Pinson v. DOJ, No. 12-1872, 2014 WL 4724352 (D.D.C. Sept. 24, 2014) (Contreras, J.)

Re: Request for certain records concerning plaintiff, BOP, and Congress

Disposition: Denying as moot defendant's motion for summary judgment as plaintiff's 2009 and 2010 FOIA requests; granting defendant's motion for summary judgment as to plaintiff's 2011 FOIA request

• Litigation Considerations, Pleadings:  The court holds that "[plaintiff's] exclusion of the 2009 and 2010 FOIA requests from the Corrected Second Amended Complaint results in those requests no longer being a part of this action as a matter of law."  "Accordingly, the Court denies as moot the DOJ's motion for summary judgment as to the 2009 and 2010 FOIA claims."
   
• Procedural Requirements, Proper FOIA Requests:  "[T]he Court grants summary judgment in favor of the DOJ on this claim."  The court explains that "[h]ere, as in the cases cited above, the agency offers a declaration attesting that it has no record of receiving [plaintiff's] 2011 FOIA request."  "Further, [plaintiff] offers no contradictory evidence even hinting at the fact that the CRD actually did receive this request."
