On complaint, the district court of the United States in the district in which the complainant resides, or has his principal place of business, or in the District of Columbia, has jurisdiction to enjoin the agency from withholding information contained in a final OLC opinion and to order the production of information improperly withheld from the complainant. In such a case the court shall determine the matter de novo, and may examine the contents of such OLC opinion in camera to determine whether such information or any part thereof shall be withheld under any of the exemptions set forth in section 613, and the burden is on the agency to sustain its action.
