Tovar v. DOJ (D.D.C.) -- dismissing plaintiff’s claim against the Drug Enforcement Administration for access to records about himself on the ground that he failed to appeal the DEA’s denial before filing suit; rejecting as irrelevant the plaintiff’s argument that the DEA’s final response was untimely, as the agency cured any delay by issuing a final determination before the lawsuit was filed.
