Case Detail

FOIA Project Annotation: A federal court in Wisconsin has ruled that the IRS has failed to show that Christian Ibeagwa's suit for his 2011 tax forms is moot because the agency had already provide Ibeagwa with all the responsive documents. The agency produced his 1040 Form, but claimed that it could not find a Form 4136 Ibeagwa contended he had filed as well. The court noted that "the declaration submitted by the disclosure specialist describes the steps she took to locate plaintiff's requested documents, but she does not explain why she chose to look where she did and whether there may be other places the documents could be found." The court added that "even with respect to the places defendant searched, it is not clear whether the search was reasonable. The disclosure specialist says in her declaration that the Federal Records Center did not attach a Form 4136 to the Form 1040X it sent, but the specialist does not say whether staff at the center attempted to locate the Form 4136 or, if they did, what efforts they made."
Issues: Litigation - Jurisdiction

FOIA Project Annotation: A federal court in Wisconsin has ruled that Christian Ibeagwa is not entitled to recover costs because his request to the IRS was to provide information in support of his tax dispute. Ibeagwa argued that the agency had disclosed his 2011 tax form after he filed suit. The IRS argued that Ibeagwa's receipt of the tax form was "insubstantial" for purposes of a fee award. But the court pointed out that "most courts construing the term 'insubstantial' in this provision have held that it relates to the merit of the plaintiff's claim not the number or percentage of documents that the agency chose to release voluntarily." The court agreed with Ibeagwa that the agency's failure to disclose the tax form until after he filed suit was evidence that its legal position was unreasonable. But the other three factors courts consider in assessing whether a plaintiff is entitled to fees weighed against Ibeagwa, particularly the fact that his request was largely for his personal interest. The court observed that "plaintiff has shown no benefit to the public provided by his FOIA request [and] he was seeking records for a private financial interest, namely, to assist him in a tax dispute with defendant. Under these circumstances, I conclude that an award of costs is not appropriate even if plaintiff was entitled to the document."
