PLAINTIFF CREWS RESPONSE TO DEFENDANTS
NOTICE OF SUPPLEMENTAL AUTHORITY
On June 17, 2008, defendants filed a notice of supplemental authority with this Court
regarding the recently issued decision in CREW v. Office of Administration, Civ. No. 07-964
(CKK) (D.D.C. June 16, 2008). In response, CREW notes as follows:
On June 16, 2008, the date that the opinion and order issued in CREW v. Office of
Administration, CREW filed a notice of appeal. In addition, CREW has sought from the district
court a stay pending appeal (attached as Exhibit 1) that would require the Office of
Administration (OA) to retain all documents potentially responsive to CREWs Freedom of
Information Act (FOIA) requests at issue in that litigation pending the outcome of the appeal.

By Minute Order dated June 20, 2008 (attached as Exhibit 2), the district court set an expedited
briefing schedule and ordered OA to retain all documents subject to CREWs FOIA action
pending the courts resolution of CREWs motion for a stay.
Finally, CREW notes that the issue in CREW v. Office of Administration is whether OA
is an agency under the FOIA and must therefore respond to CREWs requests for documents
created and assembled by OA in the fulfillment of its responsibilities. As set forth in CREWs
complaint, OA is sued here because OA has possession and control of back-up tapes containing
many of the deleted records at issue in this case. Complaint, 10. Those backup tapes contain
federal record and presidential record e-mails . . .in commingled form that were copies from
White House servers serving [a]ll components of the White House . . . Id. at 33.
Respectfully submitted,
