United States DC Circuit

Denial of petitioner's request for an award of attorney's fees and costs under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is reversed and remanded where: 1) the district court's findings on some factors were unsupported by the record; 2) the record indicated that petitioner was the quintessential requestor of government information envisioned by FOIA; and 3) petitioner is entitled to an award of fees and costs.
