Question Presented (OCR Extract)

QUESTIONS PRESENTED 1. Whether, under the Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”), lower courts may disregard, violate or change the plain language of the judicial review provisions of the Administrative Procedure Act, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or Federal Rules of Evidence or Supreme Court precedent thereunder. 2. Whether, under FOIA, claims may be dismissed without any court expressly addressing the plain language of FOIA, the Constitution and Supreme Court precedent that was presented. 3. Whether, under FOIA, claims may be dismissed on the grounds that one record at issue also was at issue in earlier-instituted litigation in a different circuit. 4. Whether a judge’s clear violation of the Constitution, federal law or Supreme Court precedent must be corrected upon consideration of a timely motion requesting such correction. ii DIRECTLY
