Re:  Request for records concerning plaintiff's criminal conviction

Disposition:  Dismissing plaintiff's case

• Procedural Requirements, Agency Records:  "[T]he Court finds that plaintiff has stated no viable claim under the FOIA."  The court holds that "plaintiff alleges that he requested documents from a federal court,"  "[b]ut the FOIA 'adopts the definition of agency contained in 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(1)(B), which specifically excludes from its coverage "the courts of the United States."'"
