I. This Court Does Not Have Jurisdiction Over This Motion
II. The Opinion at Issue Is Sealed Pursuant to This Court’s Rules
III. This Court Should Not Vacate the Seal on the Opinion
IV. The Fact That Movant May Be Unsuccessful in the District Court in Compelling the
Department of Justice to Release a Classified, Sealed FISC Opinion Does Not Mean
That Plaintiff Faces a “Catch-22”
The release is really sticky though, this part really caugh my attention:
>"Moreover, even if this Court had
jurisdiction over this Motion, it should deny it, rather than allow another court to determine
whether any portions of its opinion should be released under FOIA. Any such release would be
incomplete and quite possibly misleading to the public about the role of this Court and the issues
discussed in the opinion."
