Corbett v. Transp. Sec. Admin. (9th Cir.) -- vacating district court’s decision and holding that a requester is not required to file an administrative appeal when an agency issues a response after requester has properly filed a lawsuit, following the reasoning of the Fourth Circuit’s 1995 decision in Pollack v. DOJ.

McCarthy v. DOJ (S.D.N.Y.) -- transferring case to the Eastern District of New York because pro se plaintiff’s residence and the requested records are both in that district, thus making the Southern District of New York an improper venue for her FOIA claim under 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(4)(B).
