Plaintiff-Appellant,

U.S. DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE,
U.S. MARSHALS SERVICE,
Defendants-Appellees.

Appeal from the United States District Court
for the Southern District of Florida
_________________________
(March 11, 2011)
Before TJOFLAT, BARKETT and FAY, Circuit Judges.
PER CURIAM:

-- 1 of 10 --

Appellant, a freelance reporter, appeals the denial of his request for “mug shots”
of Luis Giro, an individual convicted of securities fraud. The United States Marshals
Service denied this request by asserting Exemption 7(C) of the Freedom of
Information Act, 5. U.S.C. § 552(b)(7)(C). The ORDER GRANTING
DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT entered by the district
court on December 14, 2009, is a comprehensive and scholarly discussion of the
issues and law surrounding this request and we hereby adopt it and attach it to this
opinion. We take note of the opinion in Detroit Free Press v. Department of Justice,
73 F.3d 93 (6 th Cir. 1996) and respectfully reject its holding.
AFFIRMED.
