MEMORANDUM OPINION

FLANNERY, District Judge.

Mark Allen, a researcher into the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, has filed for an interim award of attorney's fees in this Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA") case. Because the plaintiff is both "entitled" to and "eligible" for such an award in the first phase of this case and such an award is consistent with the public policy of FOIA, the court grants the plaintiff's motion.1
