"This is a FOIA action in which the plaintiff seeks release of an internal record created by the office of special counsel Robert Mueller ('SCO') referenced in former SCO prosecutor Andrew Weissmann’s book 'Where the Law Ends: Inside the Muller Investigation'. Since the plaintiff filed its complaint, the defendant has located and begun processing this record and intends to release all non-exempt portions to the plaintiff once processing is complete," Assistant US Attorney, Jennifer Jude, wrote in the letter dated 2 December.
"In light of this progress, the parties jointly request that the 10 December initial conference be adjourned sine die and propose that they submit a joint status letter to the court by 14 February 2022, proposing next steps in this case. Additionally, because no discovery is anticipated in this FOIA case, the parties respectfully request that they be relieved of the obligation to file a proposed case management plan for this case," it added.
