Re:  Request for surveillance records concerning requester

Disposition:  Denying requester's motion for mandamus relief

  • Litigation Considerations:  The Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit relates that "[the requester] asserts that the Drug Enforcement Administration has failed to comply with the statutory timeline for responding to his request for records."  The court holds that, "[b]ecause petitioner has an adequate remedy available in the district court, mandamus relief is inappropriate."
