PlaintiffThuan Huy Ha
Case DescriptionThuan Huy Ha submitted a FOIA request to the Department of Justice for billing records of eight pharmacy benefit management companies. Both the FBI and EOUSA responded with 40 pages of computer printouts that were missing a number of data fields. Huy Ha appealed to the Office of Information Policy, which upheld the agency's decision. Huy Ha then filed a second FOIA request for nine records that were part of the exhibitions from his trial. The agencies never responded and OIP rejected Huy Ha's appeal because EOUSA had taken no action yet. Huy Ha then filed suit.
