United States v. Blythe, No. 14-591, 2023 WL 317289 (D. Md. Jan. 19, 2023) (Bredar, C.J.) Re: Request for records concerning accounting of certain restitution payments
Date
United States v. Blythe, No. 14-591, 2023 WL 317289 (D. Md. Jan. 19, 2023) (Bredar, C.J.)
Re: Request for records concerning accounting of certain restitution payments
Disposition: Denying plaintiff’s motion for an accounting
- Litigation Considerations, Pleadings: The court finds that “[t]he few sentences [plaintiff] dedicates to explaining the status of her FOIA request are not enough to state a claim for relief.” “FOIA is not a shibboleth for parties to invoke in passing motion-practice; rather, the statute creates a cause of action properly raised in a complaint.” “[Plaintiff] may choose to file suit under FOIA, as is her statutory right.” “The Court may not circumvent that process by granting the request for relief in the present Motion.”
