Re: Plaintiff’s FOIA requests

Disposition:  Dismissing plaintiff’s case

• Litigation Considerations, Pleadings:      The court relates that “[t]his matter was filed on April 29, 2025.”  “Upon review, on May 9, 2025, the court issued an order . . . finding that plaintiff’s pro se complaint was difficult to discern and failed to comply with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a).”  “[T]he court provided plaintiff with 30 days to file an amended complaint . . . identifying the specific FOIA requests at issue, and listing the full name and address of each defendant.”  “Although some copies of plaintiff’s FOIA requests appear to have been peppered into his flood of exhibits, . . . it is unmanageable to ascertain what specifically plaintiff is challenging as to those requests, if anything, in light of the overbroad allegations presented, or in the context of the countless other submissions he has filed.”      “In other words, any FOIA claims are deeply conflated with plaintiff's myriad other grievances.”      “‘While [ ] a pro se litigant must of course be given fair and equal treatment, he cannot generally be permitted to shift the burden of litigating his case to the courts[.]’”  “[T]his case is dismissed without prejudice.”
