Re:  Request for plaintiff's VA claims file

Disposition:  Granting defendant's motion for summary judgment; denying plaintiff's motion for summary judgment

• Litigation Considerations, Mootness and Other Grounds for Dismissal: "[T]he Court, finding no evidence of agency bad faith, will grant summary judgment to defendant on its factually uncontested FOIA release."  The court notes that "[p]laintiff vehemently disagrees that his complaint is brought under the FOIA[,]" but notes that "[plaintiff's request] identifies both the FOIA and the Privacy Act as the bases of jurisdiction."
