Re: Request for records concerning petitioner

Disposition: Denying petitioner's petition for writ of mandamus

• Litigation Considerations, Jurisdiction:  The Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit holds "that the petition for writ of mandamus be denied" because "it appears that the Eastern District of North Carolina has jurisdiction over petitioner's Freedom of Information Act claims, . . . and the district court did not otherwise grossly abuse its discretion in transferring appellant's complaint to a judicial district where 'a substantial part of the events or omissions giving rise to the claim occurred.'"
