[PUBLISHED] [Bright, Author, with Loken and Shepherd, Circuit Judges]
Civil Case - Freedom of Information Act. District court's order of
disclosure of details of DEA report of information provided by
confidential informant who had assurance of confidentiality is reversed,

is protected under exemption 7(C) because privacy interest outweighed
public interest in disclosure.
