United States DC Circuit

In an appeal from the District Court's order that certain IRS records were not discoverable under the Freedom of Information Act, the order is affirmed, where the materials sought fell under 5 U.S.C. 552(b)(7)(E)'s exemption from disclosure because their disclosure could risk circumvention of the law.
