Re: Plaintiff's contention that EEOC violated FOIA by releasing plaintiff's EEOC file to a third party
Disposition: Granting defendant's motions to dismiss
- Litigation Considerations, Pleadings: The court finds that "[plaintiff's] complaint fails to state a claim under FOIA." "[Plaintiff] does not claim that the EEOC improperly withheld agency records; to the contrary, she readily admits that 'this case is not about improperly withheld Records, IT [sic] IS ABOUT IMPROPERLY DISCLOSED RECORDS BY EEOC.'" The court explains that "in order to state a claim under FOIA, a plaintiff must allege that an agency '(1) 'improperly'; (2) 'withheld'; (3) 'agency records.''"
