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."
