A FOIA lawsuit against the Department of Energy has been dismissed because the plaintiff has not paid the fees associated with the request, nor is he entitled to a fee waiver. These are the reasons given by U.S. District Court Judge Richard J. Leon in dismissing an action against the Department of Energy. Indigency alone is not a reason for a fee waiver, and as to the fact that the documents may be in the public interest, the plaintiff could not show that he had any means to disseminate the documents. Thus, the case was tossed out.
