Edmond v. U.S., No. 18-5366, 2019 U.S. App. LEXIS 11494 (D.C. Cir. Apr. 17, 2019) (per curiam)

Re:  Request for Postal Service investigatory file concerning requester

Disposition:  Granting government's motion for summary affirmance

• Litigation Considerations:  The Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit holds that "[t]he district court correctly determined that appellant's request failed to reasonably describe what records were being requested."  "In any event, the Postal Service, which explained that it does not maintain a central database for investigative files, reached out to the U.S. Postal Inspection Service and asked if it had records responsive to plaintiff's request, which it did not."
