Glennborough Homeowners Ass'n v. USPS (E.D. Mich.) -- dismissing FOIA claim for lack of subject matter jurisdiction because requests were submitted by another party and made no reference to plaintiff.
Mich. Immigrant Rights Ctr. v. DHS (E.D. Mich.) -- finding that plaintiff was eligible and entitled to attorney’s fees and costs in case concerning records of agency searches and seizures in Michigan, but requiring parties to confer on recoverable amount based on court’s conclusion that certainly hourly rates and billing entries were improper.
Shapiro v. SSA (D. Vt.) -- ruling that: (1) plaintiff’s clarified request was unreasonably broad and burdensome because it contained no time limitations or custodian limitations (among other things) and implicated approximately 1.5 million responsive pages, which would take the agency at least 193,211 hours of work to process; (2) agency improperly charged fees for its untimely initial response; and (3) plaintiff’s request for costs was “a close call” and could not be adjudicated until agency justified its withholdings in connection with its initial response.
