MEMORANDUM OPINION
This matter is before the Court on plaintiff 5 application to proceed in forma pauperis and
her pro se civil complaint. The application will be granted, and the complaint will be dismissed.
Plaintiff purports to bring a claim under the Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”), see 5
U.S.C. § 552, against the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, a component of the government of
the United Kingdom. “NO cause of action lies under FOIA against a foreign government
[because] FOIA applies only to agencies of the executive branch of the United States
government.” Moore v. United Kingdom, 384 F.3d 1079, 1089 (9th Cir. 2004) (footnote and
citations omitted). The complaint therefore will be dismissed. An Order is issued separately.
