Common Cause v. Nuclear Regulatory Commission

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) closed three budget-discussion meetings to the public, relying on Sunshine Act exemptions covering premature disclosure that would frustrate agency action, internal personnel matters, and personal privacy; Common Cause (plaintiff) objected and sought to open the meetings, and the district court agreed and ordered the meetings opened, though the court of appeals granted a partial stay pending this appeal while requiring the NRC to produce transcripts.
