Re: Possible request for records concerning plaintiff

Disposition: Accepting Magistrate Judge's report and recommendation; dismissing complaint

• Procedural Requirements, Entities Subject to the FOIA: The court finds that "[p]laintiff has not objected to the Magistrate Judge's determination that his FOIA claim should be denied because FOIA does not apply to states, state agencies, or state officers, such as [d]efendants." "The court perceives no clear error in the Magistrate Judge's determination, and concludes that the FOIA claim should be summarily dismissed on this basis."
