PlaintiffSARA DISCEPOLO
Case DescriptionSara Discepolo submitted a FOIA request to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Connecticut for complaints she filed in 2000. She submitted a second FOIA request to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts for records about herself. The Executive Office for U.S. Attorney's responded to both requests by indicating that no records were found. She appealed the decisions to the Office of Information Policy, which upheld the no records response from the U.S. Attorney's Office in Connecticut. Discepolo claimed the Justice Department did not specifically respond to the denial of her request to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Massachusetts. She filed suit on both claims.

Taylor v. Babbit, 673 F.Supp.2d 20, 23 (D.D.C. 2009). Accordingly, plaintiff's request for discovery is premature. Signed by Judge Emmet G. Sullivan on 4/21/2017. (lcegs2) (Entered: 04/21/2017)
