Interdasting court case that came up in searching:
IRWIN MEMORIAL BLOOD BANK OF THE SAN FRANCISCO MEDICAL
SOCIETY, Appellant,
v.
AMERICAN NATIONAL RED CROSS, Appellee.
No. 79-4180.
United States Court of Appeals,
Ninth Circuit.
Argued and Submitted June 9, 1980.
Decided March 26, 1981.
Appellant Irwin initiated this action in the lower court pursuant to the provisions of the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552. It sought an order requiring disclosure by appellee Red Cross of certain financial information. Red Cross defended by asserting that it was not an "agency" of the Federal Government within the meaning of the FOIA. The controlling facts were not disputed, and cross-motions for summary judgment were made. Finding that Red Cross was not an "agency" as defined by 5 U.S.C. § 552(e), summary judgment was granted in favor of Red Cross, from which Irwin appeals. We affirm the lower court's decision.

Court of Appeal, First District, Division 4, California.
Paul OSBORN et al., Plaintiffs and Appellants, v. IRWIN MEMORIAL BLOOD BANK et al., Defendants and Appellants.
No. A044982.
Decided: April 08, 1992
In February of 1983, at the age of three weeks, Michael Osborn contracted the AIDS virus from a blood transfusion in the course of surgery on his heart at the University of California at San Francisco Medical Center. The blood used in the operation was supplied by the Irwin Memorial Blood Bank. Michael and his parents, Paul and Mary Osborn, sued Irwin and the University for damages on various theories. The only causes of action that survived defense motions for nonsuit and directed verdict were claims against Irwin for negligence, and intentional and negligent misrepresentation. After the jury returned a general verdict for plaintiffs, the court granted Irwin's motion for judgment notwithstanding the verdict on the intentional misrepresentation and negligence claims. Irwin was thus held liable only for a negligent misrepresentation.
