The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) (MCL 15.231 et seq.); Federated Publ’ns, Inc. v. Lansing; Mootness

In an order in lieu of granting leave to appeal, the court vacated as moot Part III of the Court of Appeals published opinion (see e-Journal # 63021 in the 6/27/16 edition) and remanded the case to the trial court for dismissal of the plaintiff’s FOIA claims. It denied leave to appeal in all other respects because it was not persuaded that it should review the remaining question presented. “Thus, the award of attorney fees, costs, and disbursements remains vacated.”
