This lawsuit was filed in U. S. District Court For The Northern District of Mississippi (Oxford) on February 01, 2018. • It is a case about the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) unlawful refusal to provide vital information to a news reporter who is writing an urgent breaking news story regarding Animal Cruelty to Tennessee Walking Horses. The contumacious and unconscionable delay by the USDA has persisted 146 days since the news reporter made the request for the information under the Freedom Of Information Act on September 8, 2017. • The website publication for which the news reporter works has hundreds of thousands of readers. The USDA’s unlawful refusal to provide the requested information to the news reporter has impeded the reporter in his exercise of his First Amendment rights to timely inform his readers of important news they have a right to know, all in violation of the First Amendment to the U. S. Constitution, and the letter and intent of the Freedom Of Information Act (“FOIA”). • The Plaintiff should be provided the requested information because the Horse Protection Act violation charges against the Trainer, Mr. Bill Callaway, and Owners, Mr. Keith and Ms. Lorraine Rosbury of 2017 World Grand Champion Tennessee Walking Horse, “Gen’s Black Maverick” have been finally adjudicated by USDA Office of Administrative Law Judge “Consent Decision And Order/s” entered in HPA Docket #s 17-0169; 17-0172; and 17-0173, respectively, as evidenced by Exhibits “B“, “H“, and “I“ attached hereto. • The final adjudication of alleged Horse Protection Act violation charges brought against Trainer Mr. Bill Callaway, and Owners Mr. Keith Rosbury and Ms. Lorraine Rosbury, regarding the alleged “Soring” of 2017 World Grand Champion Tennessee Walking Horse “Gen’s Black Maverick” on August 27, 2016, are public records. By virtue of the these said three individuals entering into the three referenced Consent Decision And Orders which finally adjudicate the alleged Horse Protection Act violations against each of these individuals, there is no further right of privacy, if there ever was one, by which the Defendant USDA can refuse to provide the documents requested by this news reporter under the Freedom Of Information Act so the news reporter is able to completely inform the public of this historically important news regarding Animal Cruelty to Tennessee Walking Horses. • The BillyGoBoy.Com website publication covers the issue of Animal Cruelty to Tennessee Walking Horses (“Big Lick”) with a national and international readership. The significant public interest and its right to know, and the intent of the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), to allow news reporters to have access to public information in order to accurately report the news, are being unlawfully thwarted and obstructed by APHIS’s delay and refusal to provide the information that Plaintiff requested under “FOIA” on September 8, 2017. • The Publisher of the BillyGoBoy.Com website publication asks the U. S. District Court Judge to: • (1) Order Defendant to provide access to the requested documents; • (2) Expedite this proceeding as provided for in 28 U.S.C. § 1657; • (3) Award Plaintiff costs and reasonable attorney’s fees in this action, as provided in 5 U.S.C. § 552(a)(4)(E); and • (4) Grant such other and further relief as may deem just and proper.
