Envtl. Prot. Info. Ctr. v. US Forest Serv., No. 04-15512 [9th Cir. December 19, 2005]

[J.W.]

ADMINISTRATIVE LAW, ENVIRONMENTAL LAW, GOVERNMENT LAW

Summary judgment for defendant regarding its denial of waivers of fees for certain records requests by plaintiffs under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) is reversed because only statutes setting mandatory fees, rather than statutes setting discretionary fees, meet the exception to the FOAI fee waiver provision.
