Case Title Clevenger v. U.S. Department Of Justice et al
District Eastern District of New York
City Brooklyn
Case Number 1:2018cv01568
Date Filed 2018-03-14
Date Closed Open
Judge Magistrate Judge Lois Bloom
Plaintiff Ty Clevenger
Case Description Ty Clevenger, an attorney, submitted FOIA requests to the Department of Justice and the FBI for records concerning Seth Rich, who was murdered in Washington DC in July 2016. The Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys told Clevenger it would not search for records without proof of Rich’s death. Clevenger filed an administrative appeal with the Office of Information Policy, which reversed EOUSA’s original denial. The FBI told Clevenger that it could find no records pertaining to Rich. Clevenger submitted a FOIA request to the National Security Agency for records concerning correspondence sent by the agency to Congress pertaining to Rich and others. The agency indicated it was processing Clevenger’s request, but after hearing nothing further for the NSA, Clevenger filed suit against all the agencies.
