Re:  Request for plaintiff’s medical discharge summary

Disposition:  Dismissing plaintiff’s claim with prejudice

  • Procedural Requirements, Entities Subject to the FOIA:  The court relates that “[plaintiff] does not seek information from a federal agency; he requested a copy of his medical discharge summary from [the South Dakota State Penitentiary].”  “Thus, [plaintiff’s] claim against defendants under FOIA fails to state a claim upon which relief may be granted.”
