Mobley v. U.S. Gov't, No. 19-116, 2020 WL 2089249 (S.D. Ga. Apr. 30, 2020) (Wood, J.)

Re:  Requests for certain tax information

Disposition:  Granting defendant's motion to dismiss

  • Litigation Considerations, Relief:  The court relates that "Petitioners seek a Writ of Mandamus requiring Respondents to submit adequate responses to their FOIA requests."  "However, the relief they seek is not available via a Writ of Mandamus because other remedies are available to Petitioners."  "In this case, FOIA itself offers a remedy to Petitioners' alleged injury."  "Because Petitioners can seek relief under FOIA, they have failed to show that 'no other adequate remedy [is] available, . . . and the Court therefore cannot issue relief via mandamus."
