Re: Request for variety of FBI records
Disposition: Transferring case to District Court for the Eastern District of New York
- Litigation Considerations, Venue: "[T]he Court transfers the action to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York." "Plaintiff alleges that he resides in Brooklyn, Kings County, and that on June 22, 2021, he requested records from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), but the FBI has yet to respond." "Because Plaintiff does not reside in a county within this district . . . and it is unclear the location of any agency records, the Court concludes that the district in which Plaintiff resides is a proper venue for this action."
