Latham v. U.S. Department of Justice

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that request for “any records you may have that pertain in any form or sort to” the requester was not reasonably described
• awarding summary judgment to agency based on plaintiff’s failure to exhaust administrative remedies where his “FOIA request does not reasonably describe the records sought and, therefore, is not a proper FOIA request”
• plaintiff’s request for records pertaining “in any form or sort” to plaintiff was overly broad and burdensome
• “Plaintiff has complied substantially with the requirement that he certify his identity, and the content of his certification alone is not a sufficient basis on which to outright reject his FOIA request.”
