Re: Request for qualifications of several individuals involved in plaintiff's criminal case

Disposition: Dismissing plaintiff's case

• Procedural Requirements, Entities Subject to the FOIA & Litigation Considerations, Exhaustion of Administrative Remedies:  The court holds that, "to receive documents under FOIA, a party must present his or her claim to the appropriate government agency."  "Petitioner has not done so."  Instead, the court relates that "[plaintiff] maintains that she sent a FOIA letter to this Court."  "Therefore, her FOIA claims are frivolous."
