Carroll v. Office of Fed. Contract Compliance Programs, No. 17-5157, 2018 U.S. App. LEXIS 1817 (D.C. Cir. Jan. 22, 2018) (per curiam)

Re:  Request for certain communications between government and requester's former employer

Disposition:  Granting government's motion for summary affirmance

• Litigation Considerations, Exhaustion of Administrative Remedies:  The Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit holds that "the district court properly dismissed [the requester's] claim under the Freedom of Information Act . . . for failure to state a claim upon which relief could be granted."  The district court previously held that "[b]ecause [plaintiff] cannot seek judicial redress . . . before exhausting his administrative remedies, the claim must be dismissed."
