Filing 7
TEXT ORDER: to the extent that Plaintiff's Letter #6 is construed as a motion for reconsideration, that motion is DENIED. There is nothing in [28 U.S.C. 1391(e)] or its legislative history which suggests that Congress... sought to allow a federal agency to be sued... wherever it may maintain an office. To the contrary, the wording of the statute itself precludes such an expansive reading. Davies Precision Machining Inc. v. Defense Logistics Agency, 825 F. Supp. 105, 107 (E.D. Pa. 1993) (citing Reuben H. Donnelley Corp. v. Fed. Trade Comm'n, 580 F.2d 264, 267 (7th Cir. 1978)). "Venue is not proper merely because a federal agency maintains a regional office in a district." Schwarz v. I.R.S., 998 F. Supp. 201, 203 (N.D.N.Y. 1998) (Scullin, J.) (citing Davies, 825 F. Supp. at 107; Hartke v. Fed. Aviation Admin., 369 F. Supp. 741, 746 (E.D.N.Y. 1973) (resides for purposes of 1391(e) shall not be construed to include every district where a subordinate of an agency has an office)). "Since the offices of the IRS in the Northern District of New York are not alleged to have engaged in any substantial part of the activity complained of in Plaintiff's complaint,... venue, as determined by 28 U.S.C. 1391(e) is improper in this district." Schwarz, 998 F. Supp. at 203. SO ORDERED by Magistrate Judge Miroslav Lovric on 7/6/2022. (copy served on Plaintiff via regular mail) (jdp )
