Barry, Jr. v. Koskinen, No. 18-14276, 2019 WL 4297796 (D.N.J. Sept. 11, 2019) (Martinotti, J.)

Re:  Request for "'oaths, qualifications and bonds of all agents, alleging to work for the Government making false claims against [plaintiff]'"

Disposition:  Granting defendant's motion to dismiss

• Litigation Considerations, Exhaustion of Administrative Remedies:  The court relates that "the Complaint alleges [plaintiff] sent a FOIA request to the IRS, which was denied."  "He does not, however, allege whether he appealed that denial."  The court finds that "[a] requesting individual must appeal an adverse determination to the head of the agency before filing suit in federal court."
