Biear v. U.S. DOJ Eric Holder, No. 14-1488, 2024 WL 2805127 (M.D. Pa. May 31, 2024) (Mariani, J.)

Re:  Requests for records concerning plaintiff

Disposition:  Denying plaintiff’s motion to reopen case

• Litigation Considerations:  The court holds that “[t]he record is clear that Plaintiff was provided with all documents required by Court Order as of April 4, 2024.”  “The Court has also determined that Plaintiff presents no cognizable basis to reopen this case.”  The court finds that “Plaintiff presents no basis to conclude that wrongdoing occurred related to the release of required documents.”  The court also “declines [plaintiff’s] request to join a matter related to EOUSA FOIA requests . . . to the above-captioned matter” and finds that that attempt “does not present a basis to reopen this case.”  Regarding plaintiff’s allegations that “‘defendant(s) have violated FOIA repeatedly, and continue to do so,’” the court holds that “Plaintiff’s beliefs regarding FOIA violations are not supported by specific allegations and such violations are not supported by the facts of the case.”
