United States DC Circuit

In an appeal from the District Court's order permitting the Office of Management & Budget (OMB) to redact certain documents in response to a Freedom of Information Act request, the order is reversed, where 1) the documents did not relate predominantly to OMB's internal practices; and 2) they were not predecisional and deliberative.
