United States of America, Plaintiff-appellant, v. Eugene Ray Clegg, Defendant-appellee, 846 F.2d 1221 (9th Cir. 1988)
Eugene Ray Clegg is charged with exporting firearms in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 922(a) (1) (1982) and 22 U.S.C. § 2778(b) (2), (c) (1982). During pretrial proceedings, Clegg requested the government to produce documents that allegedly contained information of his activities. The government opposed the motion, asserting that the information sought was not material to any valid defense and that such documents would likely be subject to the Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA), 18 U.S.C. App. III, Secs. 1-16 (1982). The government submitted classified and unclassified documents to the district court for in camera inspection to establish that the documents were not material to a defense. The district court ruled the classified documents were material and discoverable and that proposed alternative materials were deficient and unacceptable. We affirmed the district court's ruling. United States v. Clegg, 740 F.2d 16, 18 (9th Cir. 1984).
