United States Ninth Circuit

In an action seeking disclosure of tax-related documents from the IRS under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), the district court's grant of summary judgment in favor of the IRS is affirmed, where the documents sought were exempt from disclosure under 5 USC section 552(b)(3) as documents the disclosure of which would seriously impair federal tax administration, and under 5 USC section 552(b)(7)(A) as documents the disclosure of which could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings.
