Re: Requests for copies of local district office of EEOC's compliance manuals and DOJ's policies and procedures

Disposition: Adopting Magistrate Judge's Report and Recommendation; dismissing plaintiff's complaint without prejudice

• Litigation Considerations, Pleadings:  The court dismisses plaintiff's complaint without prejudice.  The court agrees with the Magistrate Judge's "determin[ation] that in most respects Plaintiff's pleading failed to intelligibly provide Defendants with notice of his claims in proper form, as dictated by Fed. R. Civ. P. 8(a)."  Additionally, the court finds that "[t]he law clearly provides that FOIA actions may only be maintained against agencies" and, "[t]herefore, the Magistrate Judge has correctly recommended that the case be dismissed for failure to state a claim."
