United States Tenth Circuit

In a Freedom of Information Act action seeking FBI records regarding certain investigations, the District Court's order allowing the depositions of certain inmates is reversed where the FBI submitted declarations that provided a consistent and uncontradicted showing that it conducted an adequate search for the records requested by Plaintiff, and there was no reason why the depositions might yield additional documents.
