Price v. Lilly, No. 19-701, 2020 WL 1065703 (D.D.C. Mar. 5, 2020) (Cooper, J.)

Re:  Plaintiff's Administrative Procedure Act ("APA") claim challenging defendants' "refusal to accept FOIA requests through its website or email as contrary to BOP policy"

Disposition:  Dismissing plaintiff's APA claim

  • Litigation Considerations:  The court relates that "[plaintiff's] claim is essentially that the agency failed to respond to a FOIA request that complied with the necessary procedures."  The court finds that "[plaintiff] may seek relief for the agency's lack of response under FOIA's review provision."  "Review of [plaintiff's] APA claim [is] thus precluded, [and] the Court will dismiss that claim."
