Michael Rimmer v. Eric Holder, Jr.

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that, because the district court has authority under the FOIA to order “production of the unredacted documents[plaintiff] seeks,” the FOIA “clearly provides an alternate adequate remedy in court and thus triggers § 704's bar on claims brought under the APA”
• explaining that FOIA is not a substitute for the normal process of discovery in criminal cases
• explaining that a requester must present “more than bare allegations of federal malfeasance” to establish a sufficient public interest
• rejecting APA claim for FOIA violation because FOIA’s statutory scheme provides adequate remedy
• affirming summary judgment dismissing a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) claim, noting that “both the FBI and the individuals calling the Crime Stoppers hotline intended that the callers’ identities remain undisclosed at the time of the calls”
• “FOIA provided Rimmer with an ad- equate remedy in court, and thus Rimmer’s APA claim is barred by 5 U.S.C. § 704.”
