United States of America, Plaintiff-appellee, v. Kevin Joseph Zink, Defendant-appellant, 956 F.2d 279 (10th Cir. 1992)

The parties have stipulated that we may decide this case on the briefs. After examining the briefs and appellate record, we have determined unanimously that oral argument would not materially assist the determination of this appeal. See Fed. R. App. P. 34(a); 10th Cir.R. 34.1.9. The cause is therefore ordered submitted without oral argument.

Defendant Kevin Joseph Zink has appealed his conviction as well as the denial of his motion for new trial. We have reviewed the record and have fully considered his arguments. We are persuaded that the evidence was sufficient to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that defendant knowingly participated in a conspiracy to obtain a false passport for his fugitive brother. We are also convinced that the government did not commit a violation of Brady v. Maryland, 373 U.S. 83 (1963), when it inadvertently failed to find and deliver the grand jury testimony of certain people until after the trial. In this connection, we have concluded that the grand jury material does not meet the test of United States v. Bagley, 473 U.S. 667, 682 (1984), which holds that in order for evidence to be material under Brady, there must be "a reasonable probability that, had the evidence been disclosed to the defense, the result of the proceeding would have been different."

Accordingly, we AFFIRM the denial of the motion for new trial and the judgment of conviction.
