Abdulkader v. Trump, No. 19-2199, 2020 WL 4530580 (D.D.C. Aug. 6, 2020) (Jackson, J.)

Re:  Request for records concerning plaintiff's criminal case

Disposition:  Granting defendants' motion to dismiss

• Litigation Considerations, Jurisdiction:  The court holds that "[a]part from suing the wrong defendants, plaintiff has not alleged facts from which the Court can find or reasonably infer that any federal agency has received a proper FOIA request, much less improperly withheld records in response."  The court explains that "Plaintiff does not state in the complaint when and where he submitted a FOIA request, and the form FOIA/PA request attached to the complaint is directed at no particular office, contains no mailing address, and has all of the boxes for designating an agency or agency component unchecked."
