MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AS TO MARION COUNTY

This matter is before the undersigned upon the petition for enforcement of administrative

subpoenas filed by the United States of America.

The Court has examined the administrative subpoena to Marion County in this case to

determine whether it is enforceable under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(d)(4) and United States v. Morton

Salt, 338 U.S. 632 (1950). The Court finds the administrative subpoena to Marion County is

valid and the information it requests is subject to production under § 1225(d)(4).

Under 8 U.S.C. § 1225(d)(4)(B), and based upon the petition and motion filed by Marion

County, and all the records herein, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:

1.The Petition to Enforce Administrative Subpoenas, ECF No. 1, is GRANTED as to

Marion County Respondents;

2.That Marion County Respondents comply with the administrative subpoenas within

seven (7) days of the date of this Order and produce responsive documents within their custody

and control. If the information and/or documents are not within their custody and control, Marion

County Respondents will serve on Petitioner an appropriate custodial declaration.

SO STIPULATED:
