Stecz-Hunter v. Dep't of Educ., No. 19-00142, 2019 WL 5963875 (N.D. Tex. Nov. 13, 2019) (Pittman, J.)
Re: Request for complete copy of plaintiff's student loan consolidation promissory note
Disposition: Granting defendant's motion to dismiss
- Litigation Considerations, Adequacy of Search: The court holds that "[plaintiff] received a letter from DOE . . . which included a copy of her consolidated promissory note, thus fulfilling her FOIA request and DOE's FOIA obligations." "[Plaintiff] contends that her promissory note is incomplete because it does not include two pages she previously filled out which contained a list of outstanding loans." "However as previously stated, the promissory note itself clearly states that the note will not contain a list of the amounts owed." "Therefore, the Court finds that [plaintiff] failed to carry her burden of stating a claim for which the Court can grant relief."
