Note that because there can be delays between the date a decision is made and when it shows up on PACER, this listing includes only decisions that appeared on PACER during this period.

    Brian David Hill v. Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys and U.S. Department of Justice

    CIVIL DOCKET FOR CASE #: 4:17-cv-00027-JLK

    https://archive.org/details/HillvEOUSA – All documents are there for free. You can also access them on PACER.

    Please add to your site. I hope you can do this. This FOIA case may set a precedent for possibly innocent criminal defendants that are being deprived of their Brady rights and forced into guilty pleas, using the FOIA to compel the U.S. Attorney to release all discovery evidence material pertinent to a criminal defendant. If it goes up to the U.S. Supreme Court and succeeds, then all criminal defendants can use FOIA to fight for their discovery packets in cases where court appointed lawyers work against them.
