Kanam v. Office of Benton Peterson, No. 18-3149, 2019 WL 5806906 (D.D.C. Nov. 7, 2019) (Moss, J.)

Re:  Request for all documents published in Federal Register which support or refute various arguments Assistant United States Attorney made in motion to dismiss in another case

Disposition:  Granting defendant's motion to dismiss

• Litigation Considerations, Pleadings:  The court finds that "Plaintiff, failed to follow the 'published rules . . . and procedures' governing the submission of FOIA requests to the Department of Justice by mailing a FOIA request to an individual DOJ attorney."  "Accordingly, Plaintiff did not submit a request to which the agency was required to respond under FOIA, . . . and thus has failed to state a claim upon which relief can be granted."
