Former Bond Fund Manager Sues U.S. Treasury

A former MFS Investment Management bond fund manager has sued the U.S. Treasury to obtain access to their files that he says is critical to his defense in a case the Securities and Exchange Commission has brought against him, The Patriot Ledger reports. Steven Nothern filed the suit, claiming that under the Freedom of Information Act, he should have access to the documents.

Nothern sued the agency already, in February, asking a judge to order the Treasury to allow him to depose five of their officials.
