Senate of Puerto Rico v. U.S. Dept. of Justice, 823 F.2d 574, 582
(D.C. Cir. 1987); Anaya v. United States, 815 F.2d 1373, 1379
(10th Cir. 1987); In re Special March 1981 Grand Jury (Almond
Pharmacy), 753 F.2d 575, 578 (7th Cir. 1985); In re Grand Jury
Matter (Garden Court), 697 F.2d 511, 512-513 (3d Cir. 1982); In
re Grand Jury Matter (Catania), supra at 63; In re Grand Jury
Matter (N.J. State Comm. of Investigation), 630 F.2d 996, 1000
(3d Cir. 1980).
Petitioners contend that disclosure of Resyn's records
would reveal grand jury deliberations. We disagree. Respondent
requested the books and records of Resyn. Respondent did not
request all of the grand jury matter related to Resyn and
petitioners. A general request for all grand jury records would,
in effect, be a disclosure of the grand jury proceedings. See
United States v. Stanford, 589 F.2d 285, 291 n.6 (7th Cir. 1978);
In re Grand Jury Criminal Indictments 76-149 and 77-72, 469 F.
Supp. 666, 671 (M.D. Pa. 1978).3 We conclude that disclosure of
Resyn's business records would not reveal secret grand jury
deliberations.
3 Respondent contends that use of Resyn's business records
and other third party records that respondent obtained from the
grand jury is no longer restricted by rule 6(e) because the
bankruptcy court admitted those records into evidence at Resyn's
bankruptcy trial. We need not decide respondent's contention in
light of our conclusion that Resyn's business records are not
grand jury material subject to the secrecy provisions of rule
6(e).
