UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,                       v. GLAZIER FOODS CO.,                   Defendant.

| | | | | | | | | |

Criminal No: CR-H-94-58 [filed 4/26/94]

The United States of America, through its attorneys, hereby responds to Defendant Glazier Foods Company's Motion for Discovery of Exculpatory Evidence (hereinafter "Motion").

Because this case bears a substantial similarity to United States v. John J. Johnson, No. CR-H-92-152 (S.D. Tex.), in which Glazier Foods's counsel represented Mr. Johnson, Defendant Glazier Foods Company effectively has in its possession any and all Brady material. As defense counsel was advised of by letter dated April 5, 1994 (attached as Exhibit A), the government does not intend to duplicate the production of Brady material disclosed in the Johnson case. Should the government identify additional Brady material, it will produce it to the defendant no later than three days before trial, as it did in the Johnson case.

Any Brady material that is contained within a Jencks Act statement not previously disclosed does not need to be produced until the Jencks material is turned over to the defense. United States v. Scott, 524 F.2d 465, 467-68 (5th Cir. 1975) ("the rule announced in Brady is not a pretrial remedy and was not intended to override the mandate of the Jencks Act"). The government will provide any such Brady material at the time previously undisclosed Jencks statements are produced, three days before trial.

Any additional material sought by Defendant's Motion is not within the scope of Brady or is already available to him. To the extent that the defendant requests additional material beyond the scope of Brady, his motion should be denied.

Respectfully submitted, _______________/s/________________ JANE E. PHILLIPS JOAN E. MARSHALL MARK R. ROSMAN Attorneys U.S. Department of Justice Antitrust Division 1100 Commerce Street, Room 8C6 Dallas, Texas 75242-0898 (214) 767-8051
