CHRISTOPHER R COOPER, United States District Judge
Plaintiff Sheila Butler's husband tragically perished in a fire while working at an Ohio natural gas facility. Seeking evidence for a wrongful death action against the operators of the facility, Ms. Butler lodged a Freedom of Information Act request with the Department of Labor's Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA") for records related to its investigation of the incident. The Labor Department produced hundreds of documents in response to Butler's request, but withheld or redacted others based on a number of FOIA exemptions.
