Re:  Request for plaintiff’s disability record

Disposition:  Screening complaint; ordering defendant to respond

  • Litigation Considerations, Pleadings:  The court relates that “plaintiff filed his federal complaint in this case on April 10, 2023, alleging that the defendant has not responded to his FOIA request.”  “The plaintiff’s FOIA request is dated December 1, 2022.”  “Accepting the plaintiff’s allegations as true, he has pleaded facts to show that more than ten days passed without a response from the defendant.”  “For purposes of this screening order, the court finds that the plaintiff has sufficiently stated a claim for relief under FOIA, because he has named a defendant that falls within the statutory scope of FOIA and has alleged facts showing he constructively exhausted his administrative remedies.”
