Case DescriptionYohania Martin, a Redwood City resident taking courses at a local college campus, was charged for overdue books and a library laptop. She complained that the library's hours of operation kept changing and she was frequently unable to return the items on time. She eventually sued under the federal FOIA claiming the library had failed to provide her with its hours of operation and had invaded her privacy. There is no cause of action here under the federal FOIA.
