Case DescriptionEdward Richardson, a former employee of the Federal Reserve, filed what he styled as a Privacy Act/Freedom of Information Act suit against the agency alleging that it had improperly disclosed information in violation of the Privacy Act. Although he refers to each claim as being brought under the Privacy Act/Freedom of Information Act, all his claims appear to relate to the Privacy Act and none of them state a claim under FOIA. As a result, this is not a FOIA suit.
