DOJ (3rd Cir.) -- reversing district court’s decision and finding that: (1) plaintiff’s request to Criminal Division for records containing his name was reasonably specific even though he did not identify the specific office where records were likely to be located; (2) plaintiff was not required to administratively appeal withholdings made by FBI after plaintiff commenced his lawsuit and district court should have maintained jurisdiction over case instead of dismissing it as moot.
