Coleman v. Brand, 2014 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 88214 (D.D.C. June 23, 2014) (Boasberg, J.)

Re: Request to compel DNA testing

Disposition: Dismissing plaintiff's complaint

• Litigation Considerations:  The court finds that "plaintiff has not alleged that he made a FOIA request to a federal agency, and he cannot obtain the requested relief to compel DNA testing at the government's expense of 'the blood on the gun ... and [] fingerprinting,' . . . under the FOIA."  Additionally, the court finds that although "[t]his action is captioned 'Federal Freedom of Information Act Complaint,' . . . plaintiff names individuals in Salem, Missouri, who are not subject to suit under the FOIA."
