In the United States District Court for the District of West Virginia, Jeffrey Mills has filed a lawsuit against the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) and Criminal Justice Information Services (CJIS). The case ID is 1:24-cv-00044-TSK-MJA and it was filed on April 29, 2024. The plaintiff accuses the defendants of violating the Privacy Act of 1974 and the Administrative Procedure Act, resulting in significant ongoing harm to him.
Mills submitted a formal request for correction of records to NCIC and CJIS on January 2, 2024, under the Privacy Act of 1974. Despite statutory requirements, he alleges that the defendants failed to respond or correct inaccuracies in his records. These inaccuracies have reportedly impaired his ability to live productively and pursue professional opportunities, causing harm to his employment prospects.
The plaintiff submitted a formal request for correction of records to NCIC and CJIS pursuant to the Privacy Act of 1974 which mandates the agency must acknowledge receipt within 10 days and correct inaccuracies within 30 days. The defendants failed to respond to the plaintiffs request.
The plaintiff seeks declaratory and injunctive relief due to defendants' failure to comply with the Privacy Act. He requests a declaration that defendants' failure to respond to his records correction request is improper. Furthermore, he seeks an injunction compelling defendants to answer his records challenge and cease disbursement of information adversely impacting him.
