I'm not a trained lawyer... I was trying to boil down the Brady arguments and offer some background.
I still would like to see the Justice Department's response to this lawsuit ... one of the Brady news releases stated the DoJ had responded.

Um...a plaintiff generally doesn't get discovery in an APA case. The Olenhaus case out of the 10th Circuit is the best discussion of that issue I've seen: APA cases follow the FRAP process, there is none of the usual FRCP pre-trial folderol (including discovery), and the review is on the Admin Record. I don't know of any D.C. Circuit case law that is that clearly on point, but I seem to recall that they follow a similar practice there.
