OPINION
_________________________
The Cincinnati Enquirer sued the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) and the Drug
Enforcement Administration (“DEA”) under the Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”), 5
U.S.C. § 552, seeking documents related to a United States Attorney’s decision not to charge a
state prosecutor with obstruction of justice. The district court reviewed the relevant documents
in camera and held that they are exempt from disclosure. Based on our own in camera review,
we agree and affirm. |
