Court Opinions (2015-2023)Allan BlutsteinComment

Donato v. EOUSA (D.D.C.) -- denying plaintiff’s motion to reconsider court’s decision that FBI properly relied on Exemption 7(C) in confirming to confirm or deny existence of records about investigation of third party.

Parker v. U.S. Probation Office (S.D. Cal.) -- dismissing complaint against U.S. Probation Office and federal probation officers because all are arms of the federal court and therefore not agencies subject to FOIA.

Homes-Hamilton v. FBI (D. Md.) -- ordering claims to be transferred to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia because one of three plaintiffs did not reside or have principal place of business in Maryland and judicial efficiency warranted all claims remaining together.
