); New York Times Co. v. U.S. Dep't of Justice , 806 F.3d 682 (2d Cir. 2015) (" NYTimes II "); ACLU v. U.S. Dep't of Justice , 844 F.3d 126 (2d Cir. 2016) (" ACLU "). In this appeal, as in the previous three appeals, no issue concerning the lawfulness of lethal drone strikes is presented.
