Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled that John Pawelski failed to challenge any of the responses to his FOIA requests for records about himself and his criminal case and, thus, failed to exhaust administrative remedies. Dismissing the case, Jackson noted that "Defendants demonstrate that plaintiff did not pursue administrative appeals of the determinations of the FBI, the EOUSA, the DEA, and the IRS, and that he failed to pay the fees assessed by the [Treasury Deparment's Inspector General]. Thus, plaintiff failed to exhaust his administrative remedies."
