Volovets v. Trump, No. 20-5082, 2020 WL 7481328 (E.D.N.Y. Dec. 18, 2020) (Mauskopf, J.)

Re:  Request for records concerning Treaty between the United States of America and Ukraine Concerning the Encouragement and Reciprocal Protection of Investment

Disposition:  Dismissing plaintiff's case

Litigation Considerations, Pleadings:  The court holds that "[h]ere, [plaintiff] does not argue that any agency withheld records."  "Rather, he argues that the defendants have failed to answer his questions, . . . and have failed to intervene in his business troubles in Ukraine."  "As [plaintiff] has not alleged that any federal agency has violated his rights under FOIA, this Act does not provide a basis for the Court's subject matter jurisdiction over his complaint."
