Anyone know why Ed P. has hearings before the FOIC today (2/3/14)?

I have like 1/2 dozen waiting against DESPP ... some they would not move forward with a verbal request to inspect (which is a good FOIA request) because they demanded it to be in writing. Amazing agency.

Here's a section of an email I got on the 21st of Jan about them taking 4 1/2 months to give me their excel file of the FOIA requests they received for a 1 yr time period that I complained about promptness:

Regarding promptness, the agency received 1,050 FOIA requests in 2013 at the same time that the Legal Affairs Unit was called upon to provide extensive legal services to approximately 1,600 employees. I would submit that 4.5 months is not excessive for our department, unfortunately. (Ainsworth)

Wondering what records he is seeking...

I see that they are hearing 2013-400's now ... seems like they are pushing back my cases .. I have about 7 in the 200's pending .. or they'll decide not to hear..maybe awaiting the outcome of the court case.
