Re: Legal, original documents lost by agency

Dear Inquirer:

You may wish to pursue either a Federal Tort Claim Action against the Passport agency, or file an action for Mandamus relief in the US District Court. The first may be appropriate to seek damages against the agency; the latter would be usesful to compel the agancy to search and locate the missing documentation. It may be that they have not searched as diligently as they claim.
