Lackey v. United States Department of Agriculture, 384 Fed. Appx. 741 (10th Cir. 2010)

(plaintiff seeks sanction against defendant for failure to timely provide final agency determination in response to plaintiff's request for interpretation of agency policy and procedure by Risk Management Agency, a division of defendant; defendant did respond (after loss at subsequent administrative hearing), but sanctions not imposed because RMA's response was "response" within meaning of statute and regulations governing matter; court affirmed - agency's interpretation of it's own regulations entitled to deference).
