Amin v. Trump, No. 19-1572, 2020 WL 3498447 (D.D.C. June 29, 2020) (Jackson, J.)

Re:  Request for records concerning plaintiff's criminal complaint

Disposition:  Granting defendants' motion for summary judgment

• Litigation Considerations, Pleadings & Procedural Requirements, Proper FOIA Requests:  "The Court . . . will dismiss the 'named individual defendants because no cause of action exists that would entitle [Plaintiff] to relief from them under the . . . FOIA.'"  Additionally, the court finds that "[i]t is not enough that Plaintiff mailed a FOIA request to a federal government agency."  "He must show that he sent proper FOIA requests to BOP, EOUSA, OIP or USMS, and that these DOJ components actually received his requests."  "He fails to do so, and in contrast, defendants demonstrate that none received a FOIA request from plaintiff."
