PlaintiffCraig Scott Rosebraugh
Case DescriptionCraig Rosebraugh submitted a FOIA request to the FBI for records about himself. The agency located 4,826 pages of potentially responsive records and told Rosebraugh that he would need to pay $145 for duplication on to a CD. He agreed to pay the fees. The FBI then told him that his request would be assigned to the large-track backlog. He appealed that decision to the Office of Information Policy. OIP told Rosebraugh that it would not consider his appeal because the FBI had not yet made an adverse determination. Rosebraugh then filed suit.
