Hobson v. Wilson, 737 F.2d 1 (D.C. Cir. 1984) (full-text).

Trial Court Proceedings
The Circuit Court for the District of Columbia found expungement to be a proper remedy for ensuring First Amendment protection when personal information was collected and maintained in FBI records in violation of the Privacy Act of 1974, notwithstanding the FBI's argument that it needed to retain the records for present and future litigation defense purposes.
