Here are the two decisions made by the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit on the appeals concerning emergency loan information sought by Fox News and Bloomberg.
The First is the decision on the appeal brought by the government on the lower court decision that it must disclose information sought by Bloomberg. The court held that the information is not protected pursuant to FOIA exemption 4 under any theory brought by the government.
The Second is the decision by the Court on the appeal brought by Fox, that doesn't include the issues encompassed by the Bloomberg decision. This centered on whether the 12 Federal Reserve Banks are subject to the FOIA, and whether the documents sought by Fox (and not Bloomberg) are contained within the types of records that are indeed subject to FOIA and created initially by the individual Federal Reserve Banks.
