Dear Ms. Ivory:

Attached, please find the Bureau of Prisons' (BOP) release of the first set of records responsive to the above captioned case and corresponding FOIA Request No. 2019- 05665. After careful review of the first set of records, we have determined 10 pages are available for release in full; 9 pages are available for release in part; 1 page is duplicative and 434 pages must be withheld in their entirety. Copies of the releasable records are attached hereto.

Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552, the records are redacted and/or withheld under the following exemptions:

(b)(5) concerns certain inter- and intra-agency communications protected by the deliberative process privilege, the attorney work-product privilege, and/or the attorney-client privilege;

(b)(6) concerns material the release of which would constitute a clearly - unwarranted invasion of the personal privacy of third parties;

(b)(7)(A) concerns records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes the release of which could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings;

(b)(7)(B) concerns records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes the release of which would deprive a person of a right to a fair trial or an impartial adjudication

(b)(7) (C) concerns records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes the release of which could reasonably be expected to constitute an unwarranted invasion of the personal privacy of third parties;

(b)(7) (E) concerns records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes the release of which would disclose techniques and procedures for law enforcement investigations or prosecutions;

(b)(7)(F) - concerns records or information compiled for law enforcement purposes the release of which could reasonably be expected to endanger the life or personal safety of an individual.
