Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: Judge Randolph Moss has ruled that Carol Scarlett may not amend her FOIA request to the National Science Foundation to include the agency's Inspector General because she failed to show any reason why she had not included the IG in her original complaint and that if she now thought the IG had records relevant to her original request, she could file a separate FOIA request to the IG for such records. Scarlett owned a small business that had contracted to do work with the NSF. However, when she applied for the second phase of work, her application was denied. Scarlett filed a FOIA request to find out the reasons for the denial. She specifically asked for a complaint she discovered had been lodged against her with OIG alleging unknown wrongdoing on her part. OIG refused to provide any information except for the date of the complaint. After filing an unsuccessful administrative appeal, Scarlett filed suit against the OIG at NSF. Scarlett sought leave to amend her complaint to add a claim of breach of contract, which the agency opposed. Moss agreed that Scarlett should not be allowed to amend her complaint. He noted that "this is because the new claims that Plaintiff seeks to add to this action, which has been pending for almost nine months, 'bear no more than a tangential relationship to the original action,' and would substantially 'alter the scope and nature of the litigation.'" He pointed out that "plaintiff's original complaint alleges that OIG violated its obligations under FOIA by failing adequately to respond to her FOIA request for the complaint filed against her." He indicated that "the proposed amended complaint, in contrast, includes allegations that have nothing to do with the adequacy of OIG's search or the propriety of its withholdings. Instead, Plaintiff now seeks to add allegations that NSF 'made reckless and false claims against her business financial practices,' and that NSF officials violated their own policies as part of the grant review process." Noting that this changed the nature of the litigation, he observed that "indeed, Plaintiff's proposed amendments would invite discovery in a case otherwise subject to resolution without discovery." He pointed out that "there is no reason, moreover, why FOIA plaintiffs who receive records that, in their review, support unrelated claims cannot simply bring a new lawsuit asserting those claims. Neither efficiency nor fairness counsels in favor of combing FOIA litigation with litigation of unrelated claims, even if records released pursuant to the FOIA request might support those claims."

2022-10-07		MINUTE ORDER: Before the Court is Defendant's motion to strike Plaintiff's reply, Dkt. 48 . This reply, Dkt. 47 , comes at the tail end of a series of motions, responses, and replies between these two parties. Plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgment on March 7, 2022, Dkt. 35 , to which the government responded, Dkt. 36 . Plaintiff then filed a reply, Dkt. 38 , as well as an amended motion for summary judgment, Dkt. 43 , which (in Plaintiff's own words) "respond[ed] to Defendant's Objections to Plaintiff's Cross-Motion for Summary Judgment," id. at 1. To bring briefing to a close, the Court permitted Plaintiff to file that "amended cross-motion" and allowed Defendants the opportunity to file a final response to any new arguments raised in what was, in effect, a second reply brief. The Court instructed, however, that "no further amendments to the pending motions for summary judgment, responses, or replies [would] be permitted by the Court." See Min. Order (Aug. 18, 2022). Plaintiff has since filed yet another reply (her third), Dkt. 47 , notwithstanding the Court's instruction and the fact that she has had more than ample opportunity to present her arguments to the Court. Briefing must, at this point, come to a close. It is accordingly ORDERED that Defendant's motion to strike, Dkt. 48 , is GRANTED, and that Plaintiff's reply, Dkt. 47 , shall be struck.
