Can a federal district court order disclosure of non-exempt, segregable portions of otherwise exempt documents?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Spurlock v. F.B.I., 69 F.3d 1010 (9th Cir. 1995):
Accordingly, a district court may retain jurisdiction to order disclosure of non-exempt, segregable portions of otherwise exempt documents. See Wiener v. F.B.I., 943 F.2d 972, 988 (9th Cir.1991), cert. denied, 505 U.S. 1212, 112 S.Ct. 3013, 120 L.Ed.2d 886 (1992). In the matter sub judice, the district court's order clearly requires disclosure of exempt information, not merely disclosure of non-exempt segregable portions of the documents.
