Sherven v. United States, No. 23-02977, 2023 WL 8190822 (D.D.C. Nov. 22, 2023) (Reyes, J.)

Re:  Plaintiff’s alleged FOIA requests against backdrop of his claims of “alleged mind-control program”

Disposition:  Dismissing plaintiff’s complaint without prejudice

  • Litigation Considerations, Pleadings:  The court holds that “Plaintiff's complaint does not contain sufficient facts to state a claim.”  “Plaintiff neither attaches a copy of the actual requests submitted nor references a FOIA or Privacy Act request number.”  “Indeed, the complaint is devoid of any details regarding these purported requests beyond the Plaintiff’s broad interest in exposing the federal government’s alleged mind-control program.”  “Absent this information, the complaint does not state a plausible claim.”
