Patel v. Cissna, No. 18-230, 2019 WL 3945659 (M.D. Ga. Aug. 20, 2019) (Land, C. J.)

Re:  Request for plaintiff's alien registration file, as well as records concerning U Visa processing

Disposition:  Denying defendant's motion to dismiss plaintiff's FOIA claim

• Litigation Considerations, Pleadings:  "[T]he Court finds Plaintiff alleges enough facts to avoid dismissal at this stage."  "Plaintiff alleged that he filed a FOIA request . . . for the entirety of his alien registration file with USCIS and information on USCIS's U Visa processing, . . . and that USCIS withheld those documents."  The court finds that "[t]hese allegations placed Defendants on notice of the nature of his claim."
