JOINT STATUS REPORT
JAMES L. ROBART, District Judge.
Plaintiffs THE HUMAN RIGHTS DEFENSE CENTER and MICHELLE DILLON and Defendants U.S. DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, ADMINISTRATION FOR CHILDREN AND FAMILIES, and OFFICE OF REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT hereby provide the Court with a Joint Status Report pursuant to the Court's April 11, 2019 Order (Dkt. No. 23).
As the Court is aware, Plaintiffs filed this Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA") action seeking certain documents from Defendants that Plaintiffs had requested pursuant to FOIA in August 2018. Since the last filing, the parties have worked on remedying technological issues that severely affect production of documents. Last week, Plaintiffs inquired as to whether the information technology issues could be addressed by seeking the requested documents from sources other than encrypted emails, which apparently require email-by-email decryption. Defendants' counsel is in the process of determining whether this is a workable solution from Defendants' FOIA officers, but does not yet have a definitive answer. Counsel anticipate additional information to be exchanged in an attempt to simplify the process.
The parties propose a joint status report to be filed on or before June 3, 2019.
[PROPOSED] ORDER
It is hereby ORDERED that:
The parties shall submit a joint status report to the Court on or before June 3, 2019.
