Crow v. IRS (D. Idaho) -- determining that IRS properly relied on Exemption 3 in conjunction with 26 U.S.C. § 6103(a) to withheld certain records concerning its investigation of plaintiff and rejecting plaintiff’s argument that instant FOIA action permitted IRS to release return information under section 6103(h)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code (authorizing release in “judicial or administrative proceeding pertaining to tax administration”).
Khullar v. Rosario (S.D. Fla.) -- finding that U.S Patent and Trademark Office performed reasonable search for disciplinary records concerning plaintiff; rejecting plaintiff’s arguments that agency’s declaration contained inadmissible hearsay, that USPTO's response to a prior FOIA request raised questions about agency’s search, and that USPTO's search was inadequate because it failed to yield three allegedly responsive documents.
