De Masi v. Lawshy, No. 13-923, 2014 WL 3893852 (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 6, 2014) (Briccetti, J.)

Re: Request for communication between Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and "'Bank of America, Country Wide Home Loans or anyone else'"

Disposition: Granting defendant's motion for summary judgment

• Litigation Considerations, Pleadings:  The court holds that "plaintiff's FOIA claim fails because he failed to name the CFPB as a defendant."  However, the court also finds that "plaintiff's FOIA claim fails on the merits," noting that "[t]he Court has carefully reviewed the declaration of the CFPB's FOIA Manager and finds the CFPB performed a reasonable search and its redactions were proper under Exemption 6."
