This matter is before the Court on plaintiff 5 application to proceed in forma pauperis and

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
