Tereshchuk v. BOP, No. 14-5278, 2015 WL 4072055 (D.C. Cir. June 29, 2015) (per curiam)

Re: Request for all BOP administrative remedies and responses after 2000

Disposition: Granting defendant's motion for summary affirmance

• Exemption 6:  The Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit holds that "appellee properly excluded the inmate names and register numbers from the indexes it released to appellant, pursuant to 28 C.F.R. § 542.19 (Bureau of Prison's (BOP) regulation) and 5 U.S.C. § 552(b)(6)."
   
• Procedural Requirements, Responding to FOIA Requests:  The court holds that "[t]he district court appropriately granted summary judgment because . . . the format of the indexes released to appellant was identical to the format in which they are maintained by the agency."
   
• Procedural Requirements, Proper FOIA Requests:  The court holds that "appellant's records request was properly dismissed because he failed to comply with the BOP regulation, 28 C.F.R. § 542.19, and thus failed to exhaust the requirement that a requester identify 'by Remedy ID number as indicated on an index' the records sought, rather than as appellant did by requesting 'all' administrative remedy responses."
