HENDERSON, District Judge:
Edward Spannaus appeals from a district court order granting summary judgment to the United States Department of Justice (“the Government”) in a suit brought by Spannaus to obtain information from Federal Bureau of Investigation (“FBI”) files under the Freedom of Information Act (“FOIA”), 5 U.S.C. § 552 (1982 & Supp. III 1985). Because we conclude there is an adequate factual basis for the district court’s determination and the decision reached is not clearly erroneous, we affirm.
