PlaintiffShannon R. Hopson
Case DescriptionShannon Hopson requested records from the clerk of the Superior Court for San Diego County concerning his criminal case. While Hopson has requested government records and cites FOIA as the basis for his claim, he is not requesting records from a federal agency and is rather requesting records from a California state court. This may provide a cause of action under the California Public Records Act, but it does not provide a cause of action under the federal FOIA.
