EEO-1 Report FOIA Litigation Update

U.S. DOL Appeals and Seeks Stay of EEO-1 Report Release

The federal District Court for the Northern District of California ordered OFCCP to release, by February 20, 2024, the withheld Consolidated EEO-1 Reports of federal contractors for the years 2016 through 2020 that were the subject of a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by the Center for Investigative Reporting.


Our firm has learned that the U.S. Department of Labor today has appealed the district court’s decision, and that it will soon seek a stay of the release of EEO-1 Reports during the appeal.


We expect the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals will grant a stay of the release of the EEO-1 Reports pending the appeal.



Silberman Law will monitor the developments in this case and will provide an update as soon as possible.
