Description
Rogers, Circuit Judge: James Campbell appeals from the grant of summary judgment to the Department of Justice in an action under the Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA") seeking Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") records about author and civil rights activist James Baldwin. Campbell contends that the FBI has conducted an inadequate search for documents responsive to his FOIA request, that the declarations in support of the FBIs invocation of FOIAs national security and law enforcement exemptions are insufficiently detailed to establish the absence of a genuine dispute of material fact, and that the district court erred in affirming the FBIs denial of Campbells request for a complete waiver of fees. We agree with these contentions, in part because this circuits FOIA jurisprudence has advanced while the lawsuit has stood relatively still, and we therefore reverse and remand the case to the district court for further proceedings.
