Center for Biological Diversity v. Office of Management and Budget

No. 1:25-cv-00165 District · Active Active

Case Overview

The Center for Biological Diversity sued OMB to compel it to release records of its communications with the Department of Government Efficiency under the Freedom of Information Act.


The Application

History

The Center for Biological Diversity seeks OMB's communications with DOGE; OMB must determine whether these records constitute protected predecisional deliberations or instead constitute factual information that must be disclosed, with the agency bearing the burden of justifying any exemption claim.

The Conclusion

The case remains active before Judge Beryl A. Howell, with resolution dependent on whether OMB successfully establishes that the requested communications qualify for FOIA exemptions or must be released to the plaintiff.
