   U.S. Court of Appeals Case No:  17-1346
   U.S. District Court for the District of South Dakota - Sioux Falls   
   [PUBLISHED] [Kelly, Author, with Gruender and Beam, Circuit Judges] 
   Civil case - FOIA. For the court's prior opinion in the matter, see Argus 
   Leader Media v. U.S. Dep't of Agric., 740 F.3d 1172 (8th Cir. 2014), which 
   held that Exemption 3 did not apply to the contested data concerning SNAP 
   redemption information; on remand, the issue was whether Exemption 4 
   covering trade secrets and commercial or financial information obtained 
   from a person and privileged and confidential applied to prevent release 
   of the data; the court's finding that Exemption 4 did not apply because 
   the USDA's claim that release of the information would cause competitive 
   injury among the covered grocery retailers was speculative is affirmed; 
   the record established the retailers already had access to large 
   quantities of data about their competitors and existing models which 
   explained consumer behavior.
