Re:  Request for records concerning all new technology being installed in Sioux Falls

Disposition:  Dismissing plaintiff's FOIA complaint

  • Procedural Requirements, Agencies Subject to the FOIA:  The court finds that "[two individual and one company] Defendants . . . are not federal agencies or representatives for federal agencies, thus the FOIA does not apply to them."  Additionally, the court finds that, "[e]ven though The City of Sioux Falls, Inc. is not a named defendant, the FOIA does not apply to this organization either, [and, therefore,] [plaintiff's] FOIA claim against all defendants is dismissed . . . ."
